wow, i can't even describe how ridiculous my last week was. i'll just start from the beginning. last thursday (not this past thursday but the one before) we had the most tiring vball practice ever. we did a lot of running and a lot of conditioning. definitely the most i have ever, EVER worked out before. we all know that i am not in that great of shape so working out so much so fast probably wasn't good for me. well, after I got home (i had to study for my history test on friday) i got a bad case of the hiccups. this was the second time I had the hiccups. i actually had them for like three hours and it was horrible. so i woke up the next morning so freaking sore. sore in a place i have never been sore before, my chest. early on in the day, i was okay. i went to dg lunch, ate. went to take my test, dominated it. chilled all day on the couch with the roomies. later on in the day, the soreness was coming on strong, pretty strong. i almost couldn't breathe because i was so sore. i took some acetaminophen and called it a night.
woke up the next morning feeling better. we watched the game, which we dominated, went to lunch with cotton, caroline and christina. afterwards, we came back to the house to watch more football. cotton and i wanted to make margaritas that didn't turn out too well and watch gone with the wind. a bunch of girls came over and we watched it. it was cool but tiring because we didn't start watching it till 11 or 11:30.
sunday: i didn't do anything all day! woke up and watched lpbw (little people big world) marathon on tv and it was awesome. i didn't get asked to go to younglife formal so i chilled at the house by myself and watched a lot of tv. true blood, jon and kate, you know, the usual. went to bed.
monday: woke up, went to class. felt fine. i was struggling in leb. it was awfully boring. so i left and had lunch with some friends and watched cliff for a while. i was getting a ride home from natalie so i waited for her. went to the mall with her, went to sonic. came home and when i wanted to take a nap. as i was laying down, i felt this pain in my chest. when i laid down, it hurt to breathe kind of. i was like, hm...this sucks. so i called the nurses hotline and she suggested that i go to the emergency room. i called my mom and she said that if i felt like i needed to go then i should. it was right before meeting so i just decided to go to meeting. i was really hungry and i felt really weird. i ate a payday and started to gag. i tried to throw up but couldn't. afterwards, i came back home and tried to see what the heck was the problem. i was troubleshooting with caroline but that didn't fare too well. i ate a sandwich because i thought maybe i needed to eat something. i ended up going to sleep.
tuesday: woke up, felt the same. decided that i would go to the emergency room and see what the deal was. i was afraid that something was wrong with my heart. went to the er where i was the youngest person in there by about 40 years. they check a bunch of stuff. long story short, there was nothing wrong with my heart and he gave me a packet of info with no certain diagnosis. the doc told me to take motrin and see what happens. i came home, got lunch and did nothing for the rest of the day. i decided to go to practice because maybe i needed some vball to improve my spirits. beforehand, i went and bought pepcid ac because i thought i had maybe had heartburn. took one and went to practice. i actually felt a little better after taking it. so i guess that was good.
wednesday: did not do anything all day, worked the vball game that night where i started to feel really really weird inside. i was sorta freaking out.
thursday: felt pretty weird at school, was freaking out. came home and rest for about two hours on the couch. i was going to go to the hp vball game with kata and drew and some others. went and felt kinda weird. went to eat afterwards and i knew that i shouldn't have even eaten. had some soup and a chicken taco. came home and had some pepto and it made me feel better.
friday: i woke up and felt a little better. i had went to the doctor's office where she put me on prilosec and mylanta. went to college station for vball.
so friday and saturday were the days i felt the best. i sorta actually feel like me again which is awesome. that is so uplifting. now, i hope that each day is better than the last. i mean, i still feel it. right now i actually feel like something is in my chest and its bothering me but i'm about to go take some mylanta. i just have to watch what i eat and start exercising more often. hopefully, by the end of my prilosec treatment, i should be better and now i will be more aware of what i eat and how i can't take my health for granted. this is an extremely long post so i'll cut it short. i'll write more later because i'll most likely be bored this week unless my family comes up for thanksgiving.

long time no blog #2
so it's been a really long time since i've blogged, almost a month.
things that have happened since then:
1)we went from number 1 to number 3. we lost to tech in the last second. we had an interception with eight seconds left but blake gideon dropped the ball after it fell right between his numbers. sucks. if he would've caught that ball, we would be the number one team in the nation without a doubt with a red carpet paving the way to the national championship where we would've potentially beaten florida. oh well, woulda coulda shoulda. there is still a slight chance of us making it to the big 12 championship game and the national championship game. we just need to win out and win out big. i know we'll definitely beat a&m by a lot (two years of extreme hate, i still haven't gotten over that 12-7 lost AT FREAKING HOME) but i'm worried about kansas. i don't want to win by a field goal or a touchdown. i need us to win by at least three touchdowns and we should be fine.
2. i went to ole miss!!!!!!!!!!! dang, talk about a good time! the weekend started off by us missing our 6:23 am flight. we wanted to leave coppell at 5:15 and I was ready...(sorry beth and blaine!) we were literally four minutes too late to our flight. oh well. we ended up flying out of dallas at 11:30. we got to memphis at 1 and we were in oxford by 3:15. went to a tri-halloween party (EN,EX,phi delt) at a club called the lyric, it was cool. i stayed in the EN house with adam. on saturday, we went to the game, groved it up for a while (love the grove and the amazing food) went to a KE party that night and it was alright. the next day we went to corky's in memphis and it was so good and so cheap!!! flew back to dallas, drove to college station and then drove back to austin. it was a great time. the alcohol was too expensive though. this is why i think texas is still the bigger party school. out of the top three in the nation, i've been to two out of three. well, i just checked the rankings and we're like number 7 with ole miss being number 4. we can party, for cheap. i really want all my ole miss friends to come to austin and see how we have fun. the grove is awesome, but it doesn't compare to sixth street.
3. the fall and rise of my history acc classes - so on the second tests I took in both of my history class, i made a 44 and 55 respectively. in my 1301 class, i studied my butt off knowing that i needed to do well to maintain my C. i just took my 2301 test last night. on saturday, i found out that my test was due on monday. i studied a little bit on saturday night, all day sunday and the majority of the day on monday. i needed to make at least a 72 on my test to increase my 68 to a C. i made an 85!!!!! it was awesome. i only missed six which is awesome. i can still make a B in the class, if i make a 100 on my next test. i think i can totally do it. the problems that i missed were problems that i had no idea. i could've totally studied more for the test. i'm going to try my hardest. i can only make a c in my other class due to my dumb ass professor. that's man. i'll end up with a B average in the class but because i made a 44 on one of the test, i will make a C. oh well
4. my coach told me that i was the best player on my volleyball team, skadoosh. even though I'm not captain (i have a problem with encouraging (ask my tribal comp co-coaches)) i gotta improve my encouraging skills because currently, my team except for a few guys HATES me. the chemistry that we had last year isn't there. i hope it improves! i love going to practice though and I can't wait to play in our first tournament. a&m hasn't seen us full strength so we should put up a good fight when we play them slash we should beat them. we are supposed to be playing in g. rollie white on friday at 6 against their second team where we will play a 3 out of 5 game match! i will not accept a five match win or loss. we need to beat them in only three or four games. it will be interesting to see how elbert puts the team together in those games.
my ghetto but awesome computer is losing battery so i want to wrap this up. i'll try and blog more this week. i want more readers
