(no subject)
ok ok so i NEVER update anymore. ive been really busy lately. things are going pretty good though i guess. i no longer am working which is nice, my last day was last friday. it was sweet cos they threw me a little french soiree and it was cute. they had pictures of the eiffel tower and arc de triomphe and stuff. and we had croissants and beignets. i love me some beignets!
school is now officially over except for exams, which i only have two for. well two and one oral and then another take home, so those dont really count. i cant wait to be completely done. these are the last exams ill ever have to take at tcu, hopefully. unless god decides to punish me.
i finally got my visa in the mail last week as well. that was a big relief. now im all ready to go to france for 6 whole months! its gonna be fun. im getting really excited, whereas i thought by now id only be more nervous. i got my train tickets in the mail too which made me happy.
im really gonna miss my friends, sadly. there are all these little moments where im alone and i start thinking about one of them and how theyre not gonna be around for awhile and it makes me sad. i know that some of them will come to visit and others ill talk to by phone and/or email, but still. its not the same. i hope i can make some friends over there.
ive debated whether or not to write about this because i dont want to make it a big deal and i dont want everyone feeling sorry for me, but i think itll be good to get it out there, and this is my journal afterall. so heres the deal...i went to the doctor on monday to get the results for my labwork and she was a little (not a lot) alarmed by my prolactin levels...its a hormone that comes from the pituitary gland, which is at the base of the brain. anyway, i now i have to go see and endocrinologist to get an MRI because one of the causes of this can be a tumor that grows on the gland, which would possibly involve surgery to remove, depending on its size and if its growing of course. its not an immediate danger to me, but the doctor said if just left alone and it was a tumor eventually it could cause blindness if it grew big enough to interfere with some of the neural pathways and such. anyway...thats the scoop there.
in other news...syriana comes out this weekend which im THRILLED about...i love this time of year with a new movie to see every week. its great.
ok im gonna go try to preoccupy myself with something fun...wish me luck!
