And I did my other blog and I got the genius score. I think I am just the most smartest of the bloggers.

Paper City Party!

Yes, the rumors are true. I went out!! This is a milestone in OU-Chillicothe history for me, and I wanted to tell everyone in the fam about it.(P.S. Chillicothe is commonly referred to as "Paper City" because of it's paper mills, and if nothing else, it makes it sound, in the words of the natives "cooler") I sound like a nerd deprived of social contact my whole life, but this is really the only time in my life that I haven't had a group of friends to associate with. But anyway, I went to a show with my friend Whitney and saw some local bands play. That part was fun, except I was being too critical about the intonation of the guitars, the excess of volume, and the different kinds of cymbals the drummer used. Well ti's my nature to be like that. But the real fun was the gathering after. I met some really cool people, and besides being viciously attacked by a cat(see picture), I really enjoyed myself. The hand looks a little better since I've gotten out of the shower, but believe me it was much worse before.

In other news, I finally got my Psychology book in the mail! I ordered it on the 8th and received it the 19th. This unfortunate event led to a 6 out of 10 on my quiz(pretty good for guessing). But it's OK because I got 3 points of extra credit as well:) I also am over my kidney infection after having to miss some school and lie in my bed for 3 1/2 days moving only to get more water and take more pills. I also got a nice visit from mom, and she was kind enough to let me borrow the car to go visit Drew last Sunday. We had a really nice time, even if he is being a punk.

My other big news is I went to the chiropractor this week. You know I went in there, said my back kinda hurt, you know not a big deal. Well, after doing a test to measure the tension of my muscles(see below), he was concerned about how much my muscles were compensating for my spine. On the left is a normal back, the right is mine. All red, and some muscles even at a tension of 210% more than normal, and after getting my X-rays it was clear what the problem was.
9 of my discs from my shoulders to mid back were rotated about 60 degrees to the left and perfectly straight, which is not a good thing. Along with that I had 1 pinched disc in my neck and 2 in my lower back. He was surprised I wasn't in more pain, and I was surprised no one had noticed earlier. So he's been cracking my back into place, and I've been re-training my back muscles to move properly, since I've had a misaligned spine for an estimated 4 to 6 years!
So besides finding out I have the back of a 45 year old, and one leg is longer than the other, I feel a lot better thanks to Dr. Hanes.
That's about it, I've been studying up on my audio theories, reading my psych and soc books, and dreaming in sign language. I'm beginning to be homesick again, but hopefully school will keep me busy enough not to notice.

The Party's Over

Yes it is true, the party is over. I am back at school again, and so far off to an alright start. A lot of good things and a lot of bad. I like both my Psych teacher and my DSI teacher(who is deaf) and I am excited for both the classes. It's crazy though; to get an A in DSI I have to go to the silent camp out. Yes that is a whole weekend using nothing but sign... It's not till May so I have time to get ready, but right about now I am not so sure I could do that. I have a deaf teacher and that seems hard enough! But I think it will be a lot of fun, I also may have to find a ride up to Columbus for another mandatory deaf event. But it's true, the only way to truly learn ASL is to immerse yourself into deaf culture. So school is alright so far, but it's more work than I thought. I have to go to the doctor really soon because I have the most painful kidney infection right now. Unfortunately I can't afford to go to the doctor until Thursday night or Friday, because I can't miss school. I can tough it out though, I am keeping it at bay with cranberry juice and lots and lots of water. But boy do I feel terrible right now. Hopefully I'll feel better soon. Also, Drew and I are taking a break right now. It's hard on my emotions, but we are still there for each other and no bridges have been burned, but let me tell you I am struggling a little bit with the whole thing. I think it's for the better so I have to just let things play out. oh well wish me luck.

Happy Two-Thousand-Great

I got home from Virgina on the 23 of December and preceded to have a great Christmas with family and then later with friends, I have pictures but they are on another computer and I am on my friends. So maybe I'll post 'em, maybe not. I am feeling so unmotivated these past few days. My New Year started great but by the end of the night, I ended up having the worst night of my life. No details necessary, but I spent the first day of the year miserable, crying on Drew 's basement couch...great start. Ever since I have just been in a daze, I think because it was the first day of my new year, any other day I think I would be fine by now, but eh.
I leave Sunday for Chilli and I hope all is well with Lois(my landlady). I haven't spoken to her yet, but she doesn't have a cell phone, and I think she is visiting her daughter in Indiana, Pennsylvania. Yes, it does exist. and no it's not just right on the border in between the two states(If you don't get it, look at a map of the U.S.)
Today I took Gabey to the airport and then picked up Rosa and Dave. It's going to be weird not being with them everyday, but I have to adjust to a lot of things all over again, I can't decide if I want a job in Chilli or not, if I want to add another class, let alone if I want to stay down there, geeze. This is too much to think about right before bed but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.
I start school the 7th so I'll probably be posting then, love you all.
