Today was quite a stressful one. I had physics at 8, and then I had to head over to the Student Health Center to get some blood drawn for my accutane treatment that I'll hopefully start in about a week. I am not good with needles and blood, (blah!) and that is one reason why I simply cannot be a doctor. Anyways, I got really light headed and sort of fainted while she was drawing my blood. Not good. I broke into this cold sweat and heard like a static TV in my ears. Fortunately, she drew enough blood so I didn't have to do it again, but I did miss philosophy, and I was super pissed off that I'm too pussy to handle a simple blood draw! I think some people just suck at things like that, and I'm one of them. My mom gives blood all the time, but my dad is sort of like me, in that he's not that good with needles and such. Either way, that was not a good way to start the day. Plus, I had to 'fast' before doing the blood test, so I hadn't eaten for about 14 hours before breakfast. When you are a psycho runner/eater like me, that's a long time. :-( Next I had literature. I really like my professor, Dr. Su. However, that class will be more reading intensive and more challenging than I expected. Finally, I had a calc quiz that was SO super easy that I screwed up. I got the right answer, but I said y=1 instead of z=1. Argh! I hope they aren't too picky. My problem is that by 1pm when Calculus rolls around, I can't even focus. I broke down when I got back to my room and cried a little bit because I was really feeling overwhelmed. I needed to get out a few tears before practice. Practice went pretty well, considering all things. I averaged 5:38 for my 4 mile repeats, so I'm going to say that's pretty good for one of the first workout's of the year. Micheala had an awesome workout... I'm so proud of her! She's in great shape. I'm really excited to see what we can do this year. Anyways, after talking seriously with mom and my Kristin, I have decided to drop phil 50. I don't think I can handle 18 credits. It's just too much. I don't get done with hard practices until almost 6, and then it's 7 before I can even start homework. I think it's the best solution for me.
Wow, I'm sick of talking about myself. The family is doing well. Grandma and grandpa are putting their house up for sale and going to stay in Florida. That's a huge relief. Tommy and Kelly both hate high school, but who can blame them? Poor souls. Time for bed for me, though. I must rest. It's been a very long day.
