Lovely Little Pills

After months of intense stomach pain, and I'm not talking a little pain...I mean "my-tummy-hurts-so-bad-I-can't-move-at-all" kind of pain, I found out that I am lactose intolerant. What a silly thing. At first, I was really sad. I love cheese. a lot. But then I got some of these lovely lactaid pills. Now I can eat cheese! :] Taking three of these things before I eat any dairy product is a little on the annoying side, but it's a small price to pay to eat cheese. :]

A Little Late...

Just for fun...

For Valentine's Day, our floor put together these bags to collect valentines and other treats. :] Everyone made a bag and we stapled them to the board in our hall. It was pretty fun. It reminded me of being in elementary school and having Valentine's Day parties.

I don't really have anything else to say. I'm doing OK in school, classes are a bit harder this semester but I'm managing.

Oh, and look at my fish! They're pretty! :]

I am a MESS

Can someone explain to me how you forget that you have class at one instead of two?
I got home from my 10 o'clock class, at 11, thinking that I had three hours before my next class, only to realize, as I was walking to class at 1:45, that my class was at one! Oh gosh, I am a mess. We've been in school for weeks and I still can't remember my schedule?

Mess.

Happy freaking Valentine's Day, everyone.

It's all Fun and Games Until...

Someone steals your monkey.

Poor Charlie.

He was kidnapped by Lynette, and is being held hostage.

Sleepover!

So, when trying to come up with something fun to do this weekend we decided to have a sleepover. It was a lot of fun!

First, we moved my bed. (well, my mattress)

We went into my room....


And moved my mattress into the hall...


Then into Ashley and Lynette's room...



We spent a considerable amount of time jumping on the bed...


Then I made my bed...

We spent the night watching Sweeney Todd (Love Musicals!) and talking. It was a lot of fun.

On Thursday Ashley, Lynette, and I donated blood. I was really proud of myself because I tried something different and did something I was scared to do. I didn’t think it would affect me at all but I was wrong. I was feeling really good because first of all, the needle didn’t hurt like I thought it would. Before she stuck me I asked if it would hurt and she said it would pinch and sting a little, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Also, I could actually look at it after she stuck me and wasn’t grossed out. Haha. Then after I was done, I was feeling fine. About twenty minutes later I started to feel light headed and queasy. I could hear buzzing in my ear too, and one of the technicians said I was probably about to pass out. Thank goodness I didn’t! I had to lie down for a few minutes until I felt better. My friend Ashley had a worse time though. She did pass out. It was really scary! The funny part is that Lynette, the one who is scared of needles and who was really scared to do this, didn’t have any side effects at all! Not to mention, she decided she would come with only hours before we went! How cruel! Haha. But, Ashley and I decided that it was worth it because we might have saved someone’s life by giving blood that day. :)

Lynette didn't want to be in the picture...(party pooper)

Reading...

I read all the Harry Potter books over my break.



What an adventure. I can't believe how much I had forgotten. I guess I just flew through them so I could get to the end and find out what happened and in the process I didn't retain much. Haha. Loooooooved reading them again though. Book 6 and 7 are my favorites.

Next, I'm going to read City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. It was recommended to me by a friend, and I was told it was really good. I'm excited to read it.
