UPDATE: So...yeah. Long time no talk to almost anyone.  School consumes my time. I go to class, grab food, go to meetings, and fall into bed when I get home at night. But I really don't sleep all that well. Then I get up and do it again the next day. It's monotonous, yes, but it's what I've chosen to do. And I'm going to stick to it whether I like it or not.

I'm active in clubs, yes, but I haven't really necessarily made friends, per se. I'm going to a job fair this week, so that ought to be interesting with my bare-bones resume at the ready.  Yeah, about my roommates...one of them is an exchange student, so she hangs out with her Brazilian friends all the time, one of them is a double-engineering major and seems to have something of a God-complex (she looks down on the rest of us quite a bit, I think) and the other one has just annoyed me. If you really want details, note me.

School is good, it's just everything outside of classes and being actively engaged in something that stuff gets to me.  Chem is a nightmare thus far.  There's a possibility I might drop the course again and just take it in the summer somewhere else.  My problem is I can't find someone who can explain it to me in a way that I understand. Bleh.

I'm thinking this is just overwhelming stress from being in a new environment and a new situation, but I've taken a bit of a physical decline, health-wise.  I'm starting to lose weight in my legs, because walking to the halls where classes are held is about a quarter- to a half-mile walk both ways, and that's good.  But my digestive system hasn't been cooperating with me.  I'm trying probiotics to regulate my system and make sure I can keep food inside me.  There've been days where I think I was a bit dehydrated from being so sick; I started shaking and was incredibly dizzy.  So I try to drink as much water as possible to compensate for that possibility.

Last night, there was a bit of a scare. I'm home for the weekend, which is good. I was talking with Josh on the phone and all of a sudden, my chest tightened up and I couldn't breathe. I started literally gasping for air.  Now, when I've had panic attacks in the past, I was still able to function normally despite the tightness in my chest. What happened last night felt like my ribs were impaling my heart.  It was incredibly painful. Josh stayed on the phone, he stayed with me until his battery died. He said it was scaring him to hear me like that, and Josh is not someone who gets scared easily. I felt horrible for scaring him, but I was just...ugh. I did manage to take something for it and I'm feeling the residuals today, but it's a lot better compared to yesterday.  It probably would've been worse had Josh not been talking on the phone with me. He's unbelievable; I don't know what I'd do without him. :heart:

For the most part, I guess, I'm okay.  There've been a lot of moments where I didn't think things were okay at all.  But I'm doing my best.

I miss everyone here and I'll try to be around as much as I can. I swear. :tighthug: :heart: I hope you're all doing well. I love you all.
