Weekend of Solitude

Being back at school means A LOT of alone time for me, especially on the weekends. My roomie goes home every weekend, and this one was no exception. So, I knew I had the whole weekend to myself. I knew I had the room to myself (which can be pretty nice at times), but I also knew that I was stuck here with no one to talk to, no one to see, no where to go. Yeah. It is nice at times, but it gets old too. I was so used to being around people the past 6 weeks. Even if it was just my dad or my grandparents, someone was always around. I always had someone to talk to or to entertain me or the ability to go somewhere. I do not have that here. It is definitely an adjustment. The good news (if you can call it good) is that I have tons and tons of homework. So, my lonliness is not too overwhelming. I have plenty of 'distractions.' It is a little sad that I have been spending Friday and Saturday nights in my room making anatomy flash cards, doing spanish homework, doing algebra problems and reading for history and english. Man, I lead such an exciting life. I did go out for a nice walk today. I enjoyed the fresh air. Which made me think about my feelings towards the different seasons. I have always loved winter. I get so excited once it starts getting cold. The main reason for this... I really, really like to wear sweatshirts and be all bundled up! I don't know why, but I do. However, this past week it has been 75 and sunny everyday! It has been beautiful and when I finally made myself get out in the fresh air, I was pleasently surprised. I am so excited for spring and summer! I missed my flip-flops, shorts and tshirts so much! Man, I can't wait! :)

In my breaks from studying I have been watching season one of friends. Regardless of my mood, I always laugh at this show. I'll never get sick of it! I have also been playing the new Fray cd quite a bit. I like it. Good stuff. 

My first cadaver lab is wednesday. I am really excited. The fact that I will be cutting into what was once a living, breathing, feeling human being is a bit strange, but I am assured that it isn't as weird once you start. Either way, I am really looking forward to it. I am sure there will be a post about it Wednesday night!

On a less positive note, my migraines and back problems are back in full force! I attribute this to a lot of stress and very little sleep. I really hate it. Blah. If you knew me senior year you probably witnessed just how bad my back can get. I am at the point where I can't move. I am stiff and I look retarded... good thing I don't leave my room! ha. I just want to stop hurting. Ugh. ha. We will see. 

Spring break is rapidly approaching. I booked my flight today! Woop! I can't wait! Rochelle's wedding and my baptism! It is going to be a wonderful break!! :) Plus, I can't wait to get home!! 

Oh, I almost forgot! Taylor is coming to OBU to stay with me Friday night! YAY!!! I am so excited to see her, even if only for one night! I am looking forward to it so much. :)

That is also valentine's weekend. I usually don't get sad/depressed/angry/emotional/stressed/annoyed on this day, but my roommate does. She will come back to OBU sometime saturday and I promised to spend the day with her watching chick-flicks and eating junk food and complaining about how dumb guys are. I think it will be fun. Ha. It will be weird considering I am pretty unaffected by this day, and I really don't have any complaints against the male gender, but that doesn't mean I can't have fun. My roommate will probably cry a lot, but I can handle it I think. We are pretty good friends and I am actually looking forward to spending a Saturday with her! Ha. Should be interesting. 

Oh yes, and I really wish I was artsy/creative. I mean really. Whether this was dance, music, painting/drawing, I don't care. I just wish I had these kind of skills. :/ Oh well... it's cool I suppose.
