I'm back in school...

I am officially enrolled in college once again! I'm so excited. I will be taking 3 classes, online. Since I probably can't quit my job at the PO till sept or oct. I will be taking Fundamentals of Algebra (cause I can't remember any math from school), English Comp. 2, and Western Civ. 2. I'm excited about the WC2 because I've been so interested in European history lately. Wish me luck that I can pass with good grades.

I've learned that even though I want to do pre-med, they don't have an "official" pre med bach. degree, so I kind of have to fudge it. Basically, I'll graduate with some kind of business degree, or anything I want, but I have to take all the required science and math classes. TONS of science classes, which is ok. I'm a bit nervous about them, but hopefully I'll do ok.

How is it that my body seems to be getting older than my age? I'm breaking down ack! First off, we've got the crohn's. Now my hip ligament is killing me and it seems to only swell up goose egg size (as seen under the skin) which only happens during Aunt Flo's visit. Then this week, because of the ligament, I was taking laundry to the laundry room and limping, so then I ended up kicking the the island and breaking the pinkie toe. Fabulous. What's next?

There are other things that have happened because of recent events but it's way too humiliating to write down. So now I'm in the process of trying to reanalyze the way I work my schedule and find something that works for me and 100% reliable.

I'm not sure if the new meds are working? It takes about an hour to kick in. I could probably take a nap while on them if I tried. The one side effect I have definitely seen, it takes away all sense of hunger. I have not felt hungry once in the last 4 days. I just eat because I know I should. When the meds first kick in though, I can't eat at all because the thought alone grosses me out. My stomach also doesn't growl if I have forgotten to eat all day, as what happened the first day. So I'll just have to pay attention and at least eat small amounts to make sure I'm eating what I'm supposed. It's crazy, all this time I've wanted something to help make the hunger go away, now that I have it, I'll have to readjust and remember.
