Update on life... NOT FOOD

So someone asked me last week if my blog had turned into a food blog. Sadly no, it's just a hobby I know have and figure it's nice to post the recipes online to share them and so that I don't have to physically make a book for my favorite recipes; instead I can just go online and look up whatever dinner I want to make that night. Plus I hope it helps others who might be wanting to try something new, either as a dessert or main course.

Over the last few months a few things have come to light. No, plans have not changed too drastically, I still plan to move this summer to be closer to my internship which I finally DID get pre-approved for which made me ecstatic to say the least, my graduation is still set for December 2010! and I'm still not enjoying life here.

Some things that have changed are as follows and I'm trying to not be too sad about this but I went into the doctor the other day to talk about some health issues I had been having which I always associated with bronchitis or asthma. Turns out it's a disease called costachondritis; basically the muscles between my rib cage and the cartilage that attaches the ribs to the sternum are inflamed and causes the pain. Ok, so not a big deal; I'm getting over it just means pain and managing that pain.

The doctor sent me out for a few tests and x-rays. Results came back and apparently I have scoliosis. GREAT! Is there anything that I won't have before I die or am I about to keel over? Scoliosis is still a little bit of a schock but at least it's not the fibromyalgia they WERE talking about; that would be worse!

Moving on, nothing else has been going on. I still throw myself in school and some say I will regret that later but I honestly don't think I will. It's not that I pass up opportunities to hang out or go out; the chance just never presents itself. Therefore I am looking forward to December and January where I can begin to work full-time and not worry about homework, papers and tests. Is it bad that I want to go back to work?

I'm sure some people will tell me, yes and that I'm crazy. But really I worked full time for a year and I thought I would love being in school but I'm finding that I really just want to go back to working full-time; even if it meant going back to my old office. Maybe these thoughts only come because I am taking 18 credit hours a semester with 6 courses and 2 labs. I don't know, but I really just want to get done.

That's about all I have to update on me thus far. I will do better to keep the updates more regular and look for more blogs on my travel blog as I go to Georgia in 2 weeks; I'm really trying to have it all updated BEFORE I go.
