Infestation of Germs

It's the second day of Spring...birds are singing, trees and plants are coming back to life, and students everywhere are exposing me to germs. Let me explain. Last week was our Spring Break on campus. I had a week of relaxing work, no class, easy to find parking spaces, and much more. Unfortunately Spring Break ended yesterday. I was first reminded that all students are back when the parking lot was at its normal capacity this morning (thank GOODNESS I have a faculty/staff parking permit)! The second friendly reminder was when I almost got hit on the pedestrian crossing by students who speed through those. The third reminder, even better, was when I went to the bathroom before class and had to listen to the girl in the next stall getting sick. Now, there is a strong reason that I am not in the medical profession...I get queasy really easily. Hearing that made me feel nauseous all day. Then I get to class and there are students coughing all around me. At work, there's a kid sitting two cubes over who is coughing up a lung. Germs are back, and they are everywhere!
