Hang on Sloopy

I went to the Michigan State game on Saturday in the Shoe. It was exciting! Although, I have to say we did NOT do well the second half, but we ultimately won. GO BUCKEYES! We're ranked number 1 right now.

On Thursday night, I got to see Garrett, my cousin on my Dad's side, for the first time in about three years. It was really good to catch up with him; he looks great and he was going to take a tour of the college the following day. He visited some people at OSU who went to his high school, so I was able to meet his friends.

Also, I got a job at the front desk of my hall; I'm working the 3-5 am shift now. I have an 8:30-11:00 shift on Wednesday. I don't have too many hours yet, but a little bit helps.

I received an 89 on my first midterm in Algebra and Trig! That was a big surprise to me considering all the people in the class that I talked to received either C's or D's on the midterm.

Parent's weekend is next weekend, so Mom and Dad will be coming up to visit!

Until next time, Hang on Sloopy...

Feeling Sick

Ok, so when I got sick, I got really sick. First, I thought it was strep throat, but the test results came back negative. Then, my doctor thought it might be mono, but the test results were negative. Finally, my doctor discovered that I had bacterial tonsilitis after taking a blood test. My tonsils were inflamed! Yes, INFLAMED! I didn't go to class for four days it was that terrible. However, I got the right meds for it on Thursday when mom picked me up and took me home. I kept throwing up because my doctor gave me some really weird pain meds, but I stopped taking them and the problem was solved.

After being on antibiotics a couple days now, I feel a lot better.

Today was my first day of classes since last monday. And I had my math midterm today, so I hope I did well; I studied hard.

Anyways, I'm so happy I got to recuperate at home. Thanks, Mom. as well as to all the people on the floor who helped me out (even when it got gross). I guess this was just practice for them for nursing.

It's life.

When I said college isn't all fun and games, I was being serious. I'm currently sick with a high temp, headache, and sore throat. I didn't go to class today, and I slept basically the whole day. But, Ben was nice enough to drive me to CVS to fill my prescriptions so I didn't have to walk all the way there. Thanks, Ben! Although, I will have to go to class tomorrow because I have two quizzes and work to turn in. : (

anyways, I'm hoping I'll get better soon.

love you and miss you all.

What's new?

Exciting things that have happened since moving in:

• I brought my fish, burt, with me to school, he's doing well!
• I went to the 4th annual World's Biggest Pillow Fight. It was intense; the fighting was a lot more crazy than i expected.
• I went to my first OSU football game! We totally killed Northwestern (58-7), but it was so cool. I got to see TBDITL do the script ohio and dot the i. That was awesome.
• Also, I'm volunteering at the hospital and I purchased my first pair of scrubs! CRAZY!
• I got a position in my Hall Council, so we have the opportunity to improve dorm life by making upgrades in the basement and the hall work-out room and having hall events.
• Although, it's not all fun and games: I got a 30/30 on my first bio quiz, and I have my first spanish test soon. wish me luck.
