Flu, pt.II

The second flu wave has hit Birmingham, why second? Let's rewind a bit...

Probably, you remember that I told you about the Fresher's Flu (one of the phenomena happening during fresher's week). To be accurate the reason for the Fresher's Flu is not only the excessive partying, students just don't want to let summer go. We are prepared to continue wearing our T-shirts in the cold and cling to the idea of summer as long as we can. But who want to let summer go? Probably no one, thus, we end up with a Flu wave in university.

The second flu wave can be connected with the question - who wants to wait for summer? Once the first sun ray hits the lake and stays there for more than half an hour we are ready to take off our clothes and pretend the summer has finally come. We would sin on the lake, play ball, even sunbathe! Last week Birmingham was one of the hottest points in Europe, the South East, North and Central Europe being covered in stow. And let me tell you, no one was planning on missing even a minute sitting at home. The lake has been raving with visitors all week, people ready to endure the cold just to capture a single sun ray and dream about the summer.

The result of course is Flu. Everyone I know, and probably everyone they know, and everyone they know know, and everyone they know know know (lol this may go on for a while) is SICK. They would either complain about a sore throat, or a runny nose, or a bad cough, or fatigue... The campus gets filled with sick people complaining and infecting each other! Of course in a week it will all be back to normal. We would all have spent the necessary time, money and thought trying to get better. Maybe a bit wiser and a bit summer-less we will continue with our daily routine.

I guess you can call this a pre-summer flu, the one that may infect you body but will not infect you dreams of an awesome summer!
