School is trying to kill me...

...or at least trying to make me age prematurely!! Seriously, all my tests and projects due at the same time is just too much. I kinda screwed up and wasted some time. Well I wouldn't say wasted. I had other things to get done (bills, errands, eatting, getting sick) and that put me behind schedule. So now I am a little worried!!! I gotta eat and get ready and get to Tampa ASAP!!! I over slept today and that makes it all even worse! ahh!

It's been a while

So yea, it's been forever and a day since I last wrote. School has kept me crazy busy. This weekend and upcoming week will be the worst, but hopefully after that it won't be as bad for about a week. Today I am home sick. I have a female issue and it is no fun. I do have some homework I need to get done today as well as some cleaning. I am a little frustrated right now because Abe and I got into a fight this morning and I over heard my mom talking about me being a cry baby over the phone. She said it a little nicer, and I am not fully sure that is what she said, but it is what it sounded like. I just wish I was back to normal so that I didn't have to worry about that. Abe got mad at me over nothing major because he wasn't feeling well and that made me mad. And anyone who knows me, knows that when I'm mad I cuss. Well he takes major offense to cussing at him. I don't feel like its that bad and it just gets out my anger. So I don't feel like I need to try to change, but he wants me to. I don't even know if I can, its just habit. *sigh*
Other news... Abe almost cut off the tip of his finger. He had to go to the ER and can't work for a couple weeks while it heals. Crazy. Oh, I haven't wrote about this yet, however I've known for a little while now. We found out that his mom has breast cancer. It was a shock. They did a surgery on her already and now they want her to go through chemo and radiation. She seems in high spirits about it which is great. I am honestly a little surprised that this didn't worsen her depression.
As to my surgery, I am surviving. I have had quite a few bad days. I am moderately dehydrated and I can't seem to fix it. I am eating lots of salt, or at least I feel like I am. The only other thing is maybe I'm not getting enough fluids. But if I drink more then I am too full to ever eat. It is quite a tricky situation. I go to see my surgeon tomorrow for a check up. I am scared because I know he's gonna ask if I've been taking my supplements and I don't always because sometimes they hurt my stomach. They major one that I know he is concerned about is my multivitamin that I am supposed to take 3 times a day. I am in the process of finding one that works for me. I have Flintstones chewables because they are better than what I had, but I have a hard time taking 3 of those a day. As of yesterday I have lost 38lbs in just over a month. It will start slowing down quite a bit now. In fact it has started slowing already. I'm hoping in a couple months I will feel better and can start exercising.
School is school. Lots of homework and always keeping me busy. Next week I have 3 tests and a photo project due. The photo project is about memory. I am reprinting old family pictures with a little twist. Unfortunately my mom doesn't keep negatives, so I have to pay $4 a picture to have them converted into a negative. That takes a few days to do, so I will be in the lab all weekend. *sigh*

MGB update

BTW, it has been a little over 2 weeks since I've had the surgery and I've lost 24lbs. I think I'm eating too much salt (I have to sip sip sip, and eat salt salt salt) because I believe I'm retaining fluid. But I am happy that I am on my way. I am having some problems getting down all my pills and getting in my protein, because that shit tastes nasty!!!! It makes me sick to my stomach. But i am doing great for the most part.

family

My sister and brother-in-law are coming down Sunday. It will be nice to see them. They can see me while I'm still fat, and then the next time they see me they'll be shocked at how skinny I am!

McCain's VP

So I was very suprised to learn that McCain picked a woman as his running mate. I just didn't see him being open to that. Plus she is pretty inexperienced. I think he did it to appeal to female voters and to try to gain some popularity. I am voting for Obama!

Back 2 school

So school started on Monday. Fun fun! It was a lot of work to get Abe's and my schedules to work, but they did finally. I am taking: Research Methods in Psych, Biology for non majors, Intro to Art online, and Color photography. Let me tell you, I am pretty scared of color photo. First of all, everyone in there as had way more photo classes than me and they all know each other. I am like a inexperienced loser in there. But my teacher, who was my beginning photo teacher, thinks I'll do great. I have a project I have to shoot this weekend, that I have to use 2 cameras for, so I had to borrow his. And I can't figure out how to open it to load the film! I will feel like such a lamo asking! We also are eventually going to get into digital and photoshop, so that's exciting. I am just worried that I will have the lamest photos compared to everyone else. My other classes seem cool, so harder than others. I actually have quite a bit of homework to do this weekend. So the big new is that Abe's course load and other things (CLEP and GRE tests) are a bit overwhelming and if he has any shot getting accepted into the architecture program this year he'll have to quit his job. If he does we should get more aid, so that's good. And so we are pretty much gonna do it and move to Tampa. Because the best apartments are full we may have to wait a month to get in one. Other wise we can rent a much smaller, crapper apartment for the same price or more. We pretty much have one picked and were told that we could move in at the end of Sept. Its pretty exciting. Of course we will end up being the typical poor college student. But it will be worth it.

Luckiest girl in the world

So I woke up this morning (way to early I'd like to add) to find this:

You are my blessing,
Who makes my heart sing
You are my love, my queen, and my wife.
I don’t know what I’d do, without you in my life.
I’d be sad and lonely--miserable too,
But now I’m happy and joyful, all thanks to you.
Have a great rest, to avoid feeling sleepy,
And know you are, the best thing that’s happened to me.

I love you

Abe.


Abe writes me quick poems from time to time. Isn't that so sweet!! I love my husband!
