So, I'm feeling bored and kind of..dunno
Well, a lot has been going on this summer.
I'm back in Ithaca now, moved into an apartment with my best friends from Freshman year. It will prove to be an interesting semester, that is for sure. Simon came with me and Satchi is having a severe attack of separation anxiety... All of her fur is falling out, she has developed a ton of hot spots, she won't sleep. My poor baby is having such a hard time with me leaving back to school and taking her friend Simon with me, too. T__T Dr. Hall, our vet, has her on a sleeping pill and an anti-depressant for dogs, now, to try and help her. I feel so awful that she's so upset and I miss her a lot.
Work has finally paid me in full. I was fighting with them all summer because they kept putting off an delaying my paychecks until finally they owed me this huge amount of money. I only made minimum wage, I don't know why it was so hard for them to just pay me, but it's fine now. They've given me (er, gave my dad) my last check and he'll be depositing it into my bank account. So yeah. That's good. Because I need to be able to buy groceries and books. You know, important school things. -____-;
I wish I could say that I'm fully recovered from my gallbladder surgery, but that's not the case... I've developed some dietary restrictions after a few recent incidents where I thought my insides were gonna kill me after I ate specific things. So now, thank you gallbladder, I am no longer allowed to have anything that is high in fat or any dairy. SAD. SAD DAY. Anything that has milk or dairy in it has begun to severely upset my stomach and digestive track. I had a bowl of cereal with milk the first week I was here and a few hours later, while in Target, I had an attack of abdominal pain so severe it felt like when I went to the hospital for gallstones in the first place. I had to sit on the floor for a while, waiting for the pain to pass and at one point it was so bad that I honestly thought about saying to my friends "please take me to the hospital." It hurt that badly. I have a high pain tolerance, so for me to even consider needing a hospital simply for pain is crazy. I mean, think about it - when I had the gallstones (though I didn't know that's what it was) I still was refusing to go to the ER until my mom finally just drove me there. -__-;
So.. Yeah. I can't have cheese, milk, or anything that contains dairy. Specifically milk really upsets my body for some reason. I've switched to almond milk, which has much less fat content than milk, no dairy or lactose, etc, and has more calcium. Since I've been drinking that and not milk I've not had an upset like the one that struck me in Target. I hope to avoid those at all costs. That kind of pain is... nearly unbearable. And yet, my roommates keep having things like cheesecake. T___T Sad. I have to just leave the kitchen when they have stuff like that or I want to eat it too. And cheesecake would be all kinds of pain for me. Allll kinds of pain. Low fat/skim cheese I can kind of handle, but I think I've recently allowed myself to have too much, because of a headache I have and the weird upset feeling I have in my stomach. u_u
Otakon 2012 came and went. It was a good time, as always, and I really enjoyed myself. My huge cosplay endeavor was a great success and even though we didn't win anything in the cosplay contest we had a lot of cosplayers telling us that they think we did a great job. We even had one of the winning Sakura (TBC) cosplayers tell us that she thought we were the best Magic Knight Rayearth cosplayers she'd ever seen, which was a huge compliment! ^___^ I did get heat exhaustion on Friday while in the photo suite. It was a combination of being stupid (not drinking enough/not eating), my layers of clothing (skirts, capes, corset), and the drastic temperature change from the con to the photo suite. It was scary - I nearly fainted and they called first aid, security had to come and question me... it was an ordeal. I got lectured about eating more. After I could walk and leave to go back to the hotel I immediately changed and went out to the AVEN meet up! I am such a smart cookie. XD
The rave was fun, but I mostly ended up on the edges since none of my friends went with me, so I was basically alone and without a protective circle. So I enjoyed the music from the front edges. Saturday after the rave while wandering around provided me with a shock that had me in panic attack mode. But it's a story that's too complicated for the internet (now that's GOT to be a first). The whole thing makes me pretty sad, really. Friends tell me to just let it go, don't get back into it, etc., But it's hard to take that advice when a) I can't seem to let it go and stop thinking about it but also b) it seems that life doesn't want me to forget it, because I keep seeing/hearing/getting things that remind me oh yeah, that's still something I need to sort out.
*SIGH*
Life, why you so complicated? V.V
It's taken me quite a while to write out this whole thing, since I'm going back and forth between a few things. I don't expect LJ to get updated too frequently, though I check my messages everyday, even if I hardly ever update. I'm taking 18 credits this semester, I'm working on the IC Social Media Team, and I might(?) be working as a tutor for Logic. So... it'll be a busy semester, to say the least. >_< I have Printmaking, Writing Children's Lit, World Lit, Metaphysics, Deaf Culture, and a Dystopia group independent study. Aiyah, why do I do this to myself!?
I suppose I ought to learn as much as I can before I graduate (NEXT MAY. HO CRAP).
Until next time... whenever that may be.
