Well, my swimming career is now officially over. I would write more about it, but I'm doing pretty good right now keeping busy so it's hard to even notice that I'm not doing it anymore...it's just wonderful that I have more time and energy to do things!
This weekend we had a three day weekend which was awesome cuz our professors had a faculty development day on Friday! It was awesome! I milked it for all it was worth. I cut a few people's hair, dyed one guys' hair, and listened to our Whitworth basketball team on the internet FINALLY crush the UPS team, who had the top seed. Now our guys are going to the NCAA tournament!! yay! Thankfully they have their first tournament game at our home court so I'll definitely be cheering them on on Thursday night, soooo excited.
My cell phone, which had been lost previously for about two weeks, was finally brought back to the info desk this weekend (thank you Whitworth Christian kids who for the most part feel bad if they don't return lost items :)...haha!). Thankfully I got to talk to my mom who I hadn't really gotten to have a conversation with for a while due to the time limits from using other people's phones. My parents are spending the next week or two I think in Palm Springs again...pretty jealous that she gets to see sun. Oh well. I also got my car back from the shop for the weekend to be able to get around. It died on Saturday and then I finally got it to start up randomly today, so I returned it to the dealers. blah.
Tonight I have to write a CORE paper and then do an assignment for Organizational Theory....my excitement for this is overwhelming....I think my case of Senioritis is starting to kick in. :( Not Good.
So this past weekend was very interesting. Friday night, one of the boys on the swim team came back from a basketball game not feeling well. It started at dinner where he had a headache, then his speech started to slur, then parts of his body started to go numb and he started shaking. It was really scary. The dorm medic took him to the hospital and Justin and I followed and stayed with him till midnight that night. The nurses had to get people to restrain Matt because he was shaking so much and wouldn't lie down. It was the craziest thing. Then, while me and Justin were sitting in the Emergency room, the stupid monitors in the waiting room kept flashing the symptoms of a stroke over and over again so we were scared out of our minds that Matt was having a stroke. Thankfully this was not the case. In fact, the doctors couldn't even figure out WHAT it was. He got a spinal tap to see if it was meningitis, but that tested negative, and then they tried a whole bunch of other virus tests, blood tests, etc. Everything came up negative. So The rest of the team visited the hospital all of the next day. As the day went on Matt became more coherent and started drinking more water and sleeping and then got better. It was so weird; but it definitely brought the team back together to support Matt when for a while now, conference has been over with so some people kinda go their seperate ways. But yea, that was quite the crazy event. Also, that same day, a whole bunch of swimmers went skiing and snowboarding for Kath's birthday. Justin ended up breaking his pinky finger....(this unfortunately is a pretty typical thing to happen to him..he's kinda brittle. haha.) So he ended up joining Matt at the hospital so we were all just one big happy swimming clan at the hospital this weekend haha!
Last night I had a nightmare, which I tend to have a lot less often now that I am older, but that was scary. I gotta take a little bit of the blame for this however because me and a whole bunch of people were going through a season of 24 over the weekend, and it's I guess not a very good idea for me to watch that show right before bed. I always get similarly themed nightmares about robbers coming in and hurting or killing my family. It's so not cool and unfortunately feels very real when I get them. This dream was slightly different though because I wasn't just sitting or hiding anywhere while this was happening, like I normally am in previous nightmares. This time I had a gun, it was very strange. I was also VERY ANGRY for anyone even laying a finger on my family members. I remember waking up in a sweat and thinking, "wow, I didn't think I could feel so much anger in myself!" But yeah, it was weird and scared me, so I'm not going to expand much further on that.
This week I've got lots of papers and assignments due on wednesday. So I'm gonna go charge ahead and work on those now. To everyone out there, goodnight!
