Welcome to My Life...

Ok, so I really and truly can't take much more. I am so friggin tired of feeling sick all the time. I just want to get better. I wish that these stupid doctors could figure out what is wrong with me!!! Ugh, I spent 3-4 hours yesterday doped up in the ER because of my stomach pain...they ran an abdominal xray and an ultrasound and found nothing. I was almost hoping they would find something, just so I would know what was wrong with me. But, I guess I'll just have to wait until my appointment with my gastroenterologist on July 5th.
Doug's been having a pretty crappy weekend too, which ultimately means that Michelle is as well. The stupid moving company that was supposed to move all his crap from here to Connecticut never showed up. So now he has to start his new job tomorrow and all his stuff is still down here!! Oy vey. I should never have gotten out of bed this morning.

Ok, so it's been forever and a million days since I've updated this thing. I don't even know why I have it, I never look at it. But, anyway, it's been pretty uneventful around here, well actually, that's a lie. My grandma had another stroke, my aunt's dad was diagnosed with multiple cancers and given 6 months to a year to live, my grammie Burtt's sister was diagnosed with a brain tumor and given 2 months to live, and I was diagnosed with Ciliac Disease. Geez, I guess a lot has been going on. My parents recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. We threw them a big party and then they went on a second honeymoon to Hawaii. My mom was really excited about it, I guess she has always wanted to go there, and my dad was really happy that they could afford to do it. I got to spend the week with my sister in NY, which was nice, because I don't really get to spend much time with her anymore, since I live primarily in Philly. We had a lot of fun...I actually didn't mind being in the middle of nowhere. I missed the Memorial day parade in Gtown, but, if you are from that town, you will know that I didn't miss much.
Right now I'm getting used to eating nothing but rice and taking a summer class here to make sure I have everything in line for grad school in July. I can't beleive I'm already at the professional phase of my schooling. It's scary how fast the time flies by! I can't deny I'm really nervous about grad school, but I'm excited too!

All in all, not a bad spring break...
I turned 21 on the 4th (yahoo!), which of course meant that I went to the bar...with my aunts and uncles and my mom! Oy vey, but I still had fun. Had a few bombers, a few mixed drinks, and a beer, and watched my family get drunk. My mom even got hit on by a guy my age! How sad is it that my mom has more game than I do?!
Other than that, I pretty much stayed around my house watching movies and eating doritos. It was an amazing break...very relaxing. In fact, it was so relaxing that I didn't get any work done. I didn't even write my paper that was due the Thurday before break! AAhhh! I'm going to flunk out of school, but I'm ok with that! I'll just open a day care...or sit at home and watch movies and eat doritos!
On a sad note, my cousin's grammie passed away on Tuesday, which of course means that yet another loved one in my family has passed away. I'm getting pretty tired of all this death stuff. But I guess God has everything under control.
Ok, I'm going to get back to watching Grey's Anatomy:Season 1 then some Desperate Housewives followed by a Grey's anatomy chaser! Yahoo!!

Oy vey...I'm sooo tired of school...yet again! I want so very much to graduate. No more tests, papers, reading...yada yada yada.
Here's a run down of the next 2 weeks before break...ugh...
Monday-Immuno paper due (whew, glad that's over with!)
Tues- Med Term test
Wed-quiz in Caste and Class, quiz in Genetics
Thurs-paper due in Contemp
Fri-Immuno test
Mon-Genetics test
Thurs-Med Term Midterm
Can I please be done? Pretty, pretty please?

On the plus side, I'm skipping contemp on Thurs. March 2nd so I can get home early for spring break! Yay!!

This past weekend was a lot of fun. Myself, Joe, Rooster Joe (Joe's friend from home), Michelle, Doug, and Sarah all got together on Sat nite for a little stress relief. I made chocolate cake, Michelle supplied the booze, and Joe brought cards. It was a great nite. Needless to say, I'm terrible at Texas Hold Em...but I play spoons fairly well! Joe was amazing at both...naturally! Then we played another infamous game of Twister. Once again, I'm too fat to play that game, but I had fun anyway! After that, Doug and I had our routine "fight", this time Joe taught me how to hold my own by planting my back foot securely so Doug couldn't knock me over. Yes, I'm very badly bruised! Joe also tried to teach me how to swing dance, but quickly learned I'm a white girl (I have no rhythm). Oh well, I guess he'll have to keep coming over and teaching me...which I wouldn't mind, cuz that means more Joe time! Yahoo!

Ok, time for bed...8 am genetics lab with dowden...eh, screw it, his name doesn't deserve to be capitalized!

Nite all!

So, tomorrow is Valentine's Day, a day for lover's in love...and, yet again, I'm spending it alone...

I absolutely hate this "holiday", it's so commercialized that it really doesn't mean anything. Well, perhaps I'm a bit biased considering I don't have a significant other! But seriously, why do we pick one day out of 365 days to tell people we love them! That seems so silly. We should tell people we love them everyday!

Speaking of telling people how we feel...I should really get on that! But how do you tell someone how you feel about them without sounding like a totally jerk? I guess I should just bite the bullet and let go of my pride...I mean, what's the worst that can happen...he says he doesn't feel the same way? So what, at least I'll still have a great friend!

So, enough about love...school is going well, I'm finally getting in the swing of things again! I have a few papers due this week and the following week, but nothing I can't handle. I've been trying to keep up on everything, but that doesn't always happen, sometimes there's good stuff to watch on tv!

Speaking of tv...American Idol has been amazing! I'm so excited to see who makes it through this Hollywood stage...24 people by Wednesday, I would hate to be a judge! There is so much talent!

Well, I better get to bed before I wake Michelle up with my typing, plus I have an 8 AM genetics lab tomorrow morning...yuck!

Later Taters...

Wow...this weekend was soooo much fun! I went to MD with Doug and Michelle for Doug's Daddy's 60th!
Here's a run down of the weekend...

1. Went into Baltimore (pronounced bal-more) only to find out that there was a homicide at the convention center...where we were headed!
2. Helped Doug's mom make this amazing hot potato salad and ate dinner at the best bbq place ever!! Yay food!
3. Yup, you guessed it, ate more food...cake, and meatballs, and dip, and pasta salad, and potato salad, and regular tossed salad...yeah, my tummy hurts.

Then I came home and wrote the crappiest paper of my life and now, I'm going to bed!
Nite all!

So...I'm thouroughly tired of school...I want to drop out and become a stripper...except I'm fat. Yeah, stripping not my forte. Maybe I'll make doughnuts and sell them on the street. Philly has way too many pretzel vendors...we neeed doughnut vendors. Everyone likes a good doughnut...gooey, soft, frosted (or powdered...whatever floats your boat). Hmm, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

Well, anyway, I'm having trouble with my love life, or lack thereof. Why can't the perfect man just ask me out! He's already strolled into my life, but I don't think he realizes how much he means to me. I wish I could tell him...but it's so difficult...and I don't think it's my place! Hmm, but how do I let him know how I feel without actually telling him...quite the predicament!

This weekend I'm going to MD with Michelle and Doug for Doug's Daddy's 60th! Yahoo! I love parties and I love Doug's fam...so it will be a great weekend. We're going to eat dinner at a Pork BBQ place! I love food...so naturally I'm in love with the idea of BBQ, so messy, yet so satisfying.

Well...time for bed...sooooo sleepy! (Plus when I enter my dream state...I have a bf!)

Nite Ya'll
