The BIG 25 and Senioritis
As many of you know, on February 16th, I turned 25. Everyone keeps asking me how it feels to be 25 and I reply with the usual, “No different than it did to be 24.” I suppose there are differences though. My insurance should be going down for starters. Also, I can legally rent a car. Aside from those things, I don’t really feel different. For my birthday, a bunch of Matt and my friends went to Al Pomodoro for a mediocre Italian dinner. Afterwards, we headed over to a really neat bar/lounge place in downtown. We started at Duffy’s and ended up at AVA. Needless to say, I had a grand time.
In other news, I have developed a severe case of senioritis. My last classroom semester is this current semester. In May, I start rotations which I will continue for a year and then I GRADUATE. Typically, a year is too long for me to get really excited over, but in this case, I am thrilled. I am mostly thrilled that my training will be moving into the field and out of the classes. After 7 years of upper level education, I am a little tired of the constant grind of college and all that it entails. No more pencils, no more books…The result is me feeling antsy and not being the best student ever. I am getting by though and Matt enjoys me hanging out with him a little more instead of being buried in a computer screen filled with the latest module’s drugs.
It seems that my lack of school drive has allowed me and Matt to do a good bit of skiing this year. Keep in mind, a good bit of skiing still isn’t much considering our mild winter. We have gone about 6 or 7 times though. Every time, I feel a little bit better about my newly acquired skiing skills. I am not on a black diamond though and poor Matt is constantly skiing backwards and veering off-course just to keep entertained on the easier slopes. I hope that I will be able to ski the crazier slopes with him one year.
Before I turn this post into another novel, I will end on the note of my eyes. They are doing SO much better since the last time I posted. When you last heard from me, my eyes were at a -2.00 and a -2.25 and I was having visual disturbances as a result of the surgery. I can happily say that my disturbances have decreased significantly and my last visit (Friday) resulted in me getting new glasses. My eyes are now a -1.00 and -1.25! The Doctor can’t say for sure if this trend of getting better will continue or if I am leveling off at this strength. I have to keep a close eye on my vision with him over the next 5 months to see what happens. But, having -1.00 vision as compared to my -7.50 is AMAZING. I am maintaining hope that things will continually get better.
