yesterday I had the worst headache EVER. I think it was the sinus variety and was just so painful! At lunch I went to CVS to get some medicine and came across this stuff called “BC” but had no idea it was a powder! So there I was, in the CVS parking lot (trying to waste no time managing the headache before my 1pm meeting) with powder everywhere, trying to down it, afraid someone will think I’m using drugs, get accidentally arrested, etc. All these thoughts are going through my mind at this point.
And then, it hardly even worked!! Maybe for 2ish hours but by the time I went home back to pain. So I found some Aleve, drank some tea, did my nasal flush (kind of odd but it does work) and I woke up this morning and I’m fine! Whatever was in the air has probably cleared out but it’s so much nicer.
Probably not that interesting to write, but that’s mostly all that I can come up with this morning. 
I did go speak to my high school cross country team on Saturday. They are running in districts today in fact and it was really good! They actually listened. I won state in the 800m my senior year and apparantly it’s turned into a “legend” of sorts around there (which I find HILARIOUS) but they asked good questions and it’s neat to be able to help and motivate people.
And I’m hoping to see Sean this weekend! Hope it works out.
my poor blog has been neglected due to lack of home internet. that stupid key index issue still has not been resolved.
Otherwise I would probably blog about my newfound love that is the DVR. I was even reluctant to get cable, but it was hardly anything extra to get the DVR so I thought, why not? and what a great, great invention!!
Also, does this election seem more contentious than most? I know, I know, McCain left the 2000 election b/cs of a nasty rumor about him having a secret black love child baby. That’s pretty nasty. But I keep hearing people describe this as the ‘most important election of our lifetime’ and that’s a pretty hefty statement!
I do realize with the economy, the war, several social issues, and aging Supreme Court justices that could very well be the case but WOW. Each election seems like the lesser of two evil for me anyway.
PS: I got to play ultimate on Monday!! There are people who play ultimate in Shreveport!!!! And a cold front came in last night–makes it chilly but it’s nice too.
so the wireless Internet I’m paying for at my apartment won’t work on a mac!! The technical support guy says on Macs it’s really hard to change the “WEP Key Index code” Macs are always on 1 but for this it needs to always be on 2. what the heck?? Why would they set up a wifi network at a RESIDENTIAL property knowing people have all kinds of computers?! I called the local apple reseller service guy and he never called me back.
Does anyone know how to change this?? It’s a huge pain. Overall I do like macs but lately….sheesh….
Other than that, the apartment is very nice and I’m so glad to be finally in!
I finally made it here, started work Monday, and move into my apartment tomorrow. So far, so good. I like Shreveport and seriously guys, it’s not what you’re thinking when, it’s actually pretty nice! Everywhere has scarier parts, that’s just life.
There’s more to come soon, but I’m trying to take everything in and am learning so much!
