Well. . .

Sorry for the lack of posts. It's been pretty crazy here. I'm all settled in to my dorm. Not too sure about the roomie... Work in progress....

Oh and I wanted to thank "Management" for posting for me. As the internet at college resets itself too often to publish a post... I've lost a few long posts because of this. . .
College is good. I'm becoming very good friends with an already friend Meghan. We have great fun together. :)

Classes are crazy. I'm taking, Abnormal Psych, English, Phlebotomy, and Drawing. All of which I'm excited about. Kinda weird, all my Teachers are female. Not bad. Just weird. Last year was mainly male. So it's a change. My schedule is pretty open. Except Tuesdays and Thursdays, on which I have class pretty much from 1-9pm. And then on Monday and Wednesday I have one class at 11am that gets over around noon. And Friday-Sunday I have off. SO this weekend I came home.

Okay, this post is going to be all over the place. Sorry. I have a lot to recap. It won't really be in any order either. Just there.

Last Saturday I went on a hike. It was around 6 miles round trip. Really fun. We hiked up to a lake and had a picnic and hung out. Heard some good preaching. All the stuff Baptists do. Well, on the way down. Maybe a mile into it. I had stayed back with J and her three yearold so she didn't have to walk alone. As the three year old has short legs. We came to a scary bridge. I should have taken pictures. I made it across carrying Wookie. Get to the end go to get off 'cause J was about to me carrying her little man,. Well I jump off maybe 5 inches. Hit a rock and hurt my foot. Well then I had to make a choice. sit in the woods all alone or walk the remaining 2 miles. So I walked the rest of the way down the mountain. Got to the van. and bout died from the pain. The other Church group we were with had an ice pack. I was so thankful!!! Okay. Sounds painful enough right there right? Well SUnday for check in at College I was on crutches. Went to change in to some shorts so had taken the shoe off the none hurt foot. Made it about a foot caught my pinky toe on the none hurt foot on the crutch. It's broken. Purple and broken. Great. To top it off. Have I ever mentioned how easily I bruise? Like a peach. By the time I got back to my dorm Sunday night My underarms and ribs were purple. I could hardly move. I had this icy hot roll on stuff so I used it. Burning. Horrible burning. I read the back. "A transient burning may occur open application on skin, if so it usually disappears in several DAYS." Okay. I wasn't uncomfortable enough to begin with right?

So I've been taking 600mgs of ibprofen around the clock since Saturday. Well except today because we don'
t have any in the house. I am in so much pain and my foot is huge.It's tearing up my stomach though.. I have been in so much pain from taking it. But can't walk much if I don't. Catch 22.

So I'm no longer on any stomach meds. Just vitamins. . . It's been nice. I'll explain that more later.

I Had so much fun Skydiving. But that deserves its own post. :)

Status Report

Dear Readers,

Sincerely,
The Management

Any Ideas?

What I did Yesterday?

Here.

I'm stressed.

I'm supposed to be going to college in less then 3 weeks. 

Don't have a dorm yet.

Or my award letter from financial aid.

It's crap.

I didn't want to go in the first place.

But I agreed.

Now.

I've quit my job.

Dropped my classes.

Told everyone I was leaving.

Yet.

Right now.

I don't see how it will be possible.

I don't have the money.

Yes.

I could probably get a bunch of student loans.

But that just doesn't sound great.

Especially when I could have stayed here and done it for free.

I've had a crappy day.

It's my Besties 18th birthday. 

We were supposed to have a pudding fight.

Didn't happen.

Then I find out the I probably won't be having a off to college party.

Unless I throw it myself.

But really...

Why would I do that. 

J told me that she wasn't sure because of some issues.

So I lied.

I said my mom wanted to throw one.

Which really isn't a lie.

She does want to throw one.

But she doesn't have the money.

Crap.

She didn't have the money to pay my dorm deposit.

No big deal.

I don't need one.

Right?

Crap.

Why is this such a big deal to me?

Why do I care so much?

It's not like I'll be gone forever.

Or won't ever see these people.

Well. 

As you can tell. 

I'm not exactly 

Fine,

Or anywhere close really.

I want to cry.

I want to throw in the towel on this whole college thing.

Who cares about the future?

I just want to be DONE.

I have so much other stuff to blog about.

I just don't have the gunction.

Sorry.

You've Yet To Convince Me

The new blogger annoys me.

It is a pain to get me signature at the bottom instead of the top.

What good would it do there? 

Well...

Big stuff is happening here. 

Really big.

I leave for camp Sunday.

Not for me.

I will actually be working at this camp.

It will be fun.

Saturday, before I leave, I have to go shopping with my Church to get the stuff for this camp.

Saturday night will be great fun.

I'm going to a Sara Evans concert!

With Danny somebody opening. 

I have like a bunch of laundry to do before then.

I have to work today.

And will be gone ALL day tomorrow.

Guess I didn't want sleep anyways. 

Well, I'll get back Friday, have a whole day of busies.

Saturday the 7th, well that's gonna be the best day.

I'm taking my mom Skydiving! 

I can't wait!

It's going to be SO fun.

So on top of all of that taking up the first part of my August. 

I have to pack.

Why?

Well, I'm off to College by the 25th of August.

Probably closer to the 20th. 

Mom is pretty much making me go.

"But you are 19."

Yeah, I know this.

But, it makes her happy.

It's not the going away to College that I don't want to do.

It's the going to that College.

Its the leaving Wookie behind.

It's going to just about KILL me....

I love him.

:-/

random tidbit

1. My favorite thing to eat is radishes. I think the are amazing.

Ketchep

It's been awhile.

I couldn't even tell you what I said in my last post.

Without looking.

The absence of blogging,

Well I wish I could say I've been too busy.

With fun summer things.

But truth is.

My health has gone down hill.

Fast.

I am nauseous all the time.

I am in pain all the time.

I have a sinus infection. 

A bladder infection.

Bursting cysts. 

All the super fun stuff. 

I've had an x-ray 

I've had an ultrasound.

Oh, the stupid ultrasound.

The couldn't see anything.

They had to do it internally. 

The stupid probe was the size of a vacuum hose. 

OUCH! 

I have hardly eaten anything since Sunday. 

Maybe 5oz since Wednesday.

Let me tell you:

For someone who struggles with gaining and maintaining weight.

Going even a day with out eating causes havoc.

I called in to work on Thursday.

I couldn't even sit up.

But felt slightly better yesterday. 

So off to work I went. 

I lasted an hours and a half. 

Then got sent home I felt so awful.

I will try again today.

I still feel awful. 

But hate calling in.

We'll see I guess.
