tennessee!

I'm writing this post from the Drury Inn hotel in Nashville, where I've been since last night (Nashville, not the hotel) chilling with my family from Ohio. Today was filled with boat-riding, mall shopping, and outrageously nasty weather. Isn't it supposed to be SPRING? Yeah. That's what I thought.

On the plus side, I've gotten to spend a lot of time with my cousins, Jared and Jonah. Jojo in particular adores me- he's six, way too hyper for his own good, and is absolutely adorable. Observe:

So yes. A good vacation so far. It'll be sad to leave the family tomorrow, but I'm also ready to be back home out of sheer exhaustion! So yeah. Good times in Tennessee, and I'll see all you Georgia folks again soon.

Love from TN.

Too much going on. Must... blog...

And no, no matter what you may be thinking, this blog is not a thinly disguised excuse to procrastinate my homework still further. This is a legit and necessary function of my life. I think that without ranting to the internet, my life would become unbearably dull and I might die.

Things which are going on right now:

• Spring break starts TOMORROW. I am excited.
• I have a ten-paragraph essay test due tomorrow, a math test, and tons of other homework.
• I'm about four paragraphs into that essay test and I've worked on it for almost two hours.
• Jakeandamir.com ISN'T HELPING IN THE ESSAY WRITING PROCESS.
• My back is killing me. I can't get comfortable in any chair or lying down or standing up position. No, guys, I'm not dancing. I'm just trying to stop hurting. x_x
• My mom is making burgers for dinner. Again. I feel like such a fatty.
• I got the cutest new shoes today. 
• I'm officially changing my name to Caro. Caroline sounds too much like an old lady.
• I have to make Stephen's super-secret-and-awesome birthday present tonight.

I'd better start working on some of this stuff.

... Or maybe I'll go have dinner.

Anyone wanna play a game over Facebook?

of doctors and drabness

I spent the whole morning at the pediatrician and, quite honestly, I am unimpressed with what I got out of it:

On the "plus" side, my hand/wrist pain is probably only carpal tunnel (ha. 'only' carpal tunnel) but this means that, at the moment, I don't have to worry about it. And by "don't have to worry", I mean "it's not going to kill me". Of course, this doesn't solve the problem that my hands and wrists randomly hurt for not reason at all, but not knowing what's wrong means that insurance costs less so that makes my mom happy.

Thanks, doc, for not solving the problem I visited you for. I appreciate that. A lot.

He also decided to tell my mother that I'm anemic. THANKS. She's going to be forcing me to eat red meat for the next 100000000 weeks. I mean, I love me a good steak every now and then, but I get the feeling she's going to go all over-the-top and nag me to take my iron supplements and all that good stuff. Ironically, (ha! ironically, get it?) I got more iron from my diet while I was a vegetarian than I do now.

I told my mom not to come into the office with me when she asked me if I wanted her to, and she did it anyway. Stupid. 

I got a shot. I'm not phobic of needles or whatever, but still. It's stupid. AND they took blood out of my finger. Which is gross and annoying.

AND I had to pee in a cup.

I hate doctors, guys. A lot.

At least I got two circus bandaids and a Cinderella sticker.

Don't you think it's time I stop seeing an old, male pediatrician? Yeah. That's what I said, too. x_x
