Nightschool Update!

Hello Fuzz!

Okay, so as I promised, I'm back to talk about nightschool so far.

Cons:

  • Basically no nighttime TV
  • Sports are all messed up and are early in the morning
  • Wake up -> do homeowork -> school -> eat -> sleep -> repeat
  • Night is my favorite time of day. I don't want to be in school during my fav time of day.
  • Forget afterschool stuff
  • Lunch is at 2..... I get home at 8 and eat lunch at noon...
  • I miss seeing my freinds' faces everyday and while passing by them in the hall :(

Pros:

  • I actually get math because I'm more awake
  • I get 2 days to do my homework (core classes are on "B" days)
  • The bus ride is much more calm
  • There are windows
  • I can stay up late... for now (until sports season starts next week)

As you can see, this is definately a change.... Boy do I miss seeing some people's faces :(

Well, this is my 54th day pf. I'll update/talk to you tomorrow.

Night!

Interview @ Nightschool... :)

Hey Fuzzy!

So today we started night school. I actually somewhat enjoyed it. I stay in my favorite hallway basically everyday. The only classes I don't have in the 7th grade hallway are gym, lunch, and french. Oh yea, we also run on a block schedule now :) I have all my core classes one day, which is nice because I get two days to do my homework. Anyways, today I also was interviewed by a reporter from roanoke times!! I thought it was fun. Anyways, I'll tell you more about night school tomorrow, since today was a "B" day, and tomorrow is "A". This way, I'll have a much more complete update.

Anyways, better get to my homework!!!
Night!!! ;D

Time For Celebration!!! :D

Heya Fuzzy!

Okay, so good news. Today is my 50th day pullfree!!! And to make things better, I've stayed pullfree during a lot of stress. Here are just a few of the things I've survived:

1. midterms.

2. my gym collapsing

3. learning that we are going to attend night classes at the middleschool since our gym made our building "unsafe"

4. being stuck at home for over 3 weeks due to bad weather/school, which not only stresses me out, but also bores me (so my urges rose)

5. knowing that I may become unable to do my favorite "afterschool" stuff, since we will be getting out late

Etc.

So today I went running. I'm super out of shape. I need to lose weight. I ran around 35 minutes or so (including hills [running up a hill at easy, medium, and hard paces])

Anyways, I'm going to celebrate this amazing feat with myself by making myself desert. This may not be really a celebration (esp. since I'm not on a diet or anything), but hey. :)

Well goodnight Fuzzy!!

Technically-Yesterday...

Hello Fuzzy!

So it's 12:05 a.m., I'm going to tell you about technically-yesterday.

Okay, so I organized a history "class" for friday a few days prior. So first, I went to the 11-11:45 a.m. class. We all talked about the plans for school [you should know by now that our school basically died]. We (as in us kids) found out that we will be attending night classes on a block schedule... :(

After the "class", I met up with some of the members of a Girl's Bible Study at Panera Bread. It was really fun, even if the cashier person got my drink wrong. So rather than with chocolate milk, I had a french toast bagel toasted with cream cheese and regular milk.

Directly after the lunch, I went back to attend the second "class", which happend to be at the college's library... Let's just say my friends, sister, and I got lost.. for around 40 minutes... and traveled in various circles... However, it was still a fun adventure :)

That basically sums up the interesting part of my day!

Well, technically-good-morning Fuzzy!

Talk to you technically-tonight (hopefully with more interesting stuff to talk about)!

P.S. without counting technically-today, I am 49 days pull free!!!! :)


P.P.S. American Guys beat France in Curling :P

Lent Challange

Hey Fuzzy!

Okay, since the feedback I recieved for the Valentine's Day Pull-Free-Athon (which I think I told you about), I decided to create a Lent Challenge. Here's the information: (P.S. yes I copied pasted from the sites I posted this on).

Hey everyone! Okay so as most of you know, people usually give up something for Lent. Well, this year, I will be giving up Trich for Lent. I encourage you all to join me in this journey :)


Location: Everywhere

Dates: Feb 17 - April 4


Due to the length of this challenge, I will break it up in weeks:

Mission 1: Feb 17 - Feb 24
Mission 2: Feb 25 - Mar 4
Mission 3: Mar 5 - Mar 12
Mission 4: Mar 13 - Mar 20
Mission 5: Mar 21 - Mar 28
Mission 6: Mar 29 - Apr 4

:) I wish you all luck and even if you don't make it through every mission, know that how long you were pullfree is a major accomplishment :)

Winter Games

Hey Fuzz!

Well, firstly I do not know anymore information regarding the gym at the moment. Anyways, last night I went to a girls bible study sleepover and I watched the winter olympics while everyone else slept. American Apolo Ohno won a silver medal in Short Track (speed skating) whereas American J.R. Celski won bronze :D Also, Hannah Kearney (also American) won gold in women's moguls (basically skiing down an extremely bumpy slope). :D :D Unfortunately, as you may know, Nodar Kumaritashvili, a Georgian luger, died at the age of 21 in a training run on February 12, 2010. This was his first olympics. R.I.P. Nodar. Prayers to his family.

By the way, 44 days pf if you include today.


P.S. the picture of Nomar I included is one of when he was still alive and well. I did this in respect to him and his family & friends. I did not include any pictures or videos of his crash or death.




Apolo Ohno











J.R. Celski (sorry, couldn't find a picture from this year's race.)

2. My girls bible study is having a sleep over tonight :)

Bad News:
1. Today, our highschool gym collapsed. Our varsity basketball team was playing when the first wall began to show signs of collapse. An hour later, the whole gym just collapsed. I'll try to post pictures tommorrow.

