Being Sick

Well, I woke up this morning feeling awful. I went to bed earlier than normal last night because I felt like I was getting sick and sure enough I am.  I can't swallow without my throat hurting and I have the worst headache.  Being sick at school is worse than being sick at home because I don't have my bed to sleep in.  I have two tests this week and a paper due this week and I cannot get sick. This is a big bummer.

Birthday

Well it is that time of the year again...my birthday.  It will be weird not being home and celebrating it with my family.  Normally we go out to eat at one of my favorite places and do all the cliche birthday stuff, but that has to wait until I am home on break.  My birthday is the 19th so this Tuesday and I can't wait to be 19! It is my golden birthday so it will be awesome!

Mail

Well, the first few weeks I always got mail! And it was awesome! But the last few weeks I haven't gotten anything.  This doesn't bug me, but it is nice to get mail every now and then.  I am not upset at all don't get me wrong, but it is nice to get something every now and then!

Eating

I eat a lot.  Like way too much food and that has never been an issue with me because I can't seem to gain weight from eating so much.  I should be 300 pounds with the amount I eat.  Coming to college I heard about the "freshman 15" and those things which scared some people.  Not be.  I do need to start eating healthier though just in general.  I am not getting fat by any means, but eating some veggies here and there and some fruit can never hurt.  I will start my new eating ways today!

Henrietta Lacks Speaker

I went and listened to a speaker from the Mayo Clinic speak and talk about Henrietta Lacks.  She was interesting because she knew first hand what the HeLa Cells do and how they work.  I thought she was very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time on it, but she spoke in a monotone voice and everyone around us wasn't paying attention...including some professors in front of me.  I thought it was a good speech though.

Fantasy Football

I am in a fantasy football league with some of my good friends back home and we each put $20 in the pool for the winner to get at the end.  I went in thinking "oh I don't wanna do this" or "I won't win"....well I am in first place right now and can potentially win $160! I guess it really means don't doubt yourself ever because funny things can happen!

LETS GOO!!

Homework on homework on homework

I have so many things going on at one time in all of my classes it is overwhelming.  I am getting stressed out with all the work I have to do in the next two weeks.  I feel like in every class I have at least two assignments.  Very stressful.  Today, I am spending the whole day doing homework and I am not even sure I can get everything done either.  I don't put things off; I just have so much.

Going to be a long day of homework on homework on homework.

New Recruit

This weekend my roommate Dan and I have a recruit staying with us.  I am not sure what we are going to do, but we want to make sure his visit is as good as it can be.  I remember when I was being recruited I wanted to meet all the guys on the team and get to know them and the kid showing me around made that happen.  So I need to do that for the kid this weekend.

Should be a fun weekend with him!

Parents visited

This past weekend my parents visited for the first time since move in day! It was awesome for them to come and visit.  We went to the football game together, but sadly we lost.  My parents wanted to come down sooner and visit, but with how busy they are and with work it just never worked out.  

One of the best things to do when parents visit is to go shopping for new clothes and groceries.  So that was nice.  I can't wait until I go home and see them for Thanksgiving!
