So, a while ago, I got me one of these: http://www.underworks.com/images/997.jpg which is a double-paneled chest compression vest, and basically the most awesome, ever. So much squeeing was had when it arrived! (A day after I ordered, too, and I didn't pay for extra shipping or ( Read more... )

I just wrote and completed the rough draft of a two page French paper in two days. Whoo! It's getting close to finals time, and apparently that means SO MUCH WORK. I've had a series of terrible misfortunes over the past couple of days which are not making the workload any better ( Read more... )

It's been too long since I updated with anything inane, so I'm going to do that now. The following situation illustrates one of my biggest pet peeves ever.

I was trying to sleep last night, and I can't lay on my good ear since there's a metal bar stuck through it. There's a huge gap underneath my door and the walls seem to be very thin, so any noise ( Read more... )

I'm home on Thanksgiving break! I have an entire week off and it's going to be awesome ( Read more... )

I just got an industrial! It was incredibly painful, and felt like the sound of tearing, but it was worth it. I'm quite pleased.

I am alive! Sorry I haven't posted at all; lots of stuff has been going on. My classes are super fun, but I actually have a pretty daunting homework load if I don't constantly stay on top of it. Also, the connection in my room is amazingly shitty. I've been spending a lot of time being out and about, hanging out with my friends--I made a new one! ( Read more... )

So we took our cat, Fri, to the vet today. He's been very lethargic and losing weight and has a really nappy and dull coat. They weighed him there and he'd lost two pounds in a week, which is bad. So they drew some blood, which they had to shave his neck for, which he Did Not Like. He's the most easygoing cat ever, but he flipped out. So they put ( Read more... )

So, as some of you may know, there is a dude I am interested in here. He lives in my hall and he seems really cool. Not only is he devastatingly cute, he's also really nice. Every time I see him, he seems excited to see me.

However, there is a problem. I feel like we'd really hit it off if we managed to sit down for five or ten minutes and talk, but ( Read more... )

So, yesterday I moved into my college dorm. Whoo! Today is finally drawing to a close, and while I probably should be at this house social thing, I'm...not. I was late and couldn't figure out where it was and ANYWAY

Moving in was difficult. I live in Ghetto Hall, basically. It has no air conditioning, tiled rooms--my friend has both AC and carpet-- ( Read more... )

So I just underwent a transcanal tympanoplasty in my left ear. For those of you who aren't doctors, that means they went in, peeled back part of my eardrum, took a tissue graft from behind my ear, and stuck the graft behind my eardrum with some surgical packing foam. I now have a giant plastic cup velcroed to my head with gauze underneath it. I can ( Read more... )
