Back To The Grind

Well, I am finally back at Tech after missing two weeks of classes and then Thanksgiving break. I was away from Tech for over three weeks and it was the worst three weeks of my life. After 6 days in the hospital and then two weeks stuck at home with zero energy I was ready to get my butt back to college. The drive back was definitely a long one. Usually it takes about 3 and a half hours to get here from my house, but this time it took us over 5 hours because 81 was stop and go traffic the majority of the time. It was killing me sitting in the car; I just wanted to unpack all of my stuff back into my dorm room and then go see everyone that I hadn't seen for practically a month. Being back was a weird feeling after being away for so long. I got into bed the first night back and felt like I was back to the first night after moving into the dorm in August. It felt like I wasn't suppose to be here because I was gone for so long. I was back to that feeling of being dropped off at college for the first time and I started missing home once again. However, once I fell into my normal routine on Monday it felt like home again. I got to see tons of people and go to classes again and it just felt great to finally be back to what I was normally doing before I got deathly sick. The only bad thing about missing so much school is making everything I missed up. Luckily, I am caught up in three of my five classes already. I took "incompletes" in two of my classes (bio and calc) which means that I have until the end of the spring semester to finish the class. It makes things a little less stressful but it is definitely not going to be easy. I am just ready for winter break already and just get all of this over with. I am not allowed to over stress out myself or my body which is difficult with all of the things I have to do between now and the end of the semester, but I have plenty of support and people to help me along the way. I will be back on my feet very soon. I am just so happy to be back in this beautiful place!!
