Other wise, I don't feel sick, but I just don't feel myself. The chills come throughout the day during my classes. Can this be from stress or lack of sleep, or am I coming down with something?

it can be stress but mostly is that you are lack of sleeping.
The first step is to figure out what's making you tired. Some possible causes:
Skimping on sleep
Most people need a solid 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night to feel their best. But with today's hectic lifestyles, that can sometimes be difficult to achieve.
How to feel better: Try to make up for lost nighttime sleep by taking a 20- to 40-minute nap during the day, sleeping in on weekends, and turning in early on Wednesdays so that lack of sleep doesn't accumulate throughout the long work week.
Insomnia
Sometimes the problem isn't lack of time to sleep--it's that you can't fall asleep.
How to feel better: Try getting more exercise; it's one of the most effective ways to combat insomnia. It's also a good idea to cut back on caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol, especially before bedtime. (Although alcohol is a sedative, it tends to keep you in light sleep rather than more restful deep sleep, so you wake up feeling tired.) You might also try putting a few drops of essential oil of lavender on your pillow, which one study found can make you sleepy. Finally, don't lie awake in bed. If you can't sleep, get up and do something relaxing--read a book or watch TV--until you feel drowsy.
Sleep Apnea
People with sleep apnea generally snore up a storm, then suddenly stop breathing--which is marked by a period of eerie silence. After a minute or two without air, they wake up with a start, often gasping and snorting. This may happen hundreds of times a night, and sufferers may not remember ever waking up. But when they rouse in the morning after such a restless night, they're exhausted.
How to feel better: Sleep apnea is caused by a blockage in the airway. Losing excess pounds can often ease the problem, as can sleeping on your side. Your doctor may also suggest that you wear a dental device at night to keep your airway clear or a mask hooked up to a machine that can help you breathe. Finally, in some cases surgery is recommended to remove obstructions or enlarge the airway.
Recent illness
Just because you've gotten over a cold or the flu doesn't mean you're back to your usual self. Being sick can make you feel tired -- sometimes for weeks after the illness has passed.
How to feel better: Take it easy, and let your body recover at its own pace.

WITH EACH MEAL TAKE SUPPLEMENTS WITH YOUR FOOD. VIT C, CALCIUM, POTASSIUM, FISH OIL ,, ETC. OR YOU CAN TAKE A MULTI-VITAMIN THAT CONTAINS MOST EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE FISH OIL CAPSULES,, WHICH YOU CAN BUY AT WAL MART REXALL BRAND IN THE LARGE BOTTLE. DRINK JUST PLAIN WATER WITH NO SOFT DRINKS, AND IF TIME PERMITS TAKE TIME TO WALK WITH A MODERATE WEIGHT IN EACH HAND AND WALK A HILL ORTWO AND DOWN HILL.
