Monday, November 23rd




I woke up unusually early this morning, but last night's sleep was much better than the night before's.  Two nights ago, I woke up at 4 in the morning and had a cough-storm.  I woke my mom up, and she later said she thought I was throwing up.  I've been sick ever since I stayed up late cramming for my Organic test; maybe there is something to this whole correlation between stress and disease.  So far, my break has been relaxing and a great change of pace from school.  I have a lot that needs to be done, but there's no immediate pressure to get most of it done.  Today, I went to by new job at Stower's Medical Research.  I work as a lab assistant, where I basically do all the grunt work that really smart people need done.  It's going to be a great experience and already has been, so every time I think about the job I get excited, even if it is difficult to drag myself there at times.  I only worked for 3 hours, because I had an Orthodontist appointment in the early afternoon.  It was a quick appointment, and I found out that there's a great chance that I'll get my braces off before Winter Break is over.  It really is quite amazing how far my teeth have come since I got my braces on last year.  They showed me the pictures from last year, and it truly is remarkable how much has changed in my teeth since then.  When I think about it, it really is remarkable how much has changed in my life since then.  This past year, I truly have transformed into a better person.  Last year, I made a decision to join ADG, and that was probably one of my best collegiate decisions, next to deciding to live on campus.  I've gained too many skills to even begin discussing, and I've gained many deep connections with people at Rockhurst.  I've gained the confidence to become a leader on campus, which did not happen overnight and still is growing.  When I look back at my freshmen year, I get swarmed with a mixture of feelings that are probably very similar to a lot of people.  In addition to recognizing my immaturely, I remember how it felt to lose touch with my high school friends.  It's tough to see old friendships slowly slip away and realize there's nothing you can do.  It's a transition that many people go through, but it's hard to realize that when you're going through it.  Of course I still keep in touch with my old friends, and hang out when we are all back in town, but it will not be like it once was.  The one thing that keeps me going is that I now realize how great the people around me at Rockhurst truly are.  I've opened myself to them and they've done the same for me.  I could talk about this forever, but I'll leave that for later.  For now, I just need to get through this break without being immobilized by boredom.
