Summer School

Move was successful. I'm not back at school preparing for another semester to start. Today I went out and bought my books, which I'll start reading as soon as I finish 'Oryx and Crake'. I'm not too excited for all of them, but I hope they all aren't too painful to get through. I also went dress shopping with Heather and she found a really cute summer dress and beautiful necklace. My new roommate and I seem to be getting along well. Today was the first time we had a real conversation, and she seems really nice. Jenn is still here too but my other roommate from last year moved out. Anyways, I have lots of reading to do before school starts! Night night!

Excuse The Extreme Lack Of Updates!

I'm back! lol. Almost fully! But not quite! Recovery has been painful, boring, tiring and aggravating. The lack of decent pain medication was upsetting, although I understand that it had to be liquid and that does limit my choices... but the morphine was so great that I wish I could have kept that up a little longer! The other stuff the gave me made me very sick and I woke up every hour or two the first night to throw up... which is traumatizing when you can't open your mouth. No need for details there though! Anyways, I survived my first week (minus the severe weight loss - probably at least 20 pounds - which made me sickly thin). It's been getting better since then... especially with all the ice cream! Two weeks in I discovered I could eat cake (although at a rediculously slow pace)... so I'm getting back to my normal weight slowly. When my friends came to see me and bring me green tea ice cream (LOVE YOU!) they totally noticed how skinny I was.... and how chubby my cheeks were. Fortunately the swelling is going down some more and I look almost normal. My mom says that my new chin makes me eyes look extra big, which is a little creepy...

Anyways, before the surgery, I got a new laptop, which I totally love! I also finished reading Jane Eyre and Little Women. I also read a biography on Kurt Cobain which was really interesting. During recovery I reread Le petit prince and I'm almost done Madame Bovary. I recently bought Oryx and Crake and I can't wait to read it! You'd be surprised how little reading I've been able to do this summer... surgery just made me want to sleep all the time and I couldn't keep my eyes open. But now I can leave the house (if only for a few hours) and have fun!

This week I went to Alice's convocation because she had an extra ticket. It was a really nice and perfect sunny day... and the ceremony wasn't nearly as dull as I had expected! BONUS! lol. I videotapped some parts for her and then we went on a major picture taking spree. lol. :) Then on Wednesday I visited my old work to buy plants for my apartment. It was awesome seeing my old coworkers and gossiping with them! I really miss work!! Staying at home is super boring and so not my style! It's aggravating that I'm not aloud to do things and go places even though I realize that I don't have the strength to do them no matter how much I want to.
