Called into work sick today...
Even though I'm not sick as in running a fever, living in the bathroom, sick...
BUT I hadn't felt well all weekend, got very little sleep, and I NEVER call in sick (or take off a day, for that matter). Plus, I had (still do have) a lot of studying to do today for exams tomorrow.
Yes, I did feel a bit guilty about it.
However, my neighbor saw me out getting my paper (it's a textbook for one of my classes), and she commented on how I didn't look well, for the second day in row.
So, maybe it is a good thing I called in sick.
And even though I wasn't needing to go to the doctor sick, I still haven't felt well all day.
Funny how that works...
Ok, time to get back to studying. Unfortunately, you can't call in sick for exams (and I have 3 major ones and a quiz tomorrow)!

Last Semester, Big News....
Well, I'm FINALLY in my last semester of college. FINALLY!!
And, graduation is officially less than 3 months away!
So, I got to thinking, what do I want to do with my degree? More importantly, what do I want to do with my life? Oh the possibilities!
Everything I thought of, though, brought me back to having an average desk job for the rest of my life. That is, unless I decided to go to grad school and get my MBA.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized how much I really don't want to get an MBA. Even more than that, I really don't want to have an average desk job for the rest of my life.
After much thought and even more prayer, I've decided to apply to law school.
As if the stress of this being my last semester isn't enough, I've added the stress of studying for the LSAT, applying to law school, and everything that goes along with that to it!
Seriously, is graduation here yet???
In other news...
I graduated from physical therapy last Friday. They even sang Pomp and Circumstance (the graduation song) to me! As much as I'm going to miss Sarah and Jason, I'm really going to enjoy having those 3+ hours per week of my life back to do whatever I want/need to do with them! And even though my hip isn't 100% better (not sure it ever will be), I can walk again and am able to sleep (not that I've been getting much, thank you school!). Because I no longer do physical therapy at the facility 2 times per week, my living room has turned into a little physical therapy/work-out room. I kinda hate it, but at the same time, I kinda feel athletic. Speaking of athletic, thanks to physical therapy, I've got a pretty toned body now. So, thanks Sarah and Jason (especially Jason since you pushed me to my limit and beyond and refused to let me give up on myself).
I was sitting in my night Accounting class Tuesday night (yeah, it's just as boring as it sounds). The teacher walks in and gives a quick run down of what we're going to be doing in the 3 hours we will be assembled together for the evening. And then he says, "But, before we begin..." And, in my head, I automatically think he's going to say, "Let's start with a prayer..." That's when I remember I'm sitting in class in a public university, not worship services or Bible class. The crazy thing about it is that he kept saying cues to make my brain think that multiple times throughout the evening and my brain kept thinking we needed to pray. Yes, I am fully well aware that was my sign I needed to spend some time with the Lord and assemble with the saints. Check and check!
I drove around on fumes today. That is, until I finally got to a gas station to fill up. I tried to fill up last night, but I didn't realize it was after midnight (that's what happens when you're constantly going and not on a normal schedule like normal people). And when someone at services tonight found out about it, they offered me money to pay for gas thinking I drove around on fumes because I couldn't afford gas. I politely declined their hospitality as money wasn't the issue, stupidity and failure to look at my gas gauge was.
My fridge is currently fully stocked. Pretty sure it's never been this stocked, ever. Which is probably why my grocery bill was the highest it's ever been. But, hopefully I won't have to go back for awhile...
Alright, time to get back to studying! Group presentation tomorrow, 2 articles to discuss and debate online with my classmates (oh how I absolutely hate it!!), and a quiz to look over the material for!
Ok, if it's not December yet, can it at least be Friday already???
