update

Well, I'm about to work the lunch shift today, first time since I've been back from our trip. I'm working everyday until Sunday, blah. But its money so I guess its a good thing. Just got home from Liz's, we had a little bbq last night on vashon. just us girls. very fun. Liz told me about her orientation experiences at UCLA, shes running there next year and it sounds so exciting! Everyone was really nice and she met most of the guys running team as well. I hope I find that where I'm going.
I also had to go to the doctor today for my follow up apt. from Monday. Since I haven't updated in a little while I didn't get the chance to write about my lovely doctor experience earlier this week, joy. So I had to get a tetnis shot, meningitis (don't know how to spell) and then a TB skin test all at once, all in one appt. sweet. And as most know I hate the doctors, needles, nurses, anything...I start freaking out in the parking lot. SO after waiting for almost a 1/2 hour to see which shots I was going to be getting (I ended up getting all of them) I was doing fine (for me) and the shots didn't even hurt that badly, and the TB test was like a prick/pinch on my forearm and I was ok, well I cried a little before but anyways, and then like 2 minutes after all of the shots I felt this wave of nausea and I told ppl I didn't feel OK and they gave me water, and then my hearing started becoming muffled and I couldn't really hear directions people were giving me, then my eyes had trouble focusing on one thing, and then I just felt my vision begin to slowly cave in. All I heard was the nurse yelling for all the other nurses to come to the room and then they put my in a wheelchair after they took my blood pressure and pulse and they were way too low. so they wheeled me out to another bigger room. BUT the wheelchair didn't fit though the door so they tired to lift me and have me walk but I collapsed on the hallway floor. yeah neat I know. so when I finally came to I saw all of these people staring at me, this lady was putting this wet towel on my face and I guess I hyperventilated and then went into shock, which led to my collapse. Very scary and not something I ever want to re-live. It was a really weird feeling being semi conscience but not being about to react in the right way because of my body. Definitely a first for me.
Mom and I made our first college shopping trip yesterday and we got though bedding, sheets, a huge trunk, make-up mirror, electric fan (no AC in Cali! ahhh), pillows, clothes hangers, little clippy hangers to hang skirts, and towels. Our amazing trip to BED BATH & BEYOND left us feeling successful and somewhat more aware of what we actually need to get done in this next month. I'm in love with my duvet cover and bedding, omg. Its from Liz Claiborne and its absolutely adorable. Its like a vanilla / creme color with a sort of floral pattern, very understated, very simple. Its called Gabriella, so cute. And my sheets are sage green with vanilla and sage pillows. SO EXCITING.
Oohps, this took a little too long. I will finish the update later :)
