Memorial Week

This blog isn't as late as I have posted before (like on the following Saturday mornings...), but I type this now because I've been on the road since about 9 a.m. this morning making my way for home. Currently I'm sitting out on my front porch back in The Dalles and loving every minute of it.

Let's just say I really, really needed to come home this memorial day weekend.

But the reason for it being a memorial week for me rather than a day was because I went to the doctor on the SOU campus and was diagnosed with mono with my sore throat and fevers and what not. So basically I have missed out on all my classes this week and can no longer participate in my Rock Climbing class because of my spleen.

If you're confused, I'll explain.

Mono is basically a virus disease which is ONLY contagious through saliva (thus being known as the "Kissing Disease"). But I'm pretty sure some jerk at the Rock gym just spat on his hands before climbing a rock and that's how I got it. Or on a bathroom stall door handle. I DON'T KNOW, I can't remember back that many weeks ago of how I first got this.
Anyway, the Mono virus usually enlarges one's spleen and liver and if either get ruptured due to extreme exercise, alcohol or tylenol (or anything else that damages the liver/spleen)...then that's bad. Could go to the hospital for that one and I don't have the time for that.

So this weekend I plan to do nothing but relax and enjoy the fact that I'm home.

In other academic news, I get interviewed for my Theatre Major next week! Pretty sure I'll get in since my grades are decent enough and I haven't really ticked anybody off to have them not want me in the department (at least I don't think I've angered somebody THAT much....have I?)

Next week, for sure, I will get back on my game of going back to classes. Though it is convenient to have Mono during the end of Spring Term where it isn't required as much to go to classes.

Oh well, I'll catch you later guys!
