Worst week ever

Alright so it was not technically the worst week ever, but it was pretty bad.

Due to a series of circumstances I missed my advising meeting on Monday. I felt awful about it, and wasn't sure how our rescheduled meeting would go. Luckily it went extremely well, and Dr. Owen (my adviser) was very understanding about having to reschedule. She helped get all of my questions answered and went question by question through my entrance event with me. That was a huge relief off my chest.

On Wednesday night I got food poisoning. I woke up Thursday morning feeling awful, and it just got worse throughout the day. It was the worst I have felt in a long time - I'll spare the details. Because I wasn't able to get out of bed I ended up missing all of my classes on Thursday. This normally wouldn't be a big deal but I had two tests that day. I told my professor that I was sick and he let me know that I didn't need to come to class. I have a feeling that he didn't believe me, I wouldn't believe a student that happened to get sick the day on the test...but I was so sick I didn't even care.

I am pretty much recovered now, just feel a little weak and achy still. Today I am going to try and reorganize my room, and school work - hopefully reset myself to finish the rest of my semester strong.

Spring Break

Its already Tuesday night...and Spring Break (don't know why I feel the need to capitalize that) justs keeps slipping away. However I am thoroughly enjoying this time off from school.

I am staying in Denton due to work, but I am not being worked to the bone like I was during Christmas break. I feel very relaxed and like I am able to get my feet underneath me again. I have done lots of laundry, cleaned my room, started catching up on reading assignment, spent more time reading my Bible, and even worked out a couple of times. I feel very productive and I think that makes me less stressed. Sometimes when you go on a huge vacation you feel more stressed when you get back than before you left - glad that is not the case.

The Monday after Spring Break I have the meeting with my adviser to discuss my entrance event and lay out my degree plan. I am a little nervous about it, but am excited to see when I will be able to graduate.

LOST continues to be amazing...anyone who is not a fan should start watching it, you'll thank me (they now have all of the episodes online at abc.com)

Take time to rest and stay safe!

A blizzard? In Denton? WOAH!

Well as we all know the weather has been just a little crazy this year, but nothing compares to last week. A blizzard hit Denton, Texas. Okay not an actual blizzard, but the closest thing I have ever seen in Texas. I was going to my 12:30 class and it had been snowing for maybe 10 minutes, everyone was excited and shocked as we road the bus to class. When I got out of class at 2, inches of snow covered the ground. I got a phone call from my friend asking me if I was alright, and she told me that campus had closed.

As I was riding the bus home from campus I realized something; snow brings people together. We were all on the bus for about 45 minutes because the traffic was stopped and cars were spinning in place, but it didn't matter. Everyone was talking and excited, people were explaining what they had heard on the weather that morning, or what a relative had told them. It seemed like the first week of school again, everyone was happy and had no inhibitions. When we finally got to my complex everyone piled of the bus their hands to the heavens in disbelief. People were smiling and laughing - then the inevitable happened. A huge snowball fight broke out, with total strangers.

I left the fight to get something to eat and bundle up more. One of my roommates and I ate lunch, drank hot chocolate, and watched a movie. We later went out and played in the snow for hours.

I think UNT needed a snow storm.
