Sick

Being sick in college sucks.  There is no mom to give you tea all the time, no abundance of veggies forced upon you, no comfortable place to just lie down and wait it all out.  That being said, it really does force you to take care of yourself.  You can go out and no one will be upset with you, but you will feel the consequences very soon.  I have learned this firsthand.  Well, I actually knew it before, but I made a choice and am feeling the after-effect right now.  And I can't complain; I'm glad I made the choice I did.  I had a great time, and wouldn't redo it even if it made me feel better today.  Lesson learned?  You can make silly choices, just don't be surprised with the results!

Chocolate Tuesdays

I have deemed Tuesdays "chocolate days."  For me, Tuesday is the awful day of my college week.  I have 10 minutes to eat my lunch and I have four classes almost back to back.  Now, some college students may have this problem every day, and I feel extremely sorry for their brains that must take in and process so much; I, however, usually have a wonderful schedule, so Tuesdays are just the spot of laundry detergent in my otherwise pristine shirt.  This calls for chocolate!

I have found one bar (eaten today) that was especially delicious.  It was Dagoba Beaucoup Berries chocolate.  May I just say, that mix of dark chocolate, cranberries, cherries and vanilla made my day bearable.

So.  If you're having a bad day, just eat chocolate.  Do it.

Pain and Fainting

Hello all! I don't know if all means one, or many, or just me, so I shall call you "all."

Today is the fifth Monday of my Freshman year at Colorado State University and it is a hectic day.  My roommate and I were woken up by the cleaning people for our bathroom (yes, we are spoiled and have our own bathroom) and we both proceeded to get on with our day in the least grump-like manner.  

I recently started working at a lab on campus and was required to get a tb skin test.  I just came back from the clinic...and almost fainted!  Needless to say, I do not do well with shots.  Especially shots that are quite painful and produce little bubbles on arms!  So hopefully, in two days, I will go back and they will tell me, "Congratulations! You are perfectly healthy!"  Quite a ruckus considering I think I'd be aware if I had tuberculosis. 

Well, all.  That is it for my first entry.  I have class!
