Finally figured everything out with the doctors and as of this coming Thursday I'll be tumor free (fingers crossed). I'm still in the process of seeing other doctors about my other problems, but I'll be glad when this part of the whole ordeal is done.
Hopefully the surgery doesn't change my boobie size, I would hate to be left unbalanced.

mamma mia
Ciao tutti,
As you all know, I started school last week. What an epic adventure my summer was and it was the last one before I go off into the real world. How sad!
But, anyways. On a slight side note the tumor was not cancerous, but sometime soon I'll be making the appointment to get it removed. It can still grow, turn into clusters and continue to make my life sad. I am also going to go to another doctor to get a 4th opinion to figure out whats the cause of my other problems. I do not understand how doctors think saying "hmm thats interesting, I don't know whats wrong" is an acceptable answer. Anyways..
SCHOOL:
So its only been a week and I am already ridiculously busy, its disgusting. I have started back at my internship and hippo. I work between 26 to 32 hours a week (yes, I know I am crazy). And my classes are fantastic.
Italian: First time I've had a male teach me a language before and more importantly he is from Long Island. The man is ridiculous and is actually a legit teacher.
PSC: This is a political policy class and to be honest, I have no idea whats going on. I mean, I understand the topics, but it just doesn't interest me.
History: This class fits both into both my minor and major. Its a class on Race, Medicine and Public Health: African Americans. The class requires tons of readings, but is super interesting. The teacher is extremely knowledgeable and the information is extremely relevant.
AIDS: I am taking one grad class and it is called: Biology of HIV/AIDS. Now, this class requires the most work, but is the most interesting. Did you know that you can't test a baby born to a mother with HIV until it is 3 months old because it still has its mothers antibodies till than? Anyways, as everyone is extremely aware science is normally not to my liking, however this class is just beyond interesting. I even find learning about DNA, RNA, nucleotides and all of those other fun words extremely interesting. But don't get me wrong, I am scared sh*tless of this class. There are only 3 other students in this class....One of them is a PhD student. O.o
Public Health: My last class is this Global Public Health class taught by this man who has worked all over the world and for organizations like WHO and such. This class will be good, I am thinking it will be one of my easier classes, because I sort of know about global public health already haha. However, whats interesting about him, is that someone who works for AHMC knows him and his son. I think this should mean I get an A no matter what type of work I put in, rightttt
As for my new dorm situation. AMAZING. 2 rooms, 2 bathrooms, common room and kitchen. Its better then all my previous dorm spaces. My roommates are also ridiculous. The other day my roommate came home from a costume clothes sale and brought home old aprons. The whole concept of me attempting to cook, be domestic and a typical 50's housewife just got even better! We also all have different schedules and activities which makes having alone time easy. And we all are ridiculously busy, one day I'll learn to sit still.
But besides doing all this work I am having fun. I went to eastern market for the first time and fell in love with it. It is an absolutely magical place. I've also gotten to hang out with people in my fraternity a lot more recently, I loves them. Now that Leah and I are living together, theater people are always around. The conversations that occur and the topics that are covered are ridiculous. I thought I was funny, but really I'm far from it. The biggest shocker was when I came home and found navy uniforms sprawled throughout my bedroom and common room. While I was at work 11 people from the navel academy had stopped by and changed into their civilian clothes. I won't lie, I was disappointed to not witness all the gentlemen in their white uniforms, however I was home when they came back!
And lastly, I am no longer a blondie, I've switched it up a bit and turned into a brunette.
