I'm supposed to be in bed but I don't feel like it and I'm leaving tomorrow for a few days so I'm updating now! Yay. From where I left off last time:
Sunday night, Corey came over...I think that was the night we watched "My Cousin Vinney" or something like that, because this other movie on TV wouldn't work because the TV is stupid and won't show some channels even though the other TVs in the house do and it's not like my parents have blocked them b/c it drives Dad crazy that he can't watch some of his races. Anyway, so I was very happy to see my Corazy after so long...I swear I spent like every free minute in Atlanta daydreaming.
Monday, I had a doctors appointment (a neurologist appointment) and the other doctors sent records of some stuff but didn't include blood tests so we have to wait for some of them to transfer before I can have more work done and possibly some muscle test thing where they put a lot of needles in you and send electric signals from one to the other and see how long it takes. Lovely. She also brought up the protein issue...and thinks that could actually be causing more of this than I expected, since I figured going 7 years of being a vegitarian with no problems meant that had nothing to do with it. We'll see.
That night, some of the Kidney went bowling...So I got to see people...but Corey wasn't there because of marching band and work, though I did get a phone call from him^^ which was nice. Then Anna and I ran off outside to the warmth because it was cold inside and we sat and talked about a bunch of stuff, including some career discussions...and she made the very good point of me being afraid of a lot of things lately...and I'm not really sure what to do about it, but she's right. After bowling, Corey and I had a 'phone date' to watch Iron Chef and Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which we've done every night since as well...It's nice to at least be able to talk to him when we can't see eachother for a while...even if he did fall asleep on the phone one night haha.
Tuesday, I went down to visit the UNC Wilmington campus....which was pretty much what I expected. It was nice, and I liked the things I heard about the dorms, especially the on campus appartments...though those are pretty hard to get. They've got some nice tutoring programs and help areas-like, if you're writing a paper and want to make it better, you can go talk to these people for free and they'll help you edit it for spelling, grammer, and generally make it sound better, as well as give you ideas for it...sounds nice. They're even building a whole huge new building for the Watson School of Education. And I really like that you really have to walk or bike everywhere because all the parking lots are on the outskirts of the campus.
I can't remember what I did Wednesday.
Thursday night, Corey came over^^ and we had another wonderful evening and discovered that I have a Star Wars movie that my parents taped in 1987 on TV so it had all the old commercials and such lol.
Friday, I found out Zach had been in an accident (ugh six car pile up)...he's fine though, as is Carli, who was with him...and there's too many details to go into, but it wasn't his fault. So yeah, that shook me a bit of course...Corey got his license that afternoon...and that night, some kidney members came over for a gathering...much DDR and part of a French movie that Marc brought which was odd and had subtitles...I should be used to subtitles from the Indian movies I've seen, but I got really lost in this one haha.
Tonight, we had a big gathering birthday party at Katie's for her sweet 16. I got to see some people I hadn't seen in quite a while-I don't think I've seen Robin or Jo since last summer, and I hadn't seen Ben since the end of school. Aside from a few things that seemed to mostly go unnoticed, it was fun, with much DDR and talking. And sugar. There were definitly some sugar-high people there I'd have to say.
Tomorrow, I'm leaving for the beach with Rachel, her family, and a kid I used to babysit for (he's a friend of Rachel's brother). We're going to Baldhead Island, and we get to take a ferry across to it and ride around in golf carts because they won't let cars on the island, which I think is pretty cool. I'll be back Tuesday night.
Mkay, enough updating for now...byeeee!
