Ok, so I haven't posted in forever. But that's ok, since I'm pretty sure only Tee and Mia check this, and they probably haven't in forever. So it's all good.
Anyways, I'm back at school, have been for a few weeks now. Classes are crazy, I'm always drowning in work. But at least Jackii is in the same major and we have 3 of the same classes, so someone else in the room shares my pain. This semester I'm taking Calc III, Physics II, Mechanics (which is a statics and dynamics course, whatever that means...), and Anatomy and Physiology I. I really like A&P, I got my first big test grade back today (it was a 93. Yay for me!). But life has been pretty stressful. I've had a sore throat since the second I got back to Boston, which is completely no fun in the slightest. Mia came the first weekend I was here, which was super nice. We had to go home to bury grandpa in the new family plot up at the farm. The plot is really nice, I think Grandma did a really nice job picking out the stone. Mia and I had some much needed sister bonding time during the drive back, and I dyed her hair in my dorm room. I thought it came out nice, but I never heard if John liked it or not!
So today the school was providing flu shots to anyone on campus for $20, which I totally got because I'm freaking out about the flu. Jackii and I both get sick really easily, even though Jackii normally ends up in the hospital. This flu shot was just the seasonal one, but I'm really hoping the school provides us with the H1N1 vaccine when it comes out. One of my friends has a confirmed case of "the swine," as I like to refer to it. And it turns out that when you have it, you're normally contagious for a few days before you show symptoms. I don't have time to get sick. Normally if you have the swine, the school tries to make you go home. But she's from Texas, so she is confined to her room. She keeps asking me to come by because she's so bored, but I really can't compromise my health right now. I'm hoping she gets better soon because she keeps talking about how she's going to come back to class tomorrow. But I know that you're still contagious for at least 5 to 7 days, and she's DEFINITELY still contagious. AHHHHHHH. I really don't want the swine!
