Birthdays Galore!
I slept in again yesterday and tried to not take my medicines to see if I’m getting better. I got sort of achey and stuff so I took an advil and called my mom. I guess it’s still trying to get me, which means I need to get more sleep but I’m having trouble doing that lately it seems. I had breakfast of tea and my last thing of oatmeal, and then later a banana because I thought maybe I wasn’t feeling well because my bloodsugar was a bit low. It does that sometimes.
Throughout the day I read this world bank article on Ghana. It was quite long, but it was really interesting to me. Reading about just aid in general and how effective it is interesting, but I get really intrigued when I get to read up on individual countries. I told my mom that I decided I was a dork because economic history for me is like reading a novel. I want to find out what happens in the end, though none of these stories are finished I guess. My mom agreed that I was a dork but she said it was okay, maybe I found my specialty or something.
So during reading that I took breaks to finish Ruth’s stocking! It’s sort of small but I was afraid that I wouldn’t have enough of the same kind of yarn. I’m sure she’ll still like it. It also means I don’t have to find as much stuff to stuff it with. I also looked at some movie trailers online and crocheted some other stuff. Then at 4, I called Kyle and his plans got all messed up so we didn’t get to talk long. Then I called my mom who was grading papers down at the farm and we talked for a bit. Then I went to church.
After church, I went to Regent’s library and read the Blind Assassin until 9. Then I went to meet Ruth and we went to Kat’s birthday party. She’s 20. It seems like almost everyone here is younger than me, even those who are third years. We sat around and talked for a while and then decided to leave around 9:45. It was fun, but crowded. It seems like everyone is having birthdays lately, so facebook tells me at least.
Oh and in my e-mails, I got an Avent e-card from my grandma and mom. They’re obsessed with those things. I also got e-mails back from Dr. May and Dr. Apple, which was nice. Dr. Apple said it was Mansfield’s loss and hopefully Regent’s will have enough sense to accept me. He’s always had so much confidence in me, and I’m not completely sure why, but it makes me feel good that he thinks I can do it, even if I don’t. I guess he’s one person that I made a good first impression on. I don’t seem to do that with most people.
When I got back, I probably should have gone to bed, but I didn’t feel like it so I messaged Rita and Lindsey, who were both online. Neither were there for a bit, but then Rita came back, so we talked for a while until she had to go eat and then work out. Good girl, keeping in shape. Of course, I guess she has to since she does track and stuff. Then Kyle came on and he called and we talked for a bit until I started to fall asleep and he was going to take a nap before he went into work. Lindsey messaged me while I was talking to him, so after taking a 10 minute power nap after I talked to Kyle, I messaged her again. We talked for a while, which was good. I can’t wait to see people. Then I finally went to bed at 1. I’m bad. Tonight I’ll try to get to bed a bit early. We’ll see.
