Week 1: I got the stomach flu the Sunday I had to come back to school. It was just a 24 hour bug....but it was rough on my stomach. Tuesday night I woke up and it felt like someone was stabbing me in the stomach but after 2 hours, I finally just fell asleep. When I woke up, the pain was gone and didn't return until Thursday. Thursday after my classes I went to an Emergicare up the street from my dorm. After getting poked in the arm 4 times with a needle because of dehydration, they were a little concerned by my blood count that I had an appendicitis. It was pretty scary, I will admit. They sent me to the hospital to get a CAT scan done. After 3 hours in the hospital with Emily (my roommate), who made it rather entertaining besides the pain, they told me I had a kidney stone. Wow. A kidney. Now I take cranberry pills to help with that wonderfulness and I have to see a doctor about it when I get home just to be safe. To say the least, it was a REALLY long week. I honestly don't remember much of it besides being in pain. I did end the week with the wonderful Hannah Bennett who I got to visit in Kentucky. It was a wonderful long weekend of fun!
Week 2: This week was really like my first week of classes, at least the first week when I was actually aware of life and professors. Nothing special happened. I just got back into my routine and did really well at reading my Bible everyday which has been such a blessing in my life. I've grown so much because of it. AND, on Saturday......I got my cartilage pierced!! It was pretty epic I must say! :)
Week 3: Honestly, this has been a long week. And it's only Wednesday. I had so much work to do and I spent all of Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday doing it all. But everyday I ended the day feeling like I got nothing done. It was really discouraging. Sometimes I'm not sure if I am supposed to be here. Sometimes I wonder if God has something far greater in store for my life that I could be doing right now instead of taking classes that feel like a waste of my life. I'm just trusting right now that God has me in the right place doing the right thing.
I am so excited for what God has in store for the rest of the semester! I'm really excited to just live life and live it to the fullest. There is so much worrying that I could be doing, but I really want to focus on growing and being me, and not letting anyone change that. I guess that's all for now.
LOVE.
