So Much Things to Say

Hellllooooooooo...my faithful viewers, I am sorry. I'm a terrible blogger. The last post was in february and a LOT has happened...I'll try to summarize. First of all there is my finger. Four weeks ago I was leaving my friend Nick's apartment and somehow my inger was shut in the hinge part of the door. SHUT in it. Chris got my finger out of the door and had it in ice and a towel before I could see it. It wasn't until I heard the fateful words of the ER surgeon "Well the good news is we're able to reattach the tip of your finger" that I knew how bad it was. The cut wen tthrough the nail and wrapped around my finger tip almost taking it off completely. The nail, nailbed, and a few bone fragments were removed. 5hours later Chris and I caught a cab accompanied by 16 stitches, excrutiating pain, and a perscription for Vicodin. Now the tip is healing nicely and cleanly. The nerves are still in repair an that makes the tip super tender so I keep it bandaged most of the time. That and I don't want women and children to run from me screaming when they see it.

So who is this Chris kid you ask? He's the man in my life lately and we've been dating for almost 2 months (itll be 2 on the 18th). He's on the men's rugby team and that's how we met :) He's a great guy and we're having a blast.

And then theres rugby! We got a team going and had our first game this last weekend. I play an 8-man who is at the butt end of the scrum. It was SO much fun to finally be able to play. Lindsey and I have been tying to get a girls team for EVER and to finally see it come together was the most rewarding experience in my college career (yes the lengthy one it is) to date. My finger held its own for the most part. It got hit and rolled on and all other things and was pretty painful but the scar, scab and everything else was still in place after and thats all I really need.

Classes are picking up and stresssssssing me out. I think I am going to declare comparative literature and culture as my major and try to get going on it next semester. What will I do with it? Who knows. But I love the idea o it so I'm going for it. As of now my classes are so packed that I really don't have time for anything. My day begins with work at 8:30 everyday, usually I go back to change after classes get out, usually around 4 and do a little homwork before either my Mon/Wed drawing class or tues/thurs rugby. Friday I volunteer in the mornings and work in the afternoon. After my night commitment I usually go stait to the library where I work until about 1 am. Then I head back to fal asleep to the daily gossip supplied so lovingly by Karly :) I'm realy going to miss her next year. I got so lucky witht the roommate I got. SO lucky. She's going to school in Oregon next year which is good for her but USF won't be the same. How else will I find out who's engaged and who got a new pair of HEINOUS Ugs. *sigh* life goes on. But I ave found a new roommate for next year. Her name is Jessica and we get along really well so I'm happy I don't have to worry about meeting a new person to live with and all that.

Alexis is coming to see me for the weekend!! I'm so excited to see her. She's the friend everyone needs to make them do STUPID things that you look bakc on and think two things: 1) WHY and 2) THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN! She's a neat neat girl and I'm just so happy to have her in my life. Thinking about old friends coming to visit gets me thinking about the friends I have. When I came to school I was so excited to meet the new people here and create those lasting friendships you hear about. Being here has produced good relationships and good memories but theres somehting to be said about the comfort of an old friend. This was actually a topic of discussion in a couple of my classes and in thinking about it Ive realized that really the only thing that can make those reationships so strong is time. It's frusterating because I don't want to have to start that process over! But at the same time meeting all these people is going to make my reunion with people like alexis that much more enjoyable.

This has been wa too long and though I realize it's not that interesting, I only have energy to supply the basics today.

Ill see you all ina 2 more months!

much love
