Excuse me while I cough out a lung

I have this little annoyance in my throat that won't go away. This morning I was taking a test - a pretty hard test. I'm sure everyone in there was stressed and trying really hard to focus on what they were doing. Then all of a sudden you hear this loud noise that distracts your thinking. I'm sure everyone was like, "What is that annoying noise over in the front left corner of the room.?" It was me and my annoying cough! It's not just a little "a-ha" cough anymore, it's a deep, room shaking A-HA-A-HA. To top it off, my nose was running. Poor girl sitting next to me. I'm sure she was like, "Whoa, who is this girl that won't shut up?" I would have been annoyed if I were sitting next to someone like me this morning.

This afternoon I was sitting in class and had an attack. For the last 20 minutes I could not stop coughing. Normally I would just excuse myself and leave so as not to annoy everyone around me - or the whole classroom. But I was sitting right in the center of the row in a room that was poorly designed. The rows are so close together that you can't get out if anyone is sitting in the chairs next to you. So had I tried to get out, I would have knocked everyone out as I exited the room...while coughing a lung out. I'm sure everyone would have appreciated that. Yeah right.
