boo.

I'm on day #5 of being sick and it SUCKS. It hit me Thursday at work and then ever since that night I've been confined to my house. Sorta. Woke up Friday morning and had the achy body and the head that felt like a thousand pounds but still got up and ran SIX errands! SIX! good grief. Did miss class though.. But went to a meeting in which I found out some INCREDIBLE news, which I will detail about later ;] - and then Friday night just stayed home and Saturday was supposed to work and B covered my shift but then asked if I could come in 630-930 "if I felt better" .. so I suck it up and go in... and got worse. Sunday just went to eat lunch and ran a few errands, including getting some diff meds hoping they would help.. got the meds, but they don't help much :[ SOO B called the dr today and he said that if I had taken the meds he prescribed David and nothing helped then it's a viral infection.. and basically I would just have to wait it out and just take whatever meds I have to help with the "pain". BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :[ I hope I get better by this weekend, I can't miss out on Maureen's 21st birthday din :[

Back to the incredible news. - my meeting on Friday was with DARS/VR services (the people/program that pays for my books and etc) and I was just there for a "checkup" meeting that I have to do every 3 months, beginning/end of the semester(s), etc. And was telling him about my plans to do deaf education and go to TWU in Denton and etc etc and he was throwing all this info at me about other schools and etc and Gallaudet came up.. Gallaudet is the deaf university in Washington DC that I've ALWAYS wanted to go to and was my first choice but too expensive blah blah blah. and anyways, he said that if I wanted to go and applied and got in and all that then he'd pay for it!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D So they'll pay for tuition, room/board, books, fees, food (on campus ofc) and etc and to fly me up there in the fall and fly me home in the spring when schools done :] so that was incredible, amazing news. SO needless to say I've already been working on my application, just have to write two essays, get two recommendations, get an audiogram, and get my transcripts/SAT scores. But I'm also still going to apply to TWU in Denton just to have options and etc. But yay! SO exciting! It's just one of those opportunities that I can't pass up without trying for it.

But anyways :]
I'm gna go watch "Charlie Wilson's War" and eat my Krispy Kreme donuts and chocolate milk :] YUM!
