It's So Wonderful!

So it's really been a wonderful feeling...you know, being with someone finally. I enjoy being with him because not only have we've known each other for years, but we have so much in common that it's ridiculous. Today he came over for lunch. He got here at 2pm and left at 7pm. He didn't even go to his karate class and I skipped class today because I had to study for a quiz tomorrow. We spent the whole afternoon talking. That was it. We talked for hours nonstop and it's so amazing because we never get bored of it. We also held hands...which was awkward yet cute. It felt really nice. He has soft hands :)

So right now I'm trying to study and do some homework. But it's hard because I feel kind of tired already and I'm just thinking about him...it's ridiculous. All of this is. I never even imagined something like this happening. Spending so many years alone I started to believe that I was meant to be on my own forever, that nobody would love me. But this happened and it's just..awesome.

This semester has just begun, but I am already incredibly frustrated. I hope I don't mess up. And I got a perfect A on my last class, so I was very happy about that.

Very Amazing Day?!

Yes. Today was actually pretty amazing. I went out with my best guy friend. He took me to a restaurant where we ate mofongo (click that to read what it is). It was my first time trying this thing even though I have been living in Puerto Rico for years. Well, Riverside Castle Restaurant had a variety of mofongos but I decided to go with stuffed chicken (since I can't tolerate any other meat). We also ordered fruit punch which was amazing! The best fruit punch I have ever had! It was prepared there, it was sort of like a smoothie fruit punch drink topped off with a cherry. 

Well anyways, when we were done he told me that he wanted to talk about something. Immediately my heart started pounding and whatnot because I pretty much knew what it was about...he wanted us to be a couple. Now, this was kind of awkward because we have been friends since forever and I haven't been in a relationship for about 8 years or maybe more. But I said yes because I do like him. He's very nice to me and we have soooooo much in common, it's unbelieveable. Let's see how this works out.

So yeah, I am officially taken now. It's a little weird, so I hope it passes by soon.

Still Alive!

I'm still here, just lazy to update! Well classes finished on Monday. The final exam was in group so it was fine. We also had a pizza party but I didn't eat any since it would trigger my acid reflux. So I left, suffering for a slice of pizza! 

On Tuesday I went out with a guy friend. We went to the movies and saw Gravity. It was a pretty good movie but there was way too much spinning and we were watching it in 3D. I actually got dizzy during some scenes. But it was a way better movie than Runner Runner. It was also very emotional. Some touchy parts here and there, almost had me crying.

So as you all know, I have been on a weight loss plan. Healthy diet and exercise. However, I did start on Slim Quick yesterday just to try it out. So far it has gone pretty good. It has helped me to go to the bathroom properly today with no problems and no laxatives. I also lost 1 pound from yesterday, that was kinda cool. Let's see how well this keeps going.

Pulling My Hair Out?!

Today was the last day for our Nursing in the Community lab. I'm thankful for that, even more so when the class just finishes! Monday is the last day. We'll have a final exam and a case study. At least the final exam is with an open notebook. 

The community case study was due today and we had to give a presentation about it. Our presentation had 91 slides in total, but most of it were graphics based on a survey we did at the community. This work was extremely frustrating, it was done as a group and between a group of 10 people things do not go too well. But it was done, everything was fine. I just want this to end.

Thursday will be a new semester (trimester actually). And yes, I have another clinical practice class, but this one is at the hospital. I hope I don't get super stressed out again.

Yesterday I visited the doctor with my father. He told me that I have acid reflux due to not having a gallbladder. I also have some major constipation which doesn't help. So I have 4 new medications to take. Tonight I decided to take the ones for constipation since it is the weekend.

No Progress

I'm still not feeling any better. I actually have gotten worse. I called the doctor's office today only to be told that it's too full so my appointment is for October 21. I cannot wait that long, so tomorrow I will go see dad's doctor since he has an appointment and depending on what he says, more than likely drop by the emergency room (for real this time).

Today I went to visit my friend Marilyn. She was hospitalized due to kidney stones. She is in excruciating pain and can't go to class. So I dropped by her home (which she was embarrassed because it was messy due to her recently moving in) and I took her some soups and two granola bars. Not much but it's something healthy. Hopefully it will help her some.

 So yeah, it was such a boring day besides that. It has been raining all day and we have some cool winds! Finally, a day that doesn't feel like a desert. Well, I'm going to finish some of my class work. Tomorrow is going to be a long day since my group is going to finish the project that is due on Saturday. How nice. Doing it one day before the due date. Ugh I hate group projects. 

Exhausted!

Well, I still have slight diarrhea although it is going away already. I'm hoping that by the end of this week, my digestive system will be regular again. If not, I will go straight to the hospital. I am  not waiting around until my doctor decides to see me.

