Past the Hump

Wowzas.

My apologies about being all down and sad last week. It was rough. Feeling a bit better. Not 100% yet, but getting there!

I've been sleeping really well, so that's kind of exciting. I am weird, so I stay up super late (because Adult Swim is just so awesome) but I sleep like a rock once I decide to rip myself away from Family Guy. Also, I'm pretty sure that I'm in love with Bob's Burgers. That family is oddly enough like my family. It kind of freaks me out. Also, I am so Tina. Does that make me a creeper? Probably.

I just completed my first graduate class. I haven't received my grade, which stresses me out. I'm such a worry wart. I'm in that awkward is it an A or A- area, so I just have to wait. I definitely have to get used to the constant class changes within grad school. My classes change every 8 weeks! Like what?! Whoa. I also need to motivate myself more in my classes. I'm just not learning anything, so I need to work on looking for other sources to challenge my academic life.

Wanna know what else is stressing me out? Fantasy Football. Seriously. Why can't my team get their act together? Come on! My team is always projected to win and then what I'm starting to call the "Kelsey Curse" happens. Hopefully this week is better because I'm playing Nathan. And I want to crush him.

OH! Also, update on my health. Because that needs to happen. My throat ulcer is almost gone! YAY!!!! And, they finally diagnosed me with Palindromic Rheumatism. It's sudden onset arthritis. Because I'm cool like that.

Let's Get Real

This week has just been incredibly rough for me. If you don't want to read my complaints, feel free to not read. I've given you a fair warning. But some of them are kind of funny, so you have that to look forward to.

So I have this really cool throat ulcer. It's making my life really exciting. Last Saturday, I actually missed class because I was in so much pain. I don't do that. I'm one of those freaks/nerds who goes to class all the time. But nope, not last week. It's slowly getting better, but still bothers me. So I feel really cool.

Also, I'm just feeling really down recently. I think I could blame it on my throat ulcer, but that's not fair to the ulcer. I mean, what?

Everyone has just been snapping at me. I say one thing and they automatically say, "No," or that I'm wrong. They say it with such an attitude. I understand if I'm wrong, but I would like to be told in a more polite way and then have them explain why. But nope, that doesn't happen. So I just slink back into my corner and stick to my own business. Also, everything I do is seen as "wrong." That bothers me. I'm trying really hard to do the best that I can, but other people seem to want to destroy me. Not cool y'all.

I'm also starting to just question a lot of things.Luckily, not my career. I'm 100% certain about that. Just some people who are supposed to have my back, don't. They are quick to disagree with me, try to prove that I'm wrong, and make me feel stupid. I know I'm not stupid, but it's really hard to think highly of yourself when people are constantly shooting you down. Makes me feel like absolute crap. I'm just tired of fighting when they aren't going to see it my way. So I'm just going to concede.

I hope next week is better.

Until next time.

Lotion, Technology, and Life

Greetings!

It's Homecoming Week!!!! It's actually been such a calm week compared to my undergrad's Homecoming. So that's been super nice. I have enjoyed not having to work 60 hours in one week, so kudos to a calm Homecoming! We had a door decorating contest yesterday. We got third. :( The Foundation and President's Office got first. Sounds fishy to me! :D

I've been trying this new lotion through BzzAgent. I got it free and it's been doing wonders on my dry skin. It's the Curel Intensive Healing Cream and it's pretty awesome!!!!!! It's taken my hands and legs (both of which look like they have never had lotion on them before) and turned them into moisturized members of society! I am a huge fan of this lotion!

Technology has been awful on campus. In the residence halls, we lose power for one second at least once a day. It is ridiculous. Our wifi on campus is awful too. It hardly works, which makes my life very difficult. Our network has been down too, which makes doing my job so hard.

Hoping the tech gets fixed.
