No matter how many times you tell your students, your coworkers, and yourself "it's just allergies," a cold is still a cold.
(Or maybe it's a touch of the flu.)
Even though I can make a dinner out of some mini-snickers and saltine crackers, I can't turn a nasty cold into seasonal allergies. What I *can* do is get through a week of lectures and quizzes by the always-entertaining (for my students) continuous ingestion of dayquil (i.e., CRACK) during waking hours followed by a nyquil nightcap.
Am I just lucky, or is anyone else suffering because their students brought back MORE germs after spring break?
