Most of you know that I was diagnosed with ADD my sophomore year at Furman. I was prescribed Straterra (BAD NEWS) and then switched to Ritalin. I stopped taking it when I left school. So. I've been trying for the past month to get back on it, but it's been an uphill battle. So much paperwork, "you haven't been here in over a year so we can't help ( Read more... )

Yay for spontaneous adventures!

( fun times )

I had so much fun this weekend! Yay for Furman kids! It was really good to see everyone. This is going to sound corny, but I felt drunk with happiness the whole time I was there. I love being around my friends--I feel so loved and welcomed. I probably drove them crazy with all my hugging and saying "I love you", but I couldn't help it. It was ( Read more... )

No, the world is not ending, I really am updating again! I'm having a good time here so far. My roommate is supercool and sweet. Plus she laughs when I make lame jokes, so bonus points. I've only had one class so far because the second was cancelled. Since when is cancelled spelled with only one "l"? Spell check is telling me it's wrong. Whatever ( Read more... )

So I totally forgot to mention that I did get accepted to Western Carolina University! Yay! I'll start classes in January. I'm gonna be packing up and moving this week and next. I'll spend some time in Burnsville, packing up all my stuff there. Lots of work, but I've been wanting to sort through all my junk for years now. Yay for moving on with my ( Read more... )

Hey, for once I actually have a few minutes to just chill on a computer. I'm in Spruce Pine, near Burnsville, on a computer at their TINY library. I dropped Lydia and her friend off at gymnastics and I'm just killing time till I have to go pick them up. Tomorrow Mom and I are going to leave early to drive through the campus of UNC-Asheville on our ( Read more... )

So I got an email from a family friend yesterday--a guy named Jimmy who is stationed in Iraq. He's been there since last December and just got to come home for two weeks in August. He's back there now and won't be home till next January. He has a four-year-old daughter and a son who's almost two. It's been really hard on his wife for him to be gone ( Read more... )

Hey, I'm back in Wytheville. Still living at Subway. I started taking an Intro to Psych class at the community college. I know, I've already taken it, but I needed something that would be an easy A (hopefully!) that I could use to get me back in the habit of studying and focusing on academics. I'm in the process of looking for a car (with loads of ( Read more... )