Well, got to go.

Bye.

Yesterday... :S

Hey Fuzzy,

I just wanted to say that I almost pulled yesterday. I didn't have my playdoh within hands reach, had my hat off, and was watching tv alone at 12:30 in the morning. I began feeling the regrowth then my hand started to feel individual hairs. Luckily I noticed this before it was too late and went upstairs. Luckily, I'm 41 days pull free (not including today). I really need to be careful. I'm so mad at myself for almost letting me do that! I could have relapsed! Ugh.

Well, talk to you later tonight.

Funny Video Link

Hi Fuzzy!

Sorry for the second write of the day. Firstly, I'm now 39 days pull free & counting. Also, I set up a Pull-Free-Athon for Valentine's day on trichworld. I made the event so that people would keep in mind to also love themself.

But, the reason I'm writing is to share this video:
(Look Under Comments)

Goodnight Fuzter!

I'm REALLY Out of Shape

Hey Fuzzy!

Okay, so I forgot to write again yesterday. Anyways, I was super excited after finding out that one of my friends also has trich, (Not because of trich, but because now I actually know someone who's been my real-life freind since camp of last year that can help encourage me/vise versa).

Anyways, today I decided to go on a brisk jog. Let me just say, I'm out of shape. Firstly, it was icy. Secondly, out of 31 minutes, I only ran maybe 26. That means I walked 5. I know I shouldn't be so hard on myself, since the last time I actually ran (like track ran) was last year. Either ways, no matter how bad I am at running, I still seem to be happy afterwards. I think I'm going to join track as a sprinter this year, since last year and the year before I did long distance.

Last year, the season was pretty much worthless. Why? I was sick for 1/2 of it. My friend had decided to come to an event with who-knows-what, making me sick for about 4 weeks. Fun, Fun, Fun!

Well the reasons I want to try sprinting this year are:

1. I want to try something different

2. I'm pretty good at sprints

3. Long distance in highschool goes up to 2 miles in meets - I run up to 1/2 miles in meets

4. Freshman year is the best year to try it

5. I think I may enjoy it more

Who knows? I may end up hating sprinting. If I do, then I'll just train for long distance for sophomore year!

Well, I'm going to go on trichworld, so I'll talk to you later!

P.S. not including today (since the day isn't over), I'm 38 days pullfree :)

Happiest Day Of My Life

Dear Fuzzy.

Words cannot explain the joy I'm feeling right now. Okay, so you know how I have trich, right? Well, so does my friend. I'm SO HAPPY!!! I knew I wasn't alone, but never like this. The amazing thing is that neither of us thought the other had trich!

Sorry, my emotions are running deep. I'll be more thourough later.

SO HAPPY!!!

Bye!

SuperBowl

Hey Fuzzy!!!

Okay, so today was the day I've been looking forward to for a while... Why? Today was the SuperBowl. However, today has not been struggle-free. Firstly, I almost didn't go. Why? Dad. He doesn't know when enough is enough. Well anyways, my team, the colts, lost. :( On the bright side, I'm proud of the saints for winning their first SuperBowl. Ending score? 31-17. O well, always next year!

Anyways, I made colts cupcakes (funfetti with blue icing and piped on white horseshoes).

Also, today I felt comfort in answering questions on Yahoo Answers (Y!A). These questions others asked regarded trich. I gave them my email and shared tips. :)

Well, Goonight!!

P.S. Peyton Manning = Fav. QB :P

Bones :D

Hey Fuzzy!

Okay, so over the past few days, we've had no school due to "winter weather" (icy roads, etc.) Tomorrow, we go back... At least we have a 2-hour delay..

ANyways, I've been busy. I'm not yet done with Gates of Fire, and let me tell you: It's not a book to read if you're rushing to do a paper on it. Also, I finished my nutrition paper.

Anyways, I'd rather talk about something peaceful... Something like the t.v. show Bones. It's my favorite show. I feel incredibly smart when watching it, as I know a lot about medical stuff (say any bone, for example, and I will tell you exactly where it is). I love watching re-runs, since I hate being left hanging. The show NEVER gets old. I love it :D

Well, I have to get back to reading The Odyssey (english.)

Well, Goodnight Fuzzy! Sending love :)

Hey Fuzzy!

Just as I promised, I'm writing again tonight. Well I guess this entry is sort of unorganized (sorry)!

Okay firstly, this morning was amazing. I woke up with a text from one of my best friends. I know this may not seem like much, but to a girl like who has no self-esteem, it meant ALOT.

Secondly, one of my best buddys and two of his friends built/are still building an igloo. Last time I checked, it was 6ft tall, 25ft long, and it has 5 different rooms. You go guys!

Thirdly, I am super stressed. Although we have another day off tomorrow due to snow, I am extremely nervous about the 3 projects I have due this week. I have to read over 400 pages worth of book, and at least 3 papers, visuals, etc. Also, on top of that, I have normal homework! Ugh, I hate procrastination.

Well anyways, I'm super tired, so goodnight! Love you Fuzzy!!

P.S. Its my 31 day pull free :)

Akward!

Hola Fuzzter!!!

Okay, so I will write later tonight (promise!) But there is ONE sole thing I want to tak about right now. Okay, so my parents know about my trich.... yea. They haven't been good with it though. Okay so randomly out of the blue, my mom asks me if I want/need conseuling. Then proceeds to ask me if I was still pulling out my hair.... AKWARD! I hate it when people aren't respectful/aware of how one may percieve this. UGH! Anyways I'll talk to you later!
