I'm still alive, I promise!

A lot has happened since the last entry, so allow me to catch up on a couple things here!

• I am finally enrolled into college as a Freshman! No more stupid concurrent enrollment stuff.
• I turned 18 on August 2nd! I don't feel very different but there are so many things I can do now, like buy scratch lottery tickets at a local gas station. 
• My boyfriend is moving to a town called Stillwater to attend college. :( Today was the last day I got to see him. I will get to see him eventually and we may even Skype.
• I bought a new cell phone! One with more RAM than my old phone, which means more posts!
• I started a daily journal (a physical one) so I could keep track of my ideas and other nonsense that I want to post online.
• I finally got around to cleaning my room, now I just need to organize it a little better. ;)

So, there's all the catch-up, now to the real post!

Yesterday my boyfriend and I went to SkyZone to jump on the trampolines and spend more time with each other before he travels off to OSU. I'll surely miss him, but we're definitely closer than we ever have been. We tell each other secrets, "I love yous", and promises. Colleges with dorms are more different than colleges without, so he promised me to never start drugs, drinking, or cheating. It makes me feel more secure when he tells me these things so I can count on him to keep his promise. There have been times where promises were broken (and even hearts), but I'm just glad that we're together now. :) And for any readers out there, love is inevitable, you will experience the happiness and pains it comes with, but eventually you'll find "the one" and they will find You. 

Jumping at the trampoline park brought so many memories (in my journal I wrote this word with a green pen) of my childhood. Now that I'm 18, I forgot about my childhood. Descending and ascending on the trampolines made me remember about the times I would jump on my best friend's trampoline at her house while spending the night. I miss those days. Life goes by a lot faster than I thought. I remember when I would wish Oh, if I were 16... or Geez, I can't wait until I'm 18 so I can get away from here... I'm really glad I didn't take that too seriously because now I'm happy at where I'm at. I have food, a bed, plenty of pets, air conditioner (thank goodness, because it's like 90+ degrees). We might not have a lot of money, but we do have necessities. Be thankful! 

Sickness and in Strength?

Lately my expectations of summer plummeted. I went to the clinic Tuesday morning and had a strep and mononucleosis test done. Both came back positive. :( This now explains why I've been sleeping 13+ hours and not eating.
This is the fifth time I've had strep in a year. My mom and I finally came to a conclusion and decided that when I'm not longer sick, we're going to schedule an appointment with an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) surgeon to have my tonsils removed. I don't like surgeries (had my wisdom teeth pulled out in 2013), but if it will get rid of this horrible on-and-off sickness, that'd be just peachy.
Since strep is curable, I've been taking penicillin pills for it. But mono is not curable with a medication; it just has to run its course. Its been pretty strong at certain times of the day and knocks me out cold. Other times I feel wide awake and ambitious. (And I thought my period was wack.)
Hopefully I'll start to feel better by July because I start college and my CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) course. I am super excited to become a nurse! I have to work at a nursing home for a while then I want to switch over to a pediatric hospital (St. Francis). I'll be making more money than I did working at Sonic or McDonald's and be able to afford more kawaii and Japanese things! Also, I need to save up for my trip to Japan. Should I buy squishies while I'm there? Would anyone want some (Instagram friends? Penpals?) Does anyone even read this?
My boyfriend did come over for a long time though which made me a very happy girl. :) He and I would cuddle in my bed and watch YouTube videos (mainly Jacksepticeye and Pewdiepie) until we both fall sleep.
