Apartment hunting is pure hell

I'm currently looking for apartments around my college to live in my junior and senior year. For all those that have never done it before...it is not fun. My older brother and I planned to be roommates so I've been looking for two bedroom ones. I had been looking everyday for a month and had yet to find anything. I pretty much exhausted Craigslist. Yesterday after riding around I finally found the most perfect house, conveniently located and conveniently priced. Then my brother backed out of me in favor of living with a friend. So now I'm both homeless and roommate-less. Hopefully things turn around and soon. For now its back to square one...searching for more apartments.

Sorority...to rush or not to rush

When I was a freshman I had no desire to join the Greek system. After two years of watching girls sport sorority attire and the bonds of sisterhood, I'm starting to reconsider my decision. As a junior I'm now faced with the decision to rush or not to. Typically upperclassmen do not receive bids as easily as  freshmen from what I've heard. There are pros and cons to rushing for me.

Pros:

• Big group of friends/sisters
• Connections for my future
• Social activities
• Fun
• Service

Cons:

• Cost a good bit of money
• Big time commitment
• Might not get a bid anyways after I spend the money to rush

Although I feel it would be fun and the pros outweigh the cons as anyone can see above, I probably will not rush. As a college student and a junior at that I have to focus on school. I'm down to my classes specifically for my major.  Plus I have rent to pay and bills. Gosh I just don't know what to do.

So it has been awhile....

Looking back on my last post I realize it has been forever and a day since I have blogged. So much has happened in my life that blogging just kind of took a backseat. I switched schools again...I know, I know... so indecisive. I'm finally at a college for good. I'll be starting my junior year soon...so excited! My boyfriend and I broke up for a couple months but recently reconnected and started dating again. I spent time with old and new friends. I've had the time of my life. I've experienced so much and learned so many lessons. I even went to Dayglow or Life in Color as its now called. So fun!!!

 My semester ended and then I went to have sinus surgery performed. My doctor recommended I go to an ENT who then decided sinus surgery would be the best thing. They were both under the assumption that bacteria in my sinuses were reinfecting my lungs causing exacerbations. They thought maybe it would help my CF. It seemed like a simple procedure. The ENT even said that I would most likely keep getting the procedure because I wanted it! He said it would make me feel so much better. The place I had my surgery at was two hours away from my home. I arrived and got prepped for surgery. I went back and they started putting something through my IV, not sure what but it made me very calm. I  heard the doctors talking but couldn't really understand. A surgery that wasn't suppose to take very long ended up taking several hours. In recovery my mom was told they wanted to transport me to a hospital. My doctor from home called my mom and let her know my oxygen was low before surgery and dropped pretty low during surgery. None of the people at the surgery place bothered to tell us before or during the surgery. Needless to say I went home that day, not the hospital, but was on oxygen for weeks after the surgery.  My functions plummeted from the 50s to the low 30s. I was in bad shape. I had to go in for a PICC line a couple days after.

 The sinus headaches never went away and I never felt better. My functions are back up but I would not consider getting the surgery again. I recently had to go back to the ENT where they removed scabs from inside my sinuses. If you look close you can see the red light shining through my mouth, nose, and eyes.

 I  wonder if anyone else had an experience like mine. I am going to get back on my blogging game. I just feel like my life isn't exciting enough to blog all the time but I'll try.
