I'M GOING TO BE ON TV.
So it’s just local news, but still… CBS IS COMING TO MY (dad’s) HOUSE. CBS is interviewing me about the fundraiser I am doing — 140 Days. I’m super excited because every little bit helps. And I’m going to need a lot of help to accomplish this goal. I’m not sure when this will be on TV, but I’ll let you know when I do!
so this whole me begging the internets for money...
First, yes, I’m going to continue at this until I can reach some sort of goal. I’m aiming for full tuition, but if I can get this first quarter covered and make my deposit to hold my spot… I’ll be ecstatic. I will probably cry. No joke. That’s how much this means to me.

I’ve gotta finish Middlesex. Then I have the three books I just checked out: Living Dead in Dallis - Charlaine Harris (no, I haven’t read the first, I’m too impatient to wait for it to come in) All the Pretty Horses - Cormac McCarthy Why Evolution is True - Jerry A.

So thanks to my amazing friend Dani, I’ve been introduced to this extremely crazy, jam-packed 1 year course that has the possibility to completely revamp my portfolio and just really make it sparkle. The deadline for the next semester was yesterday… however in red letters next to it, it says “deadline extended”. So I’ve contacted them asking for more info and such. So...

a new pill
so the medicine I’ve been on since mid-December is basically a hormone therapy. And while it’s worked to keep the pain levels under control, and basically , so far, eliminate my cycle… it’s had a not so fun side effect. It’s definitely made me more emotional. To the point of where I’m going to call the doctor/consult the info sent with the pill to see if this...
