Home

So I've been home for about a week and a day now. It's been nice to relax and sleep in (WAY in...) and to just hang out but I'm kind of ready to get to work now. I'm ready to get back on a steady schedule and I need to be waking up earlier anyways. :P But that also involves going to bed earlier which I am not so good at. Even though the time difference is only two hours, my body is having a hard time adjusting to the difference. And I've been feeling really sick too. Hopefully this will all pass soon. I'm tired of being bored. Lol. But I know that in about a month or so, I'll be thinking, "I want a break!!!" Gotta find the middle ground.

I haven't even been home that long and I kind of want to be back at school. I left lots of really good friends behind this year and I want to go back to classes (crazy, yes.) I miss the atmosphere and everything. But home is nice too.

On Sunday I got to substitute in primary and I did singing time. It was so much fun. I love those kids! They are so cute! It was just fun to be working with kids again and it was pretty good practice considering teaching will be my career for a little while. I graduate in two years, I am SOO excited. I was thinking about it the other day and I just couldn't help but be excited to start that chapter of my life even though it is two whole years away. I'm still looking forward to it. It's gonna be rough though. Definately NOT easy with my classes and all. I'll be getting into the hardcore classes for my major. I gotta kick it into high gear!

Getting Home

Getting home has been a complete nightmare. No joke. We left Thursday afternoon at about 12:30 and we were planning on driving all the way to Cheyenne. We only got to Laramie because we were driving in the middle of a snowstorm/blizzard. It was definately not fun. We tried to go all the way to Cheyenne, but they blocked the road to Cheyenne and if we wanted to go back to Rawlins we wouldn't be able to because they blocked those roads too. So pretty much we were locked in. Then today we're driving and at first it wasn't good because there was still tons of snow and tons, TONS of wind. But things cleared up and got better. So tonight we decided to stop because we were pretty tired and when we went into the Super 8 they said they couldn't give us room because of age. I was so mad considering it was almost midnight. Then we went to another hotel and it's working out pretty good. It's just been long and tiring and the weather is no bueno. We'll see how tomorrow goes because we are traveling through Tennessee where the weather has not been so great. We'll see!

Other than that me and Amanda can not wait to come home. We are so excited and keep talking about all the things we're going to do once we get there. Yay for being home with family and friends. :)

Almost There and Getting Sick Doing It

I have one week left of school and then I'm done! One week from tomorrow and I get to go home. YES! So me and Amanda are not going to Cali. That's ok though. We both decided that we would rather go home. We are both sick and tired of being sick and tired (Haha...I think I'm funny...)and so we're headed home. I'm really happy about that because I have been sick for almost 2 weeks now. I HATE the health center. It just feels like everytime I go, I have to go back again because they didn't help me the first time. Yuck. Let me give you a little history: before my surgery this past summer I would get 4-5 sinus infections a year. I was pretty much on antibiotics and steroids all year round. So I know when I have an infection. I went to the HC last monday and when I was talking to the doctor I told her my history and all and said, "I'm pretty sure it's a sinus infection or something. But I know it's not just a cold." She checked me out and said, "Get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids." That's it? That's it?!?! I was none too thrilled with this. So I left and did exactlty what she told me to and I got worse. So I went back last Thursday and saw a different doctor. I told him what happened, he looks down my throat and says, "Yep. It's an infection all right. I'll get you some antibiotics." THANK YOU!!!! I was like, why couldn't they just do that on monday? My symptoms were no different, just a little worse. Frustration....

So now I'm on meds and things are good. I'm feeling a littler bit better. I just want to be better for when we drive across the country to get home. That would be awesome.
