i got it my freshman year of college from my neighbor in the dorm. i think she either sneezed on me or coughed on me or something. i suppose i secretly wanted it, though, because i was not doing so hot during my second semester and was hoping i'd be able to take medical withdrawal or something stupid like that. well, i did end up having the option, but didn't take it, and got a 2.3 for the semester and blew my full ride all to bits. also, i spent two weeks before finals at home, and three days out of that in the hospital. no fun.

on the other hand, charles has never had mono, but he has been around three people who have: his sister, his ex-girlfriend (the neighbor that i caught it from, coincidentally), and me. we were just starting to go out when i got really sick, and he had me over at his dorm room every night so i could lay with my back to his ice-cold concrete wall. and he's never been sick with mono in his life. so who knows, you may be immune.
