One week of Christmas break is done already! That’s not good. At all. I don’t ever want to go back. 
Though I’m not sure why. I got my grades on Thursday and I did a lot better than I thought I was going to do. I got an A in Christian Apologists. Let me rephrase that: I got an A in the most important class I will take for my undergraduate degree. Never in a million years did I think I would pull an A. Other class turned out good too. I got an A- in Spanish, a B in Microeconomics, and a B in Financial Markets (somehow). I’m on a hot streak all of a sudden. My overall GPA is up to a 3.4. I’m amazed at the grace God’s pouring out on my grades. I’m waiting for someone to tell me it’s a typo.
This Wednesday I went to youth group with my sister and Sarah Fearon. Yay for being back in high school! Okay, before you start thinking that my New England social life is really as lame as I claim it to be (no offense to Sarah or Alison), let me explain. This youth group is being led by Eric Stillman (and the junior high group is headed up by his wife Michele), the youth leader who led the youth group I was in during my senior year of high school. It’s a different group in a different town for a different church but it’s still Eric and Michele. I think it had been a year and a half since I’d last seen them. And I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that Michele is pregnant! Right now it is called Newt based on what the sonogram pictures look like.
Oh, and if you’re reading this and you went to Eric’s old youth group I’ve got a little news to pass along to you. There’s going to be a reunion party on Wednesday, December 29. That’s all I know. I don’t know where or at what time or what we’re doing. I do know the dog will be there. 
And I’ve been told that by then Michele should know if Newt is a he or a she. So if you still talk to other people who were in that youth group let them know too. I’ll pass along more info when I get it.
That, in a roundabout way, leads us to today. I had two appointments with two doctors resulting in medication changes galore! My dilantin (seizure meds) dose is down to 350 mg, so hopefully some of the side effects (trouble concentrating, trouble sleeping) will subside. But I’m now taking 1 mg of folic acid each day. You see, unbeknownst to me until today, after you’ve taken dilantin for five or more years you have a tendency to become anemic. More pills! Just what I wanted. Oh well, seems to be the story of my life. Just filling in a another hole in the dam that is my health and well-being.
Christmas Eve is in one week! Start getting excited!
