An afternoon spent with Barrie's book in my hand and tea in the other to try and combat this annoying cough.
You know when you make all these awesome plans, but your body just WON'T let you do even half of them?
Yep, that was me today. The plan ruiner.
Sorry guys. My lungs have to take a little time to refresh.
But anyways, it wasn't such a bad day after all. I got to do some work in the research lab making sure our work is reliable enough, and on the first try, my roommate Liz and I nailed it!!!
That was just something that made me super proud. I've been working in this lab for quite a while now and it's finally looking like some progress is being made.
So, I come home after that (to a big ol' pile of laundry staring me in the face) and BAM I get an email. I'm in the OCC! Basically what that is is something Pitt makes to get you involved in other things besides just academics. Freshman year goal complete!!
But I'm also really missing my friends back home and the ones abroad right now (say "Hi" to London for me!!). Just like little things I come across throughout the day remind me of something we'd burst into laughter about. And while it's fun to do that, I gotta realize they're having new experiences that we'll get to cry laughing over later.
That's a little bit why I was okay with laying low tonight and letting myself have some "me" time (something extrovert me is SO not used to, or fully comfortable with). I decided it might not be so bad to just sit at home with some candles and apple juice with Project Runway telling me how to be fabulous.
Today's one of those day I'm soo not runway ready.
But I got the chance to really not worry about anything but my own well-being for a night. And honestly, it wasn't pure torture. I think the more I realize that I deserve to just be worry-free once in a while the more I'll be okay with it. It'll take a little getting used to that's for sure. But this is just the beginning.
Alright, I may or may not be craving some ice cream for my throat (compliments of my roommate Mavis). I'll try to keep these daily blogs short 'n sweet, but with all the same attitude.
Until next time babes
