I haven't posted an actual summary of life in a while.

Warning: I'm quite sick so my thoughts are going to be a little jumbled.

Last week: was sooo wonderful. :) I spent monday in D.C. with my two "older brothers/watchdogs." Tuesday was declared a snow day, or at least the only class I had for the day was cancelled. Wednesday was the only normal day of classes. Thursday I only had theology. Friday was Faith & Reason day, which meant more time for studying! Yay! :P :) It really was nice though. :) Rehearsals for Charlie Brown are coming along quite nicely. I'm super excited for the show. :) Although I'm having a hard time trying to decide whether I want Lucy to be from New Jersey or Russia. ;) :) Fun times, fun times. :) Also, I was able to go dancing tuesday and thursday night. I seriously had more fun dancing than I ever have, which is saying a lot. My teacher was very patient, and I was eventually able to conquer ariels! So much fun. :)

Saturday: the excitement begins. Sadie Hawkins Dance Day! I wake up at 4:00am with a fever, a completely achey/cramped body, a migraine that inhibits my vision, and a throat so parched I couldn't speak. I forced myself to go back to sleep, only to wake up again at 5:30. I then woke up again 6:15, 7:30, and finally 8:15. I managed to drag myself out of bed and force down a bowl of fruit as dear Claire sat with me for moral support. I went back to bed and had a similar sleeping pattern until 1:15 at which point my fever was gone, however it was replaced with a horrendous migraine unlike any I have ever had, which is saying a lot. In tears I asked my dear friend Hannah Farver to come and help. She did so willing, and I was able to calm down and get in 45 more minutes of sleep. The rest of the day was spent in a daze. I was able to look half way decent for the dance. I enjoyed myself at dinner, but after an hour I felt so sick I needed to go back to campus. Luckily, some friends of mine were kind enough to do so. Once I got back I tried to watch a disney movie with a friend but I couldn't make it, so I just fell asleep instead (I was asleep by 8:50).

I was pretty dead by this point. But Claire looks lovely. <3

Sunday: I woke up at 4... again. :P However, I took a melatonin, which is a homeopathic sleep remedy thing, courtesy of Hannah Farver and was able to sleep till 9:40. The plan was to leave for church by 9:45. :P Luckily, this wasn't the first time I had woken up on a sunday morning with five minutes to go so I was able to make it out to the cars by 9:45. Once I was out there I was seriously advised by all my friends to say on campus. Apparently I didn't look so great. :P :) So I did. I ended up alternating between studying and lying down. My migraine was reduced to a headache, praise the Lord. :) That's another thing. I guess I can talk about that later, but I continue to be in awe of how incredible the Lord is and how amazing his love is for me. I will never ever ever tire of reading Psalm 77. :) Sunday night I was in bed by 9, up at 11, and then asleep by 12. :)

Half the group. Yeah.... I'm not sure whether I love Alan, Andrew, or Gregg more. :)

MONDAY: hehe :) monday is monday is monday. Woke up at 4:45 this time! hooray. :) and then was able to sleep till 7:15. My headache was gone for the most part and the only thing wrong was I couldn't talk because my throat hurt and I was hacking all day long. ;) :) Classes passed as usual. I had my first midterm today.... ughmuffins. It was a western lit midterm. We were required to write five essays in an hour. I was desperately praying as I scribbled away furiously. I'm still not entirely sure what I wrote, but I don't think it made much sense. We'll see what happens. :) No Western Civ today which meant... guess..... More time to study!!!!!!! I have two more finals and a midterm and then

I adore delicate things. Not sparkly. Usually small. Things synonymous with: Delightful, Charming, and Precious That's why I love simplicity That's why I love flowers. :)
