Spring has sprung

Spring has finally arrived to Santiago. While I welcome the flowers and warmer temperatures, the allergy season is giving me what for. I woke up at 4 am today and spent the next few hours sneezing and blowing my nose. (Here´s hoping my host parents don´t question my excessive toilet paper usage. I have a roll in my bag right now.) Fortunately, I found some allergy medication that somehow made it onto the short list of things to bring. I´m so smart! So I´ll be popping those over the next few days hoping for some relief. It´s hard to keep the class rolling along when I have to keep stopping to pull a roll of toilet paper out of my bag.
