I guess it is about time to do a little update on this thing. It's been a crazy year and an even crazier past month. About three weeks ago I fell ill and just started to feel better this past weekend. There was a good long period where I felt like I may never get better. But I did. Just in time I think too, because I almost had to drop out of all my classes for the semester. The thought of having to go back to school an extra semester next fall, or worse spring of '08 as well, was scaring the crap out of me. I feel good now though that I should be able to make up the two and a half weeks of actual classes I missed. I just have to cross my fingers and hope I have some understanding professors and no dinks. I talked to one of them today, he actually teaches two of my classes, so I got those two out of the way and just have to worry about my other three classes and professors. Being sick sucks! Being sick for three weeks sucks even more!!! However, I do believe I have gotten stronger both physically and especially mentally after this ordeal. There's something about feeling like you could be on your way out that makes you take a few steps back and analyze your life, who you have become, where you want to go from here, etc. I can confidently say that I am wiser, stronger, much better person than I have ever been. I look forward to what the future will bring me.
On a more fun note, it's Halloween! I was Mammogram-Man this year when I went to Dave and Andy's Halloween party, which was a whole hell of a lot of fun!! It was also cool after when I left the Portland area around 1:25am and arrived in Manchester, NH around 1:55am, even after getting pulled over by a NH Statey!!! 90 miles in a half hour!! Of course I had a little help from the end of Daylight savings time.
Now it's time to gain back some of that weight I lost while being sick! Hopefully it will be in the form of muscle and not that evil stuff that rhymes with Cat!
Here's to the future! Onward!
