Illness

It is days like today where i wish we could use the internet to go to class in place of walking twenty minutes in the rain/snow/slush when you're sick with a fever that decides to break as soon as you sit down in your first class of the day.  I've done online classes, and since there is apparently less effort in taking a class on your computer, the online professor feels the need to make you do massive quantities of work to compensate.  Either way getting sick in the first week of a new semester is just bad.  It consumes my every thought, seeing as though a running nose and a throbbing head combined are impossible distractions to ignore.

On top of feeling like a walking corpse due to the adverse effects of flu medication, I had to walk over what were once sidewalks and streets that had been turned into a raging river.  It would be so much easier to just do a virtual lecture via iChat or some equivalent on crappy days, that way the school doesn't have to cancel classes on on especially bad days, and students don't have to suffer the torment of wet weather on not-bad-enough days.  It wouldn't cost any extra money seeing as how iChat is free, and it would be no more extra effort to arrange than speed-walking through the wind and pouring rain.  Any flaws in this suggestion?
