This past Monday, I went to the emergency clinic because the sickness that I've had since last week hasn't gone away. I thought I was starting to feel better over last weekend, but on Monday night was when I started feeling bad again. My roommate had to take me to go see the doctor that night. At first we went to the ER. Driving in downtown Houston is one thing...driving at night is even worse! And scarier! We went to a hospital emergency room. We ended up entering the hospital from the back part of the building so we had to ask our way around to the actual ER. During our adventure, I realized another reason that I shouldn't become a doctor...I'm creeped out by hospitals! Not all hospitals, but this one in particular SCARED the living **** out of me. I felt like I was in a horror movie. We eventually got to the ER. The nurses took me in and questioned how I was feeling. Unfortunately, the ER was super crowded and it was probably going to take a couple of hours before I could actually be seen by a doctor. That's when my roommate decided to take me to an emergency clinic.

Luckily, I had my fiance on the phone giving us addresses to clinics nearby. Poor fiance...he was worried for my safety. I was kind of freaking out because I didn't know what was wrong with me, but he was there on the phone to calm me down. THANK GOD FOR MY FIANCE! We got to the emergency clinic within 10 minutes. The inside felt a lot like coming home because it was so welcoming and so home-like. I instantly started to feel a little better the second I stepped through the doors of the clinic. I was able to see a doctor less than 10 minutes after I sat down in the waiting room. The doctor asked how I was feeling and I told him everything I felt. He concluded that I had acute bronchitis. He had me get a shot of steroids to help speed up the recovery and prescribed me some meds. What a night! My fiance and roommate are life savers!!

I'm feeling tons better now. It's just so hard to find time to rest because of all the work I have to do for school. And I did my very best to miss as little school as possible because it's freakin hard to catch up on work when you miss only ONE day of class! Today was killer though. I've been taking Nyquil at night to help me sleep, and I woke up this morning feeling as sleepy as ever. If I could, I would've just collapsed on the floor and fall asleep. That's how sleepy I was! My friend was laughing at me every time I leaned my head back in class today because I was about ready to fall asleep. I'm glad it's finally the weekend, though, so I can rest and sleep as much as I want!

The weather here has been crazy. Hot and cold...hot and cold. The Houston weather theme song should be "Hot and Cold" by Katy Perry. Seriously. It can't make up its mind! That's what is making me sick!! Well...making it more difficult to get over this sickness. 

Poor fiance :( he started his MMA classes this week. It looks like he got into a fight because he's all bruised and sore. I feel bad for him financially too. He got a flat tire on his way to work one day and had to spend all his savings just to fix it. I offered to help him out, but he said he didn't want to owe me more money than he already has to owe. I don't really care if he owes me...we're going to be married in a few years anyway.

Fiance is also applying to be a radio broadcaster for the AF. He said they're undermanned and he's always been told to do radio because he has the voice for it. He DOES have quite a sexy voice ;) So he's going for that as well. He also applied to be a logger for his MMA training. At first, I thought a logger, as in someone who chops down trees or someone who does log-rolling...but he meant a logger, as in someone who tries out new products or something. I still don't quite get it...but okay lol.

I'm hoping and praying that things get better for the both of us!

Sorry for the lack of updates. School and life in general has been crazyyyyy. Classes are overworking me, normal everyday stresses...the usual. Last week was a pretty bad week for me. I've been doing well in all my classes, except for one: Organic chemistry. This one class alone brings me down. It's so different from normal chemistry that involves math, which I understand better. But yeah, at the very beginning of last week, I got the results from my first chem test back. Not good...at all :( So that was the wonderful start to my week. To make things worse, on the following day, my mom called at around 6:30pm and told me that my dad called her and told her that he had just been involved in a really bad accident. This made my heart drop when I first heard these words. It turns out that it happened on his way home from work during a really bad (and random) rainstorm. A pick up truck lost control, did a 360, and hit my dad in his car. My dad got all the impact and another SUV got some of the impact. Luckily, my dad was able to escape with only cuts and nothing fatal. EMS said he was lucky to survive the crash. That was definitely apparent after my mom sent me a picture of my dad's car at the junkyard after the accident had happened. It made me feel more stressed, especially because I couldn't be there when my family needed me the most. But overall, I'm just thankful that my dad made it out alive. God was definitely looking after him. As the week went on, it got a little bit better. I got to see my dad last weekend. It made me cry when I first saw him, but I was thankful to get to hug him again. I love him so much. I can't imagine what my life would be like if I had lost him that night. 

As far as this week goes, it's been a little bit better. Same old school. Had a psych exam on  Thursday, which I was busy studying for all week. Went to tutoring for organic chemistry so I can get better. Now I'm on fall break, which I'm definitely thankful for, but my professors assigned us work over the break. I feel like I have so much to do...I shouldn't feel like this over a break :( a well-deserved break. Ughhh...

But yes, that's what I've been up to. Sorry if this is such a boring update, but just wanted to let you guys know what I've been up to :)

Oh and my fiance started his new paleo diet. I'm glad he wants to be healthy and take care of himself :) round of applause! I miss him so much. It sucks not knowing when is the next time I will see him. It's been too long :(

Ooh and I just found out that one of my best friends from my childhood has a boyfriend that just went into the Marines. She's really sad that she won't get to hear from him as often. We started this convo over a facebook message. We did some catching up, which felt great since she was one of my best friends from my childhood. I love catching up with old friends. And even better, I find out that we have something to relate to. I'm glad I can help out an old friend :) maybe this will re-spark our friendship? Perhaps! Things happen for a reason!

And happy 50th birthday to my dad! I can't believe he's 50...oh my! It seems that everyone's birthday is in October. Happy birthday to anyone with an October birthday! :)
