I'm Still Down Here...

I realize its been about 2 weeks since my last update, but I am still here...

Lets see how many super-exciting things have happened since the 17th...

Well for starters Amber and I no longer work for UNELA. It really happend. I talked to Elizabeth by phone told her I wouldn't be able to do it anymore and I actually followed through with it. I thought for sure they'd ask me to stay and I'd cave- but I didn't! So this is not only quitting a job, but an interal victory for myself as well. And man it feels good. I loved teaching but it was alot of extra time a week and really far away, its just better for everyone (except the students and UNELA) that we quit.

Friday I went to the doctor and found out that I not only had some sort of bacterial infection (gross) but vertigo as well. She determined this by asking me about 10 minutes worth of questions related to my dizziness and then checking my eyes with a light. I guess theyre not responding appropriately and working to hard to do something simple. So as it turns out I don't need a new prescription already, I just need my eyes to get their act together and do the one job they were given. She gave me some prescriptions which averaged out to about $20 worth of medicine (really expensive here, plus they were the generic brands) but by this time next week I should be feeling a whole lot better, and a whole lot less dizzy- if not then I have to do some blood tests (yay)

I got to talk to my parents, and Derek for a couple hours this last week. I was really excited about that. I hadn't talked to them since they went home from here. And Derek I havent talked to in even longer (by phone or virtual communication) although I do recall a certain text message he sent me on June 8th that said (and I quote) "but I love u too n I promise to start emailing you!" Interesting, isn't it? That is a direct quote, I didn't add to that or take away in any way...

Aaron on the other hand has left me myspace messages as well as posting videos of my beautiful neices. You should check them out on YouTube if you haven't seen them yet, search by Reagan Micyal...although for my reading audience they probably wouldnt be of any interest. I did almost cry when Riley talked too me though. I also almost cried watching The Porch video Derek made with my Grandparents. I've just become a really sensitive person since I've been here. Amber and I both picked up new things like that. I'm always crying about something and she's always mad about something. We blame it on the culture shock- we are so not like that in real life (real life, as in, life in our hometowns)

Well I guess that about sums up the really cool life I've been living since the 17th, arent you glad you stopped by to waste your time reading that =)

Oh! And no work tomorrow- national holiday! =) But if I did want to go it would be Beach Theme Day in the office- however, no see through clothing, no spaghetti straps and if you wear shorts they must be knee length- so the only adjustment they really made to the normal dress code is, we could wear flip flops and beach appropriate hats. As tempting as that is I think I'll just stay home and sleep all day.
