I'm Going Back To The Start

First off, I celebrated my four year diabeticversary on Saturday. Four years, whew. Some days I forget I even have it, others I've tossed my pump down the hallway in frustration. (Note: I don't advise throwing a $7000 medical item. Ever. I also never said I always used my brain.) Even though I don't always like dealing with it, I am thankful for the impact it has made on my life. No one ever said this life was going to be easy, and thank God it isn't. Because I'd be INCREDIBLY bored.

So that was this weekend. Didn't really celebrate too much except for some awesome cupcakes for the "normals" (all relative) and some special ones for me and those who dared to try them.

In other news, another momentous occasion is soon on the horizon.... I'm going back to school on Monday! I'm excited, scared, vomitous and most importantly, ready. I am so ready to get back into the swing of things. However, you know those first day jitters? I feel like catepillars infested my stomach, hatched and now are swarming around has giganto butterflies. Dramatic? I know. But I'm trying to make a point here! For me it's nerve-racking because I'm starting mid-year, commuting and completely changing my major. Also, the school is literally twice the size of Scranton. Plan of action: get there early and try not to get lost on the first day. But we'll see.

Honestly, I can not believe I'm starting all over again. It was rough the first time, but to have to do it again, frankly I don't want to. Today was the first day I realized that I'm not going back to Scranton. And it stung. A lot. I loved the school and the people there. I always loved the sense of community at Scranton. I just hope I can find it here too. I am super duper excited to start my psych classes though. I am not however looking forward to Spanish. It's been a good year since classes, so I am a little rusty, to say the least. Well nothing like diving in with both feet!

I'd also like to make a general note to the public: My pancreas is getting a complex.

If you understand that then, kudos to you.

Peace, Love & God Bless

Who I Am

First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope everyone had a wonderful, stupendous and safe beginning to their new year. I for one had an amazing time. I played out in the snow, made a fort and a slide down a flight of stairs, and most importantly spent it with those I love. Definitely the most fun I have ever had on a new year's eve/day.

Secondly, I apologize for not posting sooner. But what better way to start the new year off with a blog post. I was waiting to post so I could announce some official news, and then the holidays hit. Love holidays, do not love the busy-ness. Oh well.

Now that I've peaked your interest about the official news, I should probably say something about that..... I'm transferring! It's probably old news to some, but I decided to stay close to home for obvious reasons and I can't stand being away from school so I'm transferring to a school around my area. Not sure where yet but I will be attending for Spring '10. I'm also switching my major to psychology and the Pre- physician's assistant track. Just a little update on my life =)

As most of you know, I deeply adore the Jonas Brothers. The youngest one, Nick, recently came out with his first single from his solo cd. It's called "Who I Am" and I seriously recommend listening to it. It's very soul-y. Honestly it's really amazing. Anyways, he came out with a video for it yesterday and it was NOT what I expected at all. I think it has an awesome concept to it. The basic gist is that each person has more to them that meets the eye.

Now the reason for me drawing attention to it is that Nick Jonas has a sign that say "Who I Am" and flips it around, and the first time it says brothers. The second time it says "Diabetic" and it goes back and forth through different people. And I just thought that was so inspiring. I mean I am a diabetic. That is who I am. But I don't solely think that of myself. I'm a sister, daughter, friend, blessed, Catholic, funny, inspired, and also a diabetic. There's so much more that meets the eye and I believe it's an awesome concept. Kudos on the video. It really is a nice reminder to remember that everyone is going through their own personal struggles.
