It has happened again. Last year, during spring semester finals, the season changed from spring to dead summer abruptly, and I got sick. This always happens to me at the season cusps; my immune system apparently is terrified of change and goes into hyperactive "EVERYTHING IS BAD! REJECT ALL INTRUDERS!" mode upon any sign of 75+ degree weather. Last year, in my Property review session, I had already sneezed twelve times before my professor looked at me and said "um, are you okay?" in front of my 80 person section. "Just fine," I replied, while honking into my 26th tissue of the afternoon.
Yesterday it set in again while I was in the library, working on studying for my Evidence exam. I could feel the snot dripping down my nasal passages and the sinuses behind my eyes starting to swell, and I knew. I just knew. And the worst part is that there is absolutely nothing I can do except drug up, live through it, and invest in Kleenex. Today I went to my internship, came home, and tried to work, but the words got all dizzy on the page. So, you know, I was forced into watching Grey's Anatomy reruns and then the Red Sox game. Absolutely forced. I didn't want to do it. Really.
Anyway, now that the Sox won 17-8 and Denny's LVAD wire is cut, I should probably get back to learning the rules of Evidence. Time for some more Airborne.

Sounds like hay fever to me! When I get to the point you're describing, it's time to break out the Sudafed.
Right now I'm on a 2x daily regimen of nasal spray and eye drops, and a daily dose of Claritin. We'll see if that can hold off the inevitable.
I was at the game - YAHOO!!! Hope you feel better, stat.