I updated my gaming blog. I wanted to update it more but I tend to get bored easily of stuff. So I stopped and decided to watch television. Currently showing: Stolen Voices, Buried Secrets. Not sure if this is a new season or what. I am horrible keeping up with series. I should organize a list for series that I have watched and plan to watch. I never even finished watching Dexter. I got stuck at the first episode of season 2, never even touched it again for like a year or so. I don't know. I just don't like watching television so much. I even get bored of YouTube.

I prefer to sit back and read most of the time. Probably play some games, and even then they're 98% hidden object games. Something relaxing. I get all freaked out if I play anything that has to do with action. And horror games, while I enjoy them, scare me to death haha.

I was supposed to be doing class work...I wrote just one journal entry. So in total I have about three of them. I have a few more to go *sighs*. I despise this class. Horrible. Why do we even have to take it? Why can it not be something fun?

About to Explode

So I went to the doctor today. I got there like at 7 in the morning for nothing. I was only able to give in my past results and had to leave because it was so full, that she couldn't take care of me. Now I have to wait until they decide to call me to let me know when I can go see her. I am still super constipated. Nothing is working. 

Last night I had to take this red liquid stuff, not sure how you call it but it's used for constipation. Well, so far I have been able to use the bathroom...I just have massive watery diarrhea but it's better than nothing. The point is I cannot depend on laxatives to use the bathroom because before this surgery I was able to go just fine. As a matter of fact, I was going to the bathroom just about everyday. But now it's been a month since I have had this horrible constipation. I am bloated, gassy, the mouth of my stomach hurts. 

I should probably get some sleep since I woke up at 6 in the morning. But to be honest, I don't feel sleepy. And who's going to rest when you have to run to the bathroom constantly now? I was thinking about doing some of my class work...end work...but I feel to lazy and exhausted to think straight enough to write a stupid journal about what we did on that day. Just like little children. This is university, not kindergarten. 

I'll just sit here and watch television. Maybe fix my nails...and wait until somebody logs in to chat. Perhaps even update my blogs more...or play some Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Or just beat up stuff in Mortal Kombat.

Struggles

So, it has been about 1 month with some days since I had a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal). Exactly one week after my surgery I started getting constipated. Today, it is actually so bad that I have pains and have been gaining weight. Don't get me wrong, I know very well that it's my fault for not visiting the doctor as soon as possible. But tomorrow I will go to her office early morning. I'll also take the results from my pelvic sonogram and blood tests.

Also, I seem to be relapsing into a depression. I just feel awful. Like useless, worthless, a failure. I am super stressed out due to my class of Community Nursing...which by the way I hate with a passion. The professor makes it a very tasteless class I suppose you can say. But yeah, my hair is falling out because of this. Or so I assume it's because of the stress and not a problem with my thyroid.

I'm trying so hard to calm down. To relax and think positive. I am doing exercises to distract my mind.

A Haunting!

So I am currently watching "A Haunting" marathon on Destination America! It has been on all day since the new series will premiere tonight. I have watched every single episode, but I just realized that I may have skipped season 5 (silly me). I doubt it will be shown tonight, although they are showing one of the episodes right now (Dark Dreams). 

I'm actually supposed to be doing some work for my class, but here I am, on the laptop and watching television, giving absolutely no fucks about the work. I'm just frustrated with that class. Thankfully it ends next week. But this professor has made this a living hell for us. Not because she's mean, but because she's very irresponsible, unorganized and an idiot. Yep, she's just an idiot straight out. 

I hope I can get to hang out with my friend again. Our 'date' on Friday was quite nice. We had dinner at a Thai restaurant then went to watch Runner Runner, which by the way, was a crappy movie. Horrible. It was so boring. But there was nothing good showing...

So yes, welcome!

Hello everyone! Welcome to my new blog. Hopefully I can keep up with this one and be a bit more active than what I have been over at insanejournal. Then again, that site is kind of dead as well. I think I should probably write a small introduction as a first post, yes? 

Anyways, my name is Sophie. I am 24 years old, born and raised in New York and currently living in Puerto Rico. I have an Associate's Degree in nursing, currently working on my Bachelor's. If all goes well, I should graduate in May 2014. I love art, music, reading, writing, and especially video games. 

I consider myself to be an introvert and extremely shy. I love to spend time by myself but I enjoy being with friends as well. I probably spend more time online than outside, but whatever. 

In this blog I will post random stuff. Sometimes personal posts, others can be about information...I'll post about video games, books, movies, tv series. I'll also post about medical things, as well as stuff on serial killers and haunted places! Hah, I am a very random person indeed. Please don't be scared of me. I am a great person once you get to know me, I promise :)

Hello!

Welcome to my blog. I will post about anything and everything that I wish. I just need a place to post my thoughts, rants and just stuff in general. So yes, feel free to follow and check it out. You can also find me over at tumblr (more active perhaps).
