Because I had yet ANOTHER frigging seizure (thank God my neurologist is jumping on this so hard and so fast so it can be dealt with before I move -- I cannot overstate my love for this woman), I figure I could use a perk-me up. Thusly, I'm stealing scribble_myname's heretofore dubbed "Few Of My Favourite Things" meme.

It's better than cranking the Backstreet Boys ( Read more... )

I HAVE RETURNED.
Quebec was very, very good to me. I come back to you much more french than I left and with a lot of great experiences under my belt.

The shittiest part was the fact that I had two all-out tonic clonic (read: grand mal) seizures while I was there. No pity parties, please, and no condolences. It sucks, but I'm dealing, and I have an ( Read more... )

Ganked from luciademedici , because it feels appropriate to be thoughtful and reflective right about now. No other reason, really.

The typical fixings of a doctor's office are there -- an examination table, a desk and computer, drawers, a counter, a sink. They ( Read more... )

So, what's good right now?

There are bunnies in my yard. BABY BUNNIES. It's the most adorable thing ever. On top of that, my summer class isn't as bad as I thought it would be -- no homework thus far, and the papers don't have to be written until July 25th and August 8th respectively. Note that the class itself ends on the 18th of July. Win? Yes.

The date is currently, for the record, June 9th, 2008.

My last seizure was January 9th, 2008.

This means that as of today, the following is true:
1) I am five months seizure free.
2) There is exactly one month from now until the point where I will be allowed to drive again.
3) I am very pleased about this. I've been such a good girl these past five ( Read more... )

From a  student with potential to a liability.

Yessir, folks. Epilepsy strikes again.

On another note, why is it that the last three hundred words of a paper are always the hardest to write?
