Posty Time

Well, I promised Claire that I would update as soon as she got her butt in gear and did the same. And therefore, after reading about everyone's lives, I'm going to update too! 

School is going really well as far as the school part goes. I love almost all of my classes. The exception being Applied Analysis (CALCULUS!!!). I'm pretty sure I'll love that class too when I finally understand it, but right now, my teacher might as well be speaking Greek! (or rather some sort of Asian language)

As to the rest of my life.... not so great health wise. My back is even worse than when I left Thompson..... Dr P asked me to take Advil as a anti-inflammatory for ten days and then email him with how I was doing. So that is what I did-eed. It didn't work to make a story short. I was leaving classes the beginning of this week because I just couldn't sit anymore.... After about fifteen minutes of sitting, the pain is crazy. 

So, he sent me to a doctor yesterday to get stronger anti-inflammatories. They seem to be working a little bit better. I managed to almost get through my hour math class this afternoon. It still hurts like mad though. I just moved to my bed with my computer (gotta love laptops!) cause I can't sit at my desk anymore. I play lots of video games while lying on the couch now :). 

Aside from that mopey sad stuff, I love my house! I'm in phase three (Bearskin Lake) which is waaaay out and far away from all the other residences. I think the University just got it a couple years ago. As a result, our walls are relatively white still, we've got new-ish kitchen appliances, and not too many holes in the walls! It's wonderful. Plus, my roommates are great. We get along for the most part. Andrew and I still argue like crazy though. Lara and Devin say we act married. I think it's more like brother and sister. With vastly different opinions. :P 

Andrew and Devin are soooo funny. They are both really big gaming geeks. And sci-fi geeks. So they are always talking about Star Trek or WoW or Battlestar Galactica.... You get the point. Lara is the new one. Her little sister was my cubby buddy last year. She is great though. Our personalities don't clash at all which is always a worry of mine with new people. Sadly, she is only here for two months at a time. She leaving for a practical teaching thinger in November, and then comes back for Jan and Feb. 

Ok, I've blabbed on forever now. Or at least I feel like it. I miss everyone tons! You should all come visit me! And I'll take you to an Amethyst mine! How can you turn something like that down?

Love you guys!

PS. Prayer Request: That I don't take everything Andrew says personally and that I can be patient and meek and humble and all those traits that my stubborn personality has problems with. I'm being too defensive with him again this year.... So year. Pray for me when you guys think of it please.

Hey girl! Thanks for the update! I always love to hear what the happenings are in your life! I will most definitely be praying for your relationship with Andrew (because I know that relationships are important.. especially with people that you need to live with..) and of course for your back as well. I have also updated and changed a few things on my blog as well... if you wanted to check it out.
But anyways, I pray that you will have an amazing school year and I am really looking forward to seeing you at Christmas darling! I won't be blogging for a while (since I am not bringing my computer on outreach, and we will be getting back to Belize on November 15th), but still feel free to write on my facebook and email me and such! I would love to come back to a full inbox in November!
Anywho, if you talk to anyone back home or to your family say hi for me and give them my love! Many blessings Melissa! (and hugs!)
