Strep in the Summer?!

I didn't realize you could get Strep throat in the summer...but apparently you can. Last week I suddenly became more ill than I remember being ever before. Three hours prior to this I was at the Museum of Natural History at Harvard completing an assignment for my biology lab. Harvard yard was packed with tourists and it was a rainy, yet pleasant, day. After grabbing a burger with my friend in Cambridge I returned home where I remained in bed for four days! Having had to call in sick to both work and my classes for the week, I have a lot of catching up to do now...

My mother flew in from San Francisco this weekend and we stayed at the Taj Boston. Our room overlooked the Public Gardens, I had a lavender bath, and we had 2 O'clock tea where a live harp player performed; it was exactly what I needed to complete my recovery.

Tomorrow is my bio final (yikes!) and wednesday is the last day of summer work hours. On friday I'll fly out to San Francisco to spend two weeks with my mother before the fall semester begins! I am so so excited! I've heard it's winter there, I had better pack some sweaters...

Until September,

Kayla
