And the Flu Snuck In...

Today I came to the conclusion that although sometimes I think I am super woman I am not. I got the flu Monday night and tried to go to class on Tuesday and nearly fainted during work because I was not feeling hot. I got sent home from work. I called my teachers and they were understanding. But needless to say I am behind on two exams and I have already missed 2 days of classes. I am not allowed to return to classes until my fever has been gone for 24 hours. The problem. I wake up with a fever. I don't have one all day even without medication but I wake up with a tiny little fever 100.2. Man is it frustrating. But I will make it through. Hopefully I won't get to behind in my studies. The hard part is trying to stay awake while doing the readings for my classes.
On a lighter note. I have being having tons of fun the past couple of weeks. Taking time to laugh and still get my work done. I have been on a couple of dates with different guys and had a lot of fun just doing random things. My roommates are wonderful. Rachel is so sweet and has been taking good care of me. She helps me to remember to do my daily things with a laugh. She is just so awesome! And Meredith always has a funny comment. She is so good at pushing me out of my box. She is just too much. I swear I have lost a ton of weight because of how much they both make me laugh.
Well I am going to attempt my homework again.
Always,

Things Happen and Life Get's Better


Recently I had to get my student ID replaced because my old one was beginning to not work and it looked nothing at all like me. Afterward I placed them side by side to look at the pictures and there was such a difference I decided to make a better comparison. The one on the left was taken in March of this year and the one on the right was taken in April 07. There is quite the difference. I have lost a total of 115 pounds and have never felt better or looked better for that matter. I am proud of my weight- loss it was a tough road that still isn't over but I am closer than I have ever been.
On a different note it is freezing in Rexburg. I am looking forward to when my parents bring me my car. It will be nice to not be an icicle by the time I get to class. The worst part is it is only the first of October. Classes are keeping me really busy along with work. Spanish seems to be my biggest challenge so far this semester. That and men. Spanish at least has a how to manual. I have gotten myself a few study groups and a tutor so hopefully by the end of the semester I'll be able to hablar en espanol. I guess we'll see. I love my EMT class! I love the humor and the fun I get to have while learning about medicine totally fun and totally worth it. It a ton of work though! The other two are interesting classes that take time also. I have had a hard go of it this week but hopefully next week will go better. I have confidence that it will.
General Conference is this weekend and I can hardly wait. I am nervous about getting all my work done but I am sure I will. I did last weekend even with the power outage at my apartment and the intranet going down the next day. Well I should go to bed. Tomorrow is only a half hour away but at least it is Friday.
Always,
