My wounds are healing quite well. Progressively I've been able to eat more and more solid foods but I can still feel the soreness. I've managed to do without the painkillers. I haven't even taken an advil but really it's no big deal. Mainly it's just been the antibiotics that have gotten me thrown off. You have to eat them with some food that way it spreads throughout your system. I've done quite well taking all those on time but they make me rather sleepy. [Though thats not a side effect written on the bottle.] Aside from the soreness I'd say I managed to walk away from the surgery quite well. Today I drove to my highschool to pick up my transcripts so I could turn those into my new college. I'm hoping I'll get accepted so I can be in a more comfortable environment instead of being a minority. My other college lacked many activities anyway. I'm more of a "Go out" type person. I've never wanted to sit back and relax unless I was forced. Seeing that my college was prodominantly black there wasn't many activities I was eligible for. Like the step team, ect. I never had a desire to join a frat so that was out of question. This new college has everything you can imagine. Swimming pools, all types of atheletic arenas, courts and commons areas. I'm quite excited on the fact that I will be leasing a new apartment there. So that'll be nice to know. I guess the only challenge now is getting all my things there. Not that far away but stil... Knowing I'd have to move all this there is just one big task.
I'm going to miss some friends at my old college. I've noticed my cellphone rings non-stop but I've managed to ignore the numbers. I didn't have a desire to explain why I am leaving. It's not like I want to leave anyway but in a way I do. I can't stand being a minority and I know it's not their fault but you'd probably feel uncomfortable too being the only caucasian male in an african american community. The violence in the area is ridiculous as well. Who even wants to live in an area where you know getting robbed at the gas station is a weekly event? I grew up in the area of my new college so I'm sort of comfortable knowing that it's crime free. [Or close to it...] I guess the final plus to the whole situation is knowing my grandparents live right down the street. So if I ever needed anything I guess I could drop them a call. A lot of my family lives around that area so if I ever got bored I could pay them a visit. I'm just thankful to have this surgery behind me. The only concern I have now is... Will I have to get these stitches taken out?? Probably not but just knowing that I might have to return for another visit doesn't make me happy. Well thats all for today...
