Productive

That is what today was. I actually returned something that has been sitting here for over a month that I just haven't done. You know how that goes. I have almost all of my paper done. All I need to do is write the abstract, the conclusion, and then tweak it. My best friend Ruthie is an English major and I asked her to look over it. I got all my laundry done, finished up some other homework, and finished my novel! Now I just need to wait another year for the second one to come out. So I really can't complain about today. Next week I have to write another paper, finish up a project that's due wed., and something else I am forgetting. Oh over the weekend I have to write yet another paper. I swear that's all Marion is. Papers and reading.

MCHD

The health department here in Marion County has my thanks! They have a doctors office that serves people under 26 years old, and you are able to go there for pretty much anything. It only costs $10!! This covers labs and most other tests as well. I couldn't believe it. I was so appreciative to them and the doctor that saw me was wonderful. It was the best doctors visit of my life if you can believe it. She cared about the whole person and really wanted to get to know me. She was with me for about an hour! Can you believe it? I sure couldn't. How about I ask everyone to share a doctors visit story. It can be funny, scary, etc...whatever you want to share. This could be amusing :-)

This Stinks :-(

Being on your own is the worst thing in the world when you are sick. Yesterday I thought it was a fluke thing, maybe something I ate, and this morning is telling me no. I have a bug of some kind. The one way I can tell is when I want chicken noodle soup and ginger ale. I never want ginger ale when I am not sick. So in order to have those things that bring comfort I have to go out and get them. Which is where the being on your own stinks comes in. Back home someone else would be more than willing to get it for me and vis versa. It's just something you do for family. Well I am going to go work on my paper and hopefully muster up the energy to go to the store.

Everyone say it with me...

Kristin is stressed! But what's new right? Lol. I have 3 papers, a project, and an exam all within the next 2 weeks. That doesn't include the reading and journals that are due every week. Oh and trying to have a life outside of school. Can't forget that! Marian is not big on homework, but they love papers and they are always due the same week as everyone else. I swear they must plot this before the semester starts. I invited my parents down on Nov. 4th to visit because the next time I will be able to get home will be for Thanksgiving. Yay!! I love the holidays and can't wait. I particularly love Lent because Easter follows, and Easter will always be so special. Although, I am not looking forward to the cold weather. One more thing I need to ask before going is does everyone drink coffee that reads my blog? If not you are really missing out! I am sitting here thoroughly enjoying my cup :-) I wish I was a morning person and could wake up really early so I could take my good old sweet time drinking it.

I need ideas for new titles.

I am running out of titles for my posts! Lol. Well so far I am doing well here at Marian. My grades are great which is a huge relief! I have 1 A that I know of maybe 2 and 1 B which happens to be in my science class. Now that was something I was really really stressed about. It is only by the grace of God that I am doing so well. I am realizing I can do nothing on my own. I want to become totally dependent on God for everything. I have really struggled recently spiritually and with the prayers and encouragement of close friends I am much better. Ok, I am going to go now. I need to get some sleep!

Christmas Song

I have been listening to a radio station that is playing nothing but Christmas music for 93 days. This morning a song came on that I have heard many times and never gave much thought to it. I am not sure if it's the title or just a line in the song but it says "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus last night." If you think about it that's terrible, because the child has no clue it's his father! So he is going to think that he saw his mommy kissing someone other than his dad when really he didn't. Interesting.

Fall Break

Well this weekend has been a busy one. One of my best friends flew in for 3 days and she leaves early Tuesday morning. We so far have gone to Ohio to visit the family, gone out to dinner, and hung out with Ruthie. Lots of driving has gone on! I am not sure what's on the agenda for tomorrow.
Last night we went to my old church for a worship/prayer thing they were having, and it was really good. I, for the first time in a while, talked to God. I think I have realized that in all the hurt I have experienced I didn't know I was mad at Him. So I am trying to deal with that, and it was nice to talk openly with Him. I feel like I have so much to work on and I am trying to not get discouraged. I need to deal with one thing at a time, but it's hard right now. I will write more later, but I should be going to bed. God bless...

It's Soo Cold!

I don't think I am going to survive this winter. It's 56 degrees outside and I am aching I am so cold! I went the whole summer wearing sweaters if that gives you any idea :-) It's rather funny because people think I want to hide myself, and that is not the case. I am just frozen most of the time. I need to go out and invest in some heavier sweaters and cardigans.

Fresh Air!!!

Those of you who know me know how much I love fresh air! I am not accustomed to air conditioning, so when I got to campus and found out my room had a unit I thought I could live with it. I was sooo wrong! The past week and half I begged maintenance to take it out and a gentlemen came out this afternoon and removed it :-) Yay! I was so motivated by the fresh air that I attacked my room. I cleaned, took out my trash, and moved my furniture around for the 3rd time. It is so bright and fresh in here that I am starting to like my room. For me to like a space I have to make it my own. It has to be me or I dread being there. Well I guess I should go to work and be bored. Tuesday nights are uneventful in the library.

Men

I realized tonight that I am mad at the world. Particularly men. I feel like I can't go into great detail, but I am rather frustrated with 2 that are in my life. Oh how I wish I could express exactly how I feel right now. But I will spare everyone from having to read it.

Life

Life is going well. I am in the middle of mid-terms right now, which is exciting. I can't believe we are half way through the semester. I am home for the weekend right now, and will be heading back to Indy tonight. It's been a good weekend. I had a wedding to go to last night, and today I have my parish picnic. So it's been full, but good :-) Next weekend one of my best friends is flying in for fall break!! I haven't seen her in 2 years, which is way too long. I will try to write more in the future now that I am a bit more settled.
