blank


"Whats in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet."
William Shakespeare

Honestly, I don't have anything to write about...so this blog will be extra extra extra random and boring...

So today is Friday August 22nd. The last day to this horrible week at home I've had. I haven't stood inside of my house every single day like this in forever. I feel like a 10 year old who isn't allowed to go anywhere but school and / or the home of a family member. Sunday is the last day I'll be taking my medication, which mean Monday i can finally get out of this house.

I never thought I'd actually be happy to wake up and go to twirling practice, but I am. Not only am i stoked [yes, I actually used the word stoked] to finally get out of this house, but I need to catch up on all I've missed!

My "out of the house-ness" will surely be off to a slow start though. Tomorrow I probably won't go anywhere [unless my boyfriend calls me and can come see me] but to the eye doctor to pick up my contacts. Sunday I MIGHT go to six flags. Monday, practice and probably nothing more.

Tuesday should be much more exciting though as I'm going shopping :] I haven't been shopping like all summer, I was at camp every day so I had no time and no need to go shopping. But now school is starting , so I get to do oober shopping !

Speaking of that, does anyone else feel like this summer went by extremely quick.? We're already going back to the hell hole and let me tell you, I am NOT looking forward to going back to THS in a week and a half. I am however excited that its my last year being there :]

Okay well I guess I'm done boring you with my randomness. I do however have to write one more thing or my quote wont make any sense; i LOVE Shakespeare .!

Theres something wrong with everyone.




"In hell there is no other punishment than to begin over and over again the tasks left unfinished in your lifetime."
Andre Gide Quotes

Yesterday was a long, long, long, day. It started out with our (twirlings) first day of hell week. I don't think anyone on earth looks forward to hell week. It's a week where team members feel as though they are in actual hell and cannot feel any part of their body, a week where captains get to watch the people beneath them sweat and cry and complain. Yesterday, I was the sweat-er, the cry-er, and the complain-er. Little did I nor anyone else know that I wasn't just complaining to get out of hell week; apparently something was wrong.

So after practice I run off to the ER thinking they'll just tell me I'm dehydrated or something like that. They didn't tell me that. Instead they sent me to go get chest X-Rays, took my blood, performed and EKG test, sent me through a cat scan. and injected iodine / dye into my body through an IV. The outcome was a diagnosis of Pleurisy which is "a swelling or irritation of the lining of the chest cavity and lungs. Pleurisy causes sharp chest pain that is worse when breathing in (inhaling)"

They told me to take it easy for a few days, not to do a thing that would cause me to take a deep breath. So now im on Meds twice a day . No twirling practice, have to stay in bed an relax, basically, can't do shit.
