Yup. That about sums it up. And thanks to all of you who listened to me complain about my arthritis. As I was saying to Mom the other day, I really don't want it to define my life, and shouldn't let it. Its definitely hard to when it flares up as it has been, but thanks to all you amazing people, I don't have to go through this alone, and I don't have to let it hinder my progress in school or as a person. God has really been working for me through this too, by letting somebody bring back $2800 worth of Enbrel back to my Doctor's office and letting me have it. I really don't consider that a coincidence. Anyway, School is tough, but has been good. My A & P (anatomy and physiology) class and my uCore class (basically a ridiculous class that doesn't pertain to my major at all) have been the two toughest of this semester, but I feel like I will end up with decent grades in all. I'm really glad that I am in A & P because it is really the first class that I feel I will need to have to apply later in life. Learning about the human body has been amazing. I mean, everything that has to go on, just to achieve homeostasis is an outstanding process within itself, not including how we deal with sickness and foreign invaders. Blagh! It just blows my mind. anyway, I'm volunteering at a church I've been going to's Harvest Festival tonight with a few friends. Right now I'm going to a thrift store to find a cheap and creative costume. I love you all and hope that you have a Cheery Halloween!
