So, I had my knee scope last friday morning, around the beginning of my Christmas Break. Yay, right? Oh, definately. 7 am was when it was scheduled to be done... that comes WAY too early in the morning! Well, everything went swimmingly... there was a little more damage to my meniscus than they originally though, prompting them to make another incision in my knee to help them remove it or whatever. anyway, pictures:

This is my knee Friday afternoon when we finally got to my grandma's in Overland Park. She doesn't have any steps where she lives really, so we opted to stay there instead of at our house in Olathe where we have stairs everywhere. Crutches and me are an interesting combination!


This is my knee last night. I just took off the bandages (it was a large ace bandage wrapped over a huge padded thing with layers and layers and layers of gauze underneath to cath the bleeding... which it looks like the cut right below my knee cap did a lot). It has been itching like crazy!!

Today I was walking without my crutches a few times. It was nice... Still limping a bit and can't put full pressure on it, but the fact that it is only about 3 days after the surgery is awesome.

We're going down to Norman, OK for Christmas (and by 'we' I mean me, my mom, and my grandma... plus the two dogs) because my sister can't get off work to come home. It's not the first time we've spent Christmas down there, so it's not that big of a change. Plus it's the first Christmas without my grandpa so thats another reason why we're all going down. Thats basically my entire family right there. Yeah... we're pretty small. A good thing though is that there isn't a ton of us you have to remember if you were to meet the entire family!!

So, I think that my mini dachshund is scared of my crutches. Like... it's kinda funny. I'll be walking and he like, runs away from me when I'm on them... but like right now, he's basically sleeping on me. He makes me laugh. Max is a goofy dog.

My grades were good - Accounting wasn't my best subject, but my gpa for this semester was a 3.11 or so. 7 classes, 6 of them beings A's and B's... we're not going to touch the accounting class though. Math isn't my best subject!!

Oh well... on an ending note, My toes are freezing and I'm incredibly bored.

Later Loves!!

Ok, so I have 2 hours between classes. Like, we got out extremely early from my speech lecture because we were doing GA evaluations. Not that I mind, mind you. I really liked my GA, so I gave her good marks and some good comments as well.

I cannot wait for Christmas Break though! Don't get me wrong... About @ weeks into break I'll be wanting to come back to Pitt because my loving family will be getting on my nerves, but I just need a hiatus from school. I'm sad about it though at the same time - several of my friends will be graduating and I won't be able to see them walk. =( I'll miss Jessica and Penny... and everyone else thats leaving me, but esp them. They've been my partners in crime for a while now and it'll be weird not to have them in SAVE or any other psych of JS class!!

I'm really tired... I suppose Dead Week is suppose to be like this, but give me a break... it's Monday. That's what I'll blame it on - Monday! One would THINK it'd be fine because you get the weekend to catch up on sleep... but what college student does that? Okay, okay, there are several that DO do that, but wheres the fun in it?

SAI is putting on a Music camp for k-5 for some of the surrounding elementary schools on Feb. 7th. I think it'll be incredibly fun, but am nervous as to what may happen on the actual day when we get ready and are in full alert for anything to wrong. Isn't it the saying that Anything that COULD go wrong, will? Ya... perhaps I'm worried about that then. I just don't want it to. There's been 4 of us working on really hard on details and everything since we came up with the idea in like, September or October. Can't remember. But we've been having weekly meetings OUTSIDE of the regular SAI meetings and Mel is still concerned about me being too involved. Haha. I like being hyper-involved... Mainly so I won't get bored.

Ok, So I just went off on a 20 minute goose chase, looking for pictures to put on here since I SAID I would in the beginning but have failed to these past SEVERAL posts. I promise... I'll try!! I have some really cute ones of Max (my dachshund) and Ginger (Mel's cat), but the internet and my phone aren't currently talking. So, I'll try again later, okay?

Later Loves!
