Here comes the winter storm!

We are expecting a winter storm from noon until 6 a.m. tomorrow. If we stay above freezing, it might not be so bad. That's what I'm hoping. I still feel sick and now, I'm having stomach cramps and nausea. I feel miserable and can't wait until this passes. I just want to get back to my life. I am working on projects for my work while at home and I completed my assignments for class early. I want to keep my average up so as to obtain scholarships.

On a happy note, in one month is Spring Break! My cousin Leesa and I are going to be in Eureka Springs for most of the week. We are staying at a Best Western. On the way back, we are visiting Grove, Oklahoma for the day.

Next month is going to be a busy month. On March 9-10, I am volunteering at the Big 12 conference at the BOK Center. I am truly excited to put this experience on my resume. On the 15th, I am going on a bus tour sponsored by Tulsa Community College to see the Mother Road. We will have Michael Wallis, the voice of the sheriff in the movie, Cars.

On March 27th, I am going to my neurologist to talk about where we go from here. My seizures are better controlled now and I know my triggers; hormones and stress. He has said I will remain on Lamictal, but may be taken off Topamax. I only take Topamax when my seizures spike since it tends to cause the "Dory syndrome," ie, forgetfulness.

So that's my life right now. April 1st, we will be having a spring carnival that I am volunteering with in the Commons at my college. That is also the day that enrollment for summer/fall opens. I will be enrolling in The Connection both semesters and this fall, I will be a full-time student so as to be eligible for scholarships.

The classes I'm considering:

summer--Honors Connection
               TBA (depending on what I get into)

 fall--      Honors Connection   
              Spanish 1
              Principles of Advertising
              Videography (for my digital media certificate)
 

I will keep you updated...

Day 14 of my #30daybloggingchallenge Three healthy habits

I have started to try to incorporate more healthy habits into my life as of late. Here are three. 1. Get to bed at a decent hour. I used to stay up until after midnight every night, just surfing the net and watching television. Now, I try to get in bed by 10:30 or 11 p.m. at the latest. Getting more sleep allows me to be more productive the next day. 2. Drinking more water. I have started drinking more water. I prefer bottled water or sparkling water, I  do not like the water from the tap in my area; it has a strange taste. My mom dislikes tap water too and keeps bottled water around for that reason. 3. Get some exercise in daily. Whether it be going back to the gym or going to the park or stretches here, I try to do something. I've been doing house cleaning daily this week and that requires lots of exercise on my part. What are your three healthy habits?

Finish strong!

We're down to the last few weeks folks! I have to finish my editorial on the college admissions scandal this weekend and this month will be attending a religious service for intercultural communication. On the 18th, I will be attending the Campus Activities Board for student leadership recognition and then a gala for winning a scholarship! This has been a challenging semester with lots of illness and pain, but I can see the light. I will have three weeks off until my summer classes start. I am taking Social Media Marketing and Honors TCC Connection. My job requires all students working there to enroll in a class each semester to advance their learning. In the fall, I am taking Principles of Advertising, Honors TCC Connection, Digital Photography, and Japanese I. Wish me luck! Gabrielle

Sick day

I'm home sick for a couple of days. I've had chills, cramps (that time is coming), coughing, sneezing, and sinus headache. Basically, I feel like hell. My boss told me to stay home until I'm better, so I'm working from home. I finished all my assignments well ahead of time and am doing well in my classes. So I've earned a day or two off. I'm going to try to be back in Wednesday, but we'll see how I feel. Just a blah day.....
