Last week was very hard for me because I caught the flu. At first, I thought it was only a small cold, but soon I had a fever and felt very weak. Because of this, I had to stay home and rest. I was very disappointed because I had many plans with my friends. One of the biggest plans was to go to the Christmas market together. I was really looking forward to it because I love the lights, the music, and the warm food that people sell there. My friends and I had talked about it for weeks, and we were excited to take pictures and enjoy the holiday atmosphere. However, when I got sick, I had no choice but to cancel. Another plan was to go out for dinner with my friends. We had chosen a restaurant that we all wanted to try. It was not easy to find a day when everyone was free, so I felt sad when I had to cancel. My friends understood, but I still felt guilty because it is always difficult to match our schedules. Everyone is busy with school, club activities, and family. Now I think the next time we can meet will be in January. It feels far away, but I hope I will be healthy by then. I want to enjoy time with my friends without worrying about sickness. This experience taught me that health is very important, and I should take better care of myself.
