This update is just for fun:
My cousin Mark promised to take me out for my birthday before I left for Belgium. That never happened. He remembered and kept his word and we went out to Olive Garden the day before I went back to Geneva. I love him, he is such a good guy :)
My room was awfully dreary when I moved in and, to be quite honest, I didn't want to be here. My dad brightened up my room with my favorite flowers! Example number 1 million why he is the best man in my life.
I chose to go with a Nautical theme for the floor. This is one of my favorite quotes and I can often hear it read by drunk first years as I'm crawling into bed on a Friday or Saturday night. One girl was reading it (it is right near my door which is the closest door to the stairs) and said "I'm going to read this while I'm drunk and cry." I laughed. I like these ladies I live with.
Please compare my eyes. What do you see? That my left pupil is HUGE!
Here is what happened: I was sitting at work and my vision went a little funny. Interesting, that never happens. Then, all of a sudden, my vision in the left eye shatters and flashes spider webs. Most assuredly not normal. I call my mom, of course, she tells me to call the eye doctor immediately. I do. They want me in asap. Why not? I have nothing better to do. I get a taxi voucher (getting to know the health system at this school quite well) and off to the eye doctor I go! I walk in and just give them a look. Serves me right, last time I was there I told them I hoped to never them again and laughed. How ironic. The eye doctor comes in and assures that this has nothing to do with the eye infection I have been fighting in my other eye for the last three weeks. It is an ocular migraine. Never heard of that before. They didn't tell me that they were dilating my eye, good thing he warned me how huge my pupil was before I left! I would have been in for a nasty surprise. Everyone I talked to that day seemed to enjoy themselves. So, learned something new: if your vision "shatters" like broken glass or keeps flashing you are 1) having a stroke 2) an ocular migraine or 3) tripping on acid (my doctor asked me if I was! Apparently he thought I needed a joke...)
A positive about having your vision go cRaZy?
Seeing this guy:
I'm really not photogenic, sorry.
My mom told him it was probably serious (it is still happening so we will see!) and that he should take the day off in case I needed him. He took a family sick day and came and visited me :) We had lunch, he restocked my fridge, brought homemade cookies from my mom, homemade soup and other delectables. And he bought Winston (my new, rescued gold fish....that is another story!) a glow in the dark plant for his bowl and it looks amazing in the blacklight!!!
Last week I got to see my brother and sister in law (still so Weird to say that!!!) and this week my dad....who knows who this week will bring!!?! :)
May God bless you this week and keep you in the palm of His hand.
