Stomach pains at first, love at the end

Today, I woke up thinking that I was going to die. My stomach hurt so much that not even a heating pad could eradicate the intense, throbbing pain. I silently screamed, hoping that something could help me. Nothing could. I just went to the bathroom and carefully sobbed. No tears, just facial features that suggested otherwise.

I didn't think I could make it out because of my pain. But now that my day is nearly over, it is safe to say that I have survived one of the worst pains ever.

I thought I was pregnant. But that was nearly impossible. I'm not sure what the cause was, but it was quite epic. Not even the movie 300 could wrap around the agony and the pain that I have endured. At least today went by smoothly.

At the end of it all, I celebrated my lively Monday with a visit to the USG office, while waiting for my bus. I ate two pretzels (another one previously at the IMPACT meeting) with heavy, sinus clearing mustard. I spoke to Nick about the Stroudsburg Marching Band trip to Florida (which I am still so jealous about!), and tried to listen to some Gershwin on the computer. I had no idea how to work USG's computer's speakers. So that sort of sucked, but pretzels and good friend talkin was all I needed.


I am excited for the upcoming days, the weeks, the months. Everyday is a new adventure here and I am so excited. I have so much going on it's just great to be in motion. That rush, you know. I live by that. I thrive for that motion.


Here it is. Surging and splashing my face, like waves of water.


2 more days until I get to see the Phantom of the Opera (for free!)
4 more days until the other New York trip (seeing family!)
5 more days until Cynthia's percussion recital
9 more days until the Wing Eating Contest
10 more days until I see the love of my life and Jeopardy Night (I am organizing it!)
11 more days until the Philadelphia trip! (It's free too!)
16 days until Easter Break
25 more days until the Wind Ensemble concert
32 more days until Washington DC (just a trip, not the internship.)

I didn't feel like counting other events. Hopefully you got the idea!
