It's official

I am getting my tonsils out...I'm so freaking scared. I've never had a surgery that I can remember and the thought of getting an IV in is terrifying. It's scheduled for the very beginning of summer so I'll have a lot of time to recover. As of now I'm just on antibiotics to hopefully help my tonsils until the surgery. Definitely not what I wanted to hear from the doctors but I am happy to finally have a solution for the pain. On a brighter note, I'm back in boone! Being home for an extended period of time is a lot to handle having little sisters so I know being home for the recovery of this surgery is going to be an experience in its self.

another snow day

So I was not expecting this at all. Woke up this morning at my usual time to go to the library and work on some take home tests. Well instead I woke up to an email saying classes before 2 were canceled. Yay. I got an extension on my tests too. With all of my free time now I went to sunrise grille and got the best pancakes of my life. Red velvet with a sweet cream cheese topping. Holy moly. Already the highlight of my day. Now I need to get back on track and really start working on some homework because it is beginning to pile up and become overwhelming.

lost in the world of television

This time of year is especially exciting for television. Two of my favorite series are coming back on and I couldn't be more excited for both of them. I am, of course, speaking of the newest enstallments of Game of Thrones and House of Cards. If you haven't experienced these two shows yet, I highly recommend both. The acting is captivating, the language is beautiful and the story keeps you guessing. 

Update on my tonsils: they are currently the size of walnuts and hurt pretty badly right now. I'm going to try to head to health services when I get the chance bc they ain't feelin too hot.

Tonsils

okay so im pretty sure i need to get my tonsils removed. why why why.  last spring i had strep three times in one month and my tonsils never went back down to their normal size.  soo im sitting here in pain right now because my tonsils are acting up and hurting. i kid you not i can literally feel them in the back of my throat because they are so big. its very freaking irritating.  im hoping to go home this weekend to hit the docs office and hopefully ill be able to just get them removed eventually. yes, i know i shouldnt be sounding so excited about getting tonsils removed but i much rather have pain for a couple months from surgery than dealing with this forever. ugh.

snow day round 2

Woohoo another snow day! I really did not think I would have no classes today but what do ya know! The past 24 hours have been so so so much fun. I was hangin out with my boyfriend and his roommate, charlie, bc I got snowed in at their apartment and charlie decided to spin fire...yes I said spin fire.  As a hobby charlie spins these balls that are on fire and it is one of the coolest things to watch. We were outside of their apartment building and cars passing by stopped to take videos haha it was pretty funny. I later went inside to watch a lifetime movie on my Kindle, which was very enjoyable. Waking up to abother snowy day has filled me with so much happiness because I just love being outside in the snow. If it's cold it might as well snow too. I'm goin to walk to campus later to do some more homework! maybe I wont be the only one who decided to take the trek. We will see...

snow day

So here is my snow day post... 

It started on a great note, I had no class and no work...hollllla. I was able to go on campus and get some work done, which was really nice. My boyfriend and I went to harris teeter and stocked up on the necessities,  milk, eggs, bread, and wine. The store was packed and I got to see Caitlin in the freezer aisle. My mom was so worried she literally told me to but water bottles, flashlight, and a lighter and candles. After the store joe and I went to the animal facility on campus where he works and fed the bunnies...too cute. I hope this snow continues because I've been waiting for a real winter for a while. 

~Girl Time~

Today has been a huge improvement from yesterday.  I only had one class today so I have been able to just do work in the library and relax.  However, I was able to get lunch with my two good friends Elena and Julie.  I met the two of them over the summer at a country club we worked at.  We all hit it off immediately and have stayed friends since the summer.  I was so happy to just chill with them for a little and then we all went to the library to get some work done.  But hello does anyone know why its like 100000000000000 degrees in the library? i'm melting right now.

hahahhah i feel bad to laugh at this guy who was in the library near me but im just sitting there and all of a sudden hear this huge thud. turns out this guy leaned too far back in his seat and fell over. we made eye contact. it would have been awkward but he laughed it off.

