Whether I'm in the U.S. or Europe, allergy season and all it's pollen will inevitably find me. Monday through Thursday, I battled the Hamburg cold epidemic that affected the rest of my UNC peers, but I finally felt better on Friday. Then on Saturday morning, I woke up with all the ominous allergy symptoms and stayed in bed all day. Today was our group outing to the harbor for a boat trip, but I still felt terrible and had to miss. So instead of taking pictures and having fun, I did laundry, watched movies, and worked on my blog. However, my host mother offered to take me to the harbor one day after school this week since I was too sick today; how thoughtful! Luckily for me, there is rain in the forecast for tomorrow so maybe that will help my allergies.
