| Because I can... and shouldn't |
Okay... so right now I should instead be writing about the similarities and differences between Egyptian sculptures and those during the Greek Archaic period. But, what am I doing... I've not written here in so long that I figure I at least needed to let people know that I do still have a pulse.
Last weekend at this time I was on my way back from Florida; ohh... glorious Florida. Even though I have a lot of things to do before I graduate (one of them being finding a job), I can't wait. After having a taste of life outside of school last summer, I'm just itching to be done and be able to enjoy my evenings and weekends. Currently I'm going nonstop including working 6 days a week.
Anyway, the other great thing about being in Florida was that I was finally able to see Todd again. This long distance is not at all fun, but at least we're now in the last time we're going to have to deal with it... and only 47 days to go (relatively short compared to some of the other lengths we've done before).
Its so hard to love someone and to want to be with them to go through life together, and to want to reach out and touch them to comfort them when their going through a rough time and not be able to. Its also hard when you can't be there to celebrate the joys with them as well. At least the distance won't last forever.
Okay, so back to what's been going on. After getting back from Florida I had to return to work and class. Tuesday evening I lay in bed sore all over and freezing cold, with a bit of a sore throat; I contributed it to the temperature in Ackerman Auditorium where I sat for 2 and a half hours that night for a convocation. In retrospect, I think I was cold because I had a fever. On Wednesday I went to work as normal and in my afternoon class my teacher sent me home to bed. Now I was not only still freezing and sore all over but my sore throat was extreme. After resting a bit, I tried to go to my evening class but made it only to the bottom of the stairs before I turned around, returned to my room and began sobbing in frustration. After a couple hours of sleep during which my fever broke, I ran to Walmart for food and medicine so that I had some nutrition to put into my body.
Thursday morning I walked across to the University Health Center where the NP took a culture of my throat, gave me a prescription for Amoxicillin, and told me not to go to work and class that day. After going to pick up my prescription, I slept most of the rest of the day. I tried to eat food, but it still hurt to swallow my own saliva.
Finally Friday morning I woke up feeling better... with 40 minutes to get ready for work. I went to work and class (now no longer contagious) and even spent a few hours in the afternoon with fellow Milo-ites going to the Mellow Mushroom and wandering around the Art District a bit.
Look! Me and a funny looking metal dog! It was a fun afternoon, though I was still incredibly tired.
Anyway, Sabbath I went to Sabbath School (and was extremely disappointed in the caliber of the lesson activity, yes, I said activity and not discussion) and church. Once again Pastor Fred had a fantastic sermon that fit exactly with a discussion Todd and I had Friday night. It's crazy how God works those things out sometimes. But anyway, after church I returned to my pajamas and was soon out of them again and into human clothes going with Amy to a potluck which was lots of fun. I spent a bit of time studying last night but more just enjoying visiting with one of my housemates, Melissa.
Now, as I said in the beginning, I sit doing something I shouldn't. Instead of writing all the above, I should have been doing my homework (especially since I have to be at work in an hour). But no... I am the queen of procrastination. But hey, somehow it all gets done. Not always without wanting to scream, but it still gets done.
On to the Ancient Art! |
