It's been a while...

WOW, I cannot believe that it has been 6 months since I have written on my blog! I think about doing it all the time, but I have been so busy (at least since school has started) that I haven't really had the time to sit and do it.

So, here I sit, taking the day off - as I have pretty much done all week. I have been feeling completely awful for the past 2 weeks, I could barely stand to go out (or stay awake) for Halloween celebrations, and I just generally felt like I was hit by a truck. I talked to both of my parents and they both had the same response - "Mono?". So, finally, on November 1st I decided to go to UHS to see if they could help me out. When the doctor walked into the room, I told her how I was feeling (and how it was not due to hangover because I wasn't really even able to drink anything) and also told her that my parents thought it could be mono. After doing a check up, she ruled that I had been sick with the flu and offered to do a mono test. I declined because the doctor said that I did not have a "mono throat" and my liver and spleen were not enlarged. After a week had gone by, my throat began to hurt so badly that it became very hard to swallow. I tried to suck it up and just say that it was because of my sinuses, but it got so bad that I decided to get a follow-up appointment with the doctor. After a blood test, we found that I did, indeed, have mono. GREAT. Just what I need. Two weeks before Thanksgiving break, when school work is pretty much at an all-time high, grad school stuff is due to my professors, and tests are prominent. The good news is that I am beginning to feel better, but I am still EXHAUSTED.

Anyway, I made it through the summer without any broken bones, I have made some great new friends that I can honestly say are amazing, and I have been doing fairly well in school. I started off 2 of my classes with BOMBING the first exam, but it looks as if I will be getting B's in the final grades! Now, its crunch time for grad school stuff. I have to have all my information to my professors by weeks end. I am FREAKING out a little bit about this. I need 3 different professors to write me letters of recommendation. I only have two. I am making up an exam on Monday for one of the professors I was going to ask, so I figured I would just ask her then. BUUUUT, of course nothing ever goes my way. She has me making the exam up with some other lady. EFF. I have to figure something out and ASAP. Ugh.. I am gonna go take a nap before I get myself more stressed out. :-(

BBL.....
