Without Anyone Holding My Hand

A lot has happened this past week or so. Last week I spent my days laying on my folks couch thanks to a nice case of bronchitis. I've never had it before and it wasn't quite as much fun as pneumonia, but it was a close second. My doctor gave me some steroids so it would go away faster and I would stop wheezing. Long story short I spent the first three days or so in a ridiculously hyper state of being. I started taking the pills on Friday and from Friday night until about Tuesday I had slept a total of 11 hours. I will admit it was pretty cool to feel like I could run around like crazy and sleep three hours a night and function normally, but now that I stopped the pills this morning I am kinda crashing and that is less fun. Monday was probably the funniest day of the six. I came home from work super hyper! I was talking faster than usual (which is like warp speed as anyone who knows me knows) and I was being really crazy. I'm pretty sure I scared the crap out a few people...which is always fun. Anyways now that my adventure is over I am kind of sad to see the energy go, but also happy to start sleeping more than 4 hours a night and being able to take naps again =) So the lesson here kids is don't take the roids lightly...they are pretty intense even in small doses!
I'm feeling very independent these past few days. I really feel like I'm getting things organized and being a grown-up. I've been taking my vitamins, flying solo a lot more at work, and staying on top of the million little things on my to-do list. I realize these are not huge things in life, but I figure you gotta start small. Maybe another reason I'm feeling grown-up is because I have the apartment to myself all weekend. It's a completely different feeling to always have a roommate and then live alone for bit. I don't think I could ever live alone all the time because I'd miss having someone to talk to randomly, but I guess for now some alone time to relax and just be is nice. I'm going work on looking for jobs this weekend and trying to get some interviews lined up for over spring break. It's only 70 days till graduation today so I guess I'd better get rolling...and yes I am totally keeping count!
