Re-cap!

A quick summary of what has happened since last time:

The plan to start going to the gym has failed. I wasn't able to attend the first 'free' week of classes offered at the RPAC. Since my roommate had meningitis, I figured that it would be best not to risk spreading it to half of campus. (She is now back to 100% and in Columbus again!)Thankfully, no one else contracted it. However, my motivation to exercise went right out the window.

An update on my health: I went to the neurologist last week. He feels that my left-sided facial numbness is branching from migraines. He put me on a preventative medication that seems to be working to stop my daily headaches. I increased my dose, as instructed, on Monday and have had a hard time waking up to my alarm in the morning since. Hopefully, my body will get used to the medication and I won't be as tired as I am now. But, I figure being tired is better than constant headaches and not being able to feel half of my face. I still have to see the neurosurgeon on Monday to assess my malformation and get a plan of care. Fun.

I started classes a few weeks ago. They're taking up a lot more time than I expected. I have a self-explored career development class that is on Monday nights, and Intro to Glass Blowing - class is on Thursday nights and Saturdays from 9 - 3. I also have to go on Tuesdays for my 'blow slot' which is my only dedicated hot lab time. With some help from this new medication - I have absolutely no motivation to go. I have a lot of work ahead of me...
