Chewing pencils and three inch textbooks.

This has possibly been the most stressful week of my life. I'm sleep deprived, overwhelmed, and homesick. Only 6 days and a wake up until I can go home for Labor Day weekend. Thank. God.

I'm 99.9% sure that my clinical will be on the day that I wanted (Tuesday), which is really good. This will leave my Thursdays completely open after these first five weeks are over! It'll be so nice to have a break.

I had to go back to Hometown yesterday to get those retainers. Unfortunately, the company that makes the retainers messed up the bottom one, so I'll have to go back and get the correct one later. My orthodontist said the one I have now will do (it's going to fix two of three teeth that need fixing) so it's no rush to get the new one.

After Hometown, I went to dinner with a friend I've been talking to for a couple of weeks. Afterwards, we went to the local hookah joint for awhile. I had a really good time with him and I hope I get to see him again.

I'm hoping to go to AnyTown University's rival (we'll call it Rival City) tomorrow with some old friends and a new friend that I made over the summer in NewTown. I have an itch to go to a club and I don't think I can wait till Labor Day.

I survived the first week. I am so relieved. This weekend should be pretty easygoing. I hope I can get all my reading done by Sunday!

This is me, and I'm just alive.
