So many sneezes all around campus

[Anonymouse]

People have been sneezing nonstop. It's frustrating because there's too many to remember them all! I can only really remember the ones from the beginning of the day, on the first really nice day back from break, but sadly I've forgotten most of them.

First one that I noticed, I saw as I was crossing the street. This pretty girl with short blonde hair was leaving the cafeteria. The funny thing was she sneezed right as she passed me and this cluster of obnoxiously flowering trees. I had been looking at the trees as I passed them thinking about how much it would suck to have allergies around those things. She sneezed a "Kihshoo!" followed by a second similar-sounding sneeze.

On my way back to the science building I saw this group of guys and girls walking over to sit on a bench. One of the guys in the group sneezed a loud, desperate-sounding "HIHSSHHOOO" that nearly made me drop dead with glee. It's rare that I hear a sneeze in a real life situation that I actually really enjoy the sound of. I was so happy that I would be walking past him, but sadly no more sneezes from him.

Before class I was telling one of my friends about how I wore glasses that day because I pulled an all-nighter and didn't have the energy to pry my eyes open wide enough to plaster some contacts in. She told me she should be wearing glasses, since she can't see very well without them, but that she lost them. She couldn't wear contacts either because her allergies were really bad that day. A few minutes later she sneezed, a loud "EhSCHOO!" I blessed her and she tried to thank me but two more loud sneezes interrupted her. They were a high-pitched at the end but powerful-sounding.

We had presentations in class that day and she had probably three more fits of three or four sneezes each. A guy who sits one seat over from me sneezed a muffled "Hmmfkt." I glanced at him and he had his hand fisted against his nose like he was trying to hold back another sneeze to avoid interrupting the presentation, but another sneeze never came. I've never heard him sneeze before but he just seems like the kind of guy who would have loud ones. His nose is a little beak-like, which I don't normally like but his nostrils are just the right shape.

I almost forgot this one! I was playing the piano for my friend who arranged a song for a few different instruments. There were a million pages and my fingers never left the keys so I enlisted another friend to turn the pages for me. She sat in a chair right beside mine. About halfway through the piece she turned away from me abruptly and sneezed a "Heh'SHIEW!" at the ground. Someone was recording the song so if it gets up on Facebook or YouTube I might share.

It seems like harvest season for the forum.

Thanks for sharing! I wish I was on that campus and not in this boring brown autumn... no allergies whatsoever
