A search here would have revealed that this has been discused before. In detail.
Benadryl or diphenhydramine tabs will make you drowsy, so don't plan on taking them before class or driving.
Next time, carry a bottle of Chigga-way with you and use it. Make sure you get plenty around your boot tops.
Liquid Benadryl or calamine lotion for the poison. Don't scratch it or even touch it, if you can avoid it.
I always put a couple of drops of clear nail polish on the chigger bites to seal them up. Stops the itching and kills bugs dead.
Good luck.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
