So, I woke up Saturday with a sore throat. I didn’t sleep well the night before because I kept waking up to coughing fits and the like. So, all day Saturday, I was kind of tired and coughing. The sore throat went away with a nice peppermint.
Sunday was more of the same. I woke up with another sore throat (I guess I was sleeping with my mouth open). Another peppermint and it was gone. It was also another night of bad sleep and I was starting to get testy when it came to talking to people. I was starting to get apathetic.
Monday, I woke up without a sore throat, but I was still coughing and feeling generally miserable. By the end of the night, I felt like I was going to start crying. I took some Nyquil and went to sleep.
This morning, I woke up after not getting enough sleep enough I definitely laid down for seven hours. I called the campus clinic and they got me in super early. So, I went and they told me that I have bronchitis and I might have pneumonia, so I got a chest x-ray to see if that were the case. The doctor said he wasn’t sure and said that I needed a blood test to test for something else that turned out to be negative. He gave me a breathing test and for someone who doesn’t have asthma, I was breathing like an asthmatic. It was kinda worrisome.
He put me on some steroids and antibotics and I’m feeling better, but I’m not really breathing better. I’m kinda worried.
Anywho~! Away from that, I’ve just been kinda blah about school lately. There’s a lot going on for me and I’m not falling behind or anything. I feel pretty good about everything, I think I’m just started to get burned out on this semester. I need some time at home. I haven’t been able to go home as much since I got my job. I miss my family a lot, but I go home for springbreak next Friday, so I’m really happy about that
Well, that’s all for now!
What’s going on with you?
….is what I have to learn to be better about.
I think I’m pretty good with managing my time. I feel really bad because I haven’t had time to do my blogroll lately. I need to hop to it and get everything going a little better.
Work isn’t so bad. After the first two days, I think I’m getting into the groove of making Smoothies for hours. It’s actually pretty fun. The worst thing about it? It gets really slow at certain points… and by really slow, I mean dead. I mean, standing around for an hour doing my closing work three hours before we close.
Anyway! Away from work, I’ve also been reading the book When Jeff Comes Home. It’s actually a really sad novel targeted to YA-readers about how a teenaged boy deals with being being back home and reentering society after being kidnapped and held for two-and-a-half years by a man who abuses him physically and sexually only to take him back home when he loses interest in him sexually. I dunno why I’m reading it. It struck me as something I wanted to and I went out of my way and ordered it when my Financial Aid excess check came in.
Oh yeah! I also saw the movie Wolfman on Saturday. It wasn’t bad. There were several “BOO! Got’cha bitch!” parts throughout the movie that made me jump, but other than that, it was awesome.
I need to start reading Guilty Pleasures for my English class. Not too bad, just need to force myself to settle down and actually read it. =)
Well, that’s all for now!
What’re you currently reading?
For the first time in my life, I ‘ve SUPER busy. I haven’t been this busy since last year when I was running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off trying to get my three papers done nad studying for a Japanese test at the time. Oh and if you look at the paragraph, you can see how country I actually am.
Why am I so busy, you ask? Well, first off, I got a job. The problem with this? I said I was a little too available to work. I didn’t take into account that I’m taking a reading intensive class, a writing intensive class, and a Math class when I was filling out my application and didn’t think about my time managment and now I’m having to work Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends. I’m going to HAVE to cut back to weekends only. Of maybe cut down my hours requested from 20 to 12.
I feel super stressed because I started work the same weeks I have a lot of exams. In the next week, I have a Math exam, an Anthropology Exam, an English Exam, and I have another Educational Psychology exam coming up. Ugh!
Anyway, that’s all for no. My story’s critique didn’t go too badly. There were a few people that were kind of jerks, but nothung huge. My first day of work wasn’t bad. I made smoothies. I only really messed up once, so it w as cool.
Oh yes! Next Wednesday I get to go to a free showing of Shutter Island! I’m so excited! It’s two days before the movie hits theatres! Awesome!
Until next time!
So, Jessica is employed! I got a job last Friday at a Tropical Smoothie down the street from the mall thanks to her friend Hannah. I’m pretty excited about having a job, but I’m really nervous.
Why?
The guy who hired me told me that he only hired me because he hired my friends. I’m super nervous. I have to prove myself to that I was good to hire.
Anyway, I start Tuesday. I work Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and I’m off Sunday.
Oh yeah! Tuesday is my story’s critique. We’re going over my story “Moving Forward”. Wanna read? It’s in my Works section. 
I’ll update Tuesday night!
Well, this weekend Tennessee finally had decent snow fall. It started Friday night and continued into Saturday. Sadly, it ended Saturday and didn’t really affect my classes. 
I wish they could’ve been cancelled. It would’ve been so awesome to have had a three day weekend.
Anywho~! Here are some pictures I took from my window:
I live on the sixth floor, so I get a pretty good view. It was so pretty! I’m so sad that most of it is icky slush right now.
So! Anywho, I’m in the middle of some homework, so I’ll post again in a few days!
