Interesting few weeks

I'd have to say this year has been pretty awesome so far up until a few weeks ago. Most days I wake up, go to yoga, go to class, work,class again then back to work. Sounds horrible but I really enjoy always having something to do. It makes the time here in Lubbock go by so much faster.

The first two months of this semester flew by and spring break is almost here. Of course, I couldn't just have nothing mess up so here is my funny story.

I was drinking out of a straw and hit the end on my tooth... It broke. So I'm once again a hillbilly. That same day I got caught at work and missed my first exam in my slopes and drainage class. Luckily I get to make it up. With all the rain and snow, my outdoor classes have been cancelled so many times that we are now having to stay until 4:50 everyday. That would be fine but I work at 3:00. I'm not sure how this is going to work out just yet.

As for the best part, I was playing volleyball at the rec and fell pretty hard. Being used to the small pain that follows I thought nothing of it. A short while later I felt like my lower arm and hand were going to explode. I went to the Tech doc (for free) and they took x-rays. Turns out I had broken my wrist. I have a temporary cast thing and go to a real doctor tomorrow morning. It doesn't hurt too bad unless I swing my arm, hit something with it or pick things up. My thumb is numb but I'm sure it's just jammed from falling. I was told once the swelling went down I would get a real hard cast but I can't work with one of those on. I'm hoping that they will give me some more options so that I can keep working. School is going to be a little more difficult with a hand out of commission but I'm going to get through that.




On a happy note, my hair is getting long! and I've been doing better at running since I started yoga. There is a huge difference in the mobility of my right and left leg but the right one is catching up quickly. All my scars are healed and I can feel most of my skin on my left leg. With the scares on the right leg I'm not really expecting the numbness to go away. It doesn't bother me anyway.

Other than this little hiccup of a few weeks this semester and year are off to a great start. I'm almost done with my first big project of the semester.
I'll be sure to post some pictures of it.


Here's a reminder of where these came from. ew.

Goodness Chelsey! Maybe you should live in one of those protective bubble things. I hope everything works out!