StReSs

I have not been this stressed out in a long long time.  I have had so much going on lately and a ton of homework but of course my Internet has not been connecting at all. This made it a bit difficult to do my homework last night. Not even kidding that I am being forced to use my phone to make my blog post now. Why why why. Why must bad things happen to good people?! I missed the bus this morning too...that was my fault though. OH! And last night my fridge wasn't closed properly, so all of my food is now room temperature... ha ha ha.. 

Hopefully this week picks up because so far it is not looking promising. 

UGH, Monday

Today has been such a drab day.  I woke up not feeling too hot, so I didn't go to my first class but had to still go to work at noon.  It was only for a few hours, so I managed.  Right after, I came home, did dishes, went to charter, and started on my homework.  All was going pretty well until I realized I had an assignment I completely forgot about.  Awesome.  Guess who gets to stay up writing a paper...this girl.  So that really sucks.  

I really hope this week flies by because I am just not in the mood.  Honestly I could fast forward to Sunday because I have to work all day Saturday.  I am just so over it,

reddit

I dont know if you guys ever go on reddit, but i do. a lot. Reddit is a weir online forum thing that jut has posts about anything. there are subreddits that include topics about SLPs that have actually been really helpful. so im going to start using this whenever i type on my blog.

I really need to learn new recipes because my old ones are just not cutting it anymore. I want to find some good soups to make but the ones i have tried out have been stinkers.

anyways, so yesterday I bought myself a powerball lottery ticket because it was up to $317 million...i would love to win that. i started talking with Joe about it and what I would do if I actually did win. My life would become so much less stressful. I would finish my undergrad degree then take time off to travel. I would definitely give my parents a lot of mula because they have given me so much in my life. I would put money away for my little sisters college fund and probably just chill. Life wouldnt be a million times better but it would be so much more carefree and less stress. I really did convince myself..only if...

Annabelle

I absolutely love scary movies. I have been watching them since about the age of 5 (no joke).  My first scary movie that I can remember is A Nightmare on Elm Street.  Since I started pretty young, most movies do not scare me.  There has been the occasional movie here and there (The Ring, Strangers) that really spooks me, but I usually get over it.  However, I recently watched the movie, Annabelle.  If anyone has ever seen The Conjuring and remembers the beginning scenes with the haunted doll, this is what Annabelle is based off of.  I went into watching the movie thinking it would be a fun time but no. This was one of the most scary movies I have seen in a while.  It didn't help that I was watching with my boyfriend and he was purposely trying to scare me during the movie.  I didn't know how I was going to sleep that night being so scared but I did eventually fall asleep...no nightmares thank god.  

If anyone decides that watching this movie is a good idea then you better be ready to be scared out of your mind.  Oh, and even though it was terrifying, I thought it was executed very well.

Update on ma life

Sooooo, a lot has been going on in my life lately--hardly enough time to even write on here.  So I have worked a few shifts at my new job at basil's and I love it! it has been pretty simple so far and I don't think I have messed up too bad just yet.  haha I hope I am able to get more comfortable with it as time goes on...

Yesterday, I drove home to charlotte with my boyfriend for a superbowl party at my house.  It was a lot of fun and I definitely went into a food coma...there was a chocolate fountain *died and went to heaven* Anyways, it was really awesome seeing my friends and family even if it was just for a short amount of time.

This is a bit random but I have wanted to mention my love for the band, Kings of Leon.  They are most definitely my favorite group out there.  I have had the pleasure of seeing them twice as of now.  My first time seeing there was almost a year ago in Nashville.  It was the perfect, snowy night and I had 6th row floor seats. I actually cried I was so happy.  I know everyone says this but the lead singer honestly did look me in the eyes and smile...the guy behind me even confirmed it haha.   I saw them later in charlotte in september, but only had lawn seats...still amazing.  I would recommend everyone to go listen to them if you havent heard them. OH! and do NOT listen to use somebody. That song does not even begin to show the talent KOL has.  My personal favorites are back down south, birthday, and cold desert. Seriously listen to them. amazing, breathtaking, and relaxing does not even begin to explain KOL.
