So, this might get long, you might not care, but you might, I just feel like typing and telling my life story. So here it goes, you've been forwarned.

So I guess I'm starting to consider myself old balls now, I've had my 19th birthday, and I'm still alive and kicking. I had a rough first semester of college, between having meningitis and trying to stomach a full course load (and learning that I actually have to study in college..oops), and joining a sorority. This semester is going much better, minus my chemistry course, but I'm real excited about getting back into Athletic Training since I'm not allowed to touch D1 athletes at University of Illinois, but I'll be able to start my observations next fall. More in college, I joined a sorority, and I love it, I moved into my hosue and its real crazy living with 60 other women, it pretty crazy, and it has its drama.

I've definatly matured as a person, and I've found I'm leaving a lot of my high school friends behind, and its real sad, but I guess that is what college does to people, since most of my closer friends stayed at home for school and I went away and when I come home from school I'm still working two jobs full time and I don't really have time for their shenanegans.

Right now I'm home on spring break, my brother (who goes to the same college as me, er I guess I go to the same college as him being older, but) is studying abroad in Spain this semester so when I finish finals I'm flying to spain with my parents to go back packing through Europe, so I"ll have some good pictures from that trip in due time.

Other than that, if you are still reading, I ask that you pray for me, on Tuesday I'm going back to my doctor to get my skin checked out and I'm real fearful that my skin cancer may have come back, so just keep me in your thoughts, thanks.

Peace, love and chicken grease.
