Death by la poussiere

These allergies are killing me slowing. I feel as though I breathe in pure pollen. I can see it in the air and on the ground. And the worst part is "la poussiere," the dust. I cannot get it out. My eyes itch and hurt and are red. I use these eye drops, but they have stopped working.

I do not sleep anymore. I just toss and turn all night. Many of us have been experiencing nightmares. Students have also said that they have restless nights sleeps like I have where they feel like they are awake all night and "people" won't let them fall asleep. Sometimes I dream that I am stranded in a train station and a hoard of people rush off a train at me. And then I wake up. Other times I am lost in Avignon with my friends and I tell them I must go home and sleep, but they won't go home and I don't know the way. Those are 2, to name a few.

Allergies and nightmares are not helping, but they are not ruining my life here in Avignon. Everyday is new and fun. I can't believe a third of my trip is almost over!!!
