I quit counseling because I was board with it. I think the first lady was good to talk to and then I was happy. I got somethings I want to get off my chest. I feel like things are going better too... AND I got out of two parking tickets ($36).

Sunday:

I worked with the FBD group for a while but didn't have a camera so that was disappointing. Rita and I made a ham (we both had never made a ham. it is not a hard thing actually) for the Thanx giving dinner at Gabe's house . Where my entire studio showed up. It was a great time and the ham was wonderful. The day was happy, but then I stayed up until 6:30 am working on some things. Not a good idea. I slept through my class in the morning and then my studio was cancelled so I didn't show for that... I actually slept until 5:30pm.... That was plenty of sleep. Got up and went to studio for a few hours.

Tuesday:

Well, I woke up quite ill feeling. I couldn't get myself to get up until 12:30 pm. Another day of missed classes. OOPS! I didn't feel so bad about that... Later that night Larry (my studio teacher) was having a disco party. It was a blast. Teachers and students hung out and danced the night away. We ended up at Rock a'Belly's for closing. That is always a good time.

Yesterday:

I was supposed to get up at 7 am.... OOPS again.... The power went out and reset my alarm. When I finally did wake up I thought I was going to die. I felt like someone was taking a vise to my head. I couldn't breath either. Not much fun.

Rita (my new best friend and roommate) and I finally drug ourselves out of the house by noon and started on our journey back Home (East side of Missouri). Our parents called multiple times making sure the roads were all right.

It was funny because the roads didn't seem to be bad at all, but Cars were in the ditches everywhere. I saw more than 15 cars off the road. I couldn't figure out what the deal was.... I was traveling fast because I wanted to get home... like I know I had to have hit 100 a few time. I slowed down once I hit KC. Right after KC we hit a huge patch of traffic. This took about an hour for 15 miles. Traffic was just a mess after that. At one point I went 72 mile and it took 3 hours. This is not what I would call a good trip when driving a stick. My foot was numb. That is what I get of traveling on the busiest Travel day of the year while it is snowing!

After a NINE hour drive (this drive once took me 4 1/2 hours) I collapsed on my parents' couch. I have been sick the whole time and it is just getting worse.

Thanx giving was fun. I saw my family (BUT my brother wasn't there). I played Mexican Train like we always do, and took my nap after dinner (now I can't sleep)... I am on lots of drugs too..... This is the first time I have been sick in a long while so I am really being a baby about it!

I hope you all had a best Thanks Giving! Talk to you next time.
