A Few Highlights That Balanced out Winter Sickness

Unfortunately, I still have this nasty stomach bug I had last. ): I started eating regular food Monday night, and have had various responses to eating (eat little, can't finish everything, don't have problems). I went to the Health Center on Friday and the nurse thinks I have stomach infection and gave me some meds that I have to take twice a day before meals. If I'm still feeling sick next week, I'll have to get blood work done. Sadly, I'm starting to feel sick again like I did last weekend. I also had a bit of a sore throat yesterday, but it's pretty much gone. Fortunately, I was not contagious so I was able to go to classes. (:

Despite being sick and busy, I was able to have some fun. On Wednesday night, I went to a reading by Anna Keesey, a local fiction writer, with my friends MacKenzie and Dana. She read us excerpts from Little Century, her current novel in progress, and was very passionate about her work. After she was done reading, my friends and I met her and enjoyed talking with her. We're required to attend one reading or lecture for our English classes, but we had so much fun that we're going to attend more.

Friday night was essentially a night of pure fun. My friends and I decided to switch things up and go to the Cove (cafe in the student center) instead of the Commons (cafeteria) for dinner. Our RA hosted a make your own "Where am I?" board event. She brought magazines, magazines, scrapbook and colored construction paper and we made boards telling others where we were. We also had cupcakes, which of course, were yummy. Later that night, we watched Armageddon, an action movie with a little bit of romance.

Yesterday, my sore throat was bothering me so I relaxed and did a little homework. Last night I went to Nicola's, a delicious Italian restaurant with my friends and some friends of my friend Traci. Since there were ten of us, we got to eat in the private room. I had a veggie calzone and it was to die for!

That's all for now. Until next week!
