Poison Ivy/Sumac Outbreak

The holiday break for me was spent in New Orleans, Milwaukee, and Chicago. The trip was amazing. Forum went well; we hung out with the ULL students a lot, but we did meet lots of other architecture students from all over the country.

When I got to Milwaukee, I was surprized to see the Ashley and Mike both had poison ivy and they got it from the site. I was curious as to why I hadn't gotten it. Maybe I'm immune..? They were quarantined in the room. None of us wanted to go anywhere near them really.

As I'm spending my last day in Chicago, what do you guess I see appearing on my arm but poison ivy. GREAT! I only have a little small patch, but I really hope it doesn't spread. I saw Shannon's rash today and heard how his started as a tiny patch and grew. That scares me.

To make matters worse, Amy started a stomach virus bug going around among us architecture students. I felt the effects of it Saturday night. This really hasn't been the best weekend for me. And now I get to go back to work.... Joy.
