A CATastrophe of a semester

Who cares about the cool places you'll visit with Study Cats Abroad, I spent my entire semester in struggle city! I was so excited about this program, as I am a HUGE cat lover and hope to one day be a successful cat lady. However, I am embarrassed to admit that I am allergic to cats. When applying for the program, I asked my study abroad advisor if allergy medication would be provided for those of us with allergies, and I was reassured multiple times that it would be and not to pack my own. Lo and behold, once we arrive in our first destination and my allergies start acting up, there was NO medication. I basically wheezed and sneezed my way through the semester. I couldn't even enjoy the cool cities we visited, as my eyes were too puffy to see properly. I guess the accommodations were alright, though.
