Some updates
Hello, all! Or just the one (lunawho that's you). I am listening to my Relient K Pandora station as I'm typing this, so you should be proud. Ha.
I just wanted to give some updates on my life, right now. My nephew had surgery recently in order to help determine which type of interstitial lung disease he has. As of this moment, nothing definitive has come from this pulmonary biopsy, except that they're fairly certain this is all due to inflammation and that he will outgrow the disease. They have him on oxygen at night, since that is when his blood-oxygen levels drop. They are going to wean him off it eventually, but... He still has this grunting that he does when he's breathing. He doesn't seem to notice it, but he will eventually if it doesn't go away. Because he has been in the hospital for the equivalent of one month in his ten month life, he is "behind" with his gross motor skills. He doesn't want to crawl, he just scoots and rotates his body around, whether he is sitting up or on his back. It's cute, but slightly worrisome. He has started physical therapy because of it.
This next semester at uni is going to be a doozy. I'm not even sure I'll be able to survive it. I am taking 20 credit hours, which is inadvisable, in and of itself. But in those hours are going to be some of the toughest courses I've ever encountered. Comprehensive human anatomy, biochemistry, immunology, and then there will be some courses in there to pad my GPA. Including, French grammar & composition, Dangerous Liaisons: French literature in translation, and historiography. The last is an art history class with Russo, whom I've had twice before. The first I was more excited about before I learned that they changed the curriculum to include more conversation. And the second I'm really excited about because it is going to be taught by my favourite professor Drury. I really need to get an A in all these courses to change my GPA enough to be inciting for med schools. About which I am getting increasingly nervous. Sigh.
I have started writing again, which I think I mentioned in the previous post. But I just hope that whatever I write now will match what I've written before. Hmm. Something is odd about my iPad. My language is set in British English, but it's not recognising the British spelling. I need to go fix this.
Ta!
