So the other day I had issues breathing because I kept on having to swallow back mucus in my throat. I went to an urgent care clinic yesterday and felt like such a hypochrondriac. In comparison to the other patients, my health issue was mild.

As it turns out, my problem was allergies and I was sent away with two prescriptions that were too expensive for me to buy. I guess companies who make medicine think money comes out of nowhere.

Last night, I fell asleep at around ten. It was much earlier than I usually fall asleep, but I hadn't slept well this past week and I needed the extra sleep.

I'm almost finished with rereading Carlos Ruiz Zafon's The Shadow of the Wind. The translation from Spanish is excellent. I highly recommend it. Read it if you get a chance. I use my other blog and write a review of it when I'm finished. I'll also be rereading the Harry Potter books next so I can have them fresh in my mind before I see the final movie.

That's all on my mind for now.

Okay, so after six months, I'm updating. What have I been up to?

1. Finished two semesters. I'm just a summer session and a semester away from a BA. Woohoo!

2. Went to a foreign country for the first time: England in March.

3. Have gotten further in my book. Now I'm past 26,000 words and I have no clue how long the first draft will be.

4. Turned 21, though I suppose that's only relevant if I was more of a drinker. I can get into more concerts and music shows now.

5. Visited a graduate program I'm interested in. I liked the campus and I still have to make an appointment to visit Truman State.

6. Been studying for the GRE. :(

7. Not much else.

If anybody else reads this, what have you been up to?
