So long & farewell

Whelp.  We lost the Big XII Championship.  The Sooners bested us in a pretty good game and they deserved to win because they played better. Congrats to the Sooners!  I wish we could have won to leave with a bang, but alas it's only football.  I'd also like to say that although I hope to never permanently reside in this state, I love UNL and it was the right school for me.  I will always love UNL no matter the wins or losses and no matter what conference we play in.

Now, ya'll know how much I hate Nebraska winters.  How the 50 mph winds rip right through you and chill you to the bone on your way to class no matter how many layers you have on.  How it is impossible to walk through the strip between Oldfather and Andrews on a windy day.  How routes to class change as you try and walk through as many buildings as possible.  How when checking the weather in the morning I pray for low winds and double digits.  How I hate that the mountains of snow that fall and turn into brown mush with the sand on the sidewalks.  How lugees get frozen on the sidewalk for all to see and be sickened by.  Ya'll know I hate winter.  Well, I want some snow.  I really want some pretty fluffy white snow.  Even though I know it will be gross and dreadful to walk in within a day, I still want some snow. I want it to feel like Christmas.

Total weight loss since about Nov. 5th comes to 14 pounds as of today.  None of my jeans fit anymore.  School/work stress makes me eat, emotional stress makes me up-chuck.  But good news I'm back to eating and I can't say I'm not glad I lost the weight... I'm almost a size 2 again! I had the most delicious lunch today though. A low carb wheat tortilla roll up with turkey and salsa and a pinnapple empanda from Marquez Bakery and Tortilla Factory in Grand Prairie.  Delicious!  I've got an ever dwindling stash in my apt that I brought back from Texas.  Now, I've alway been a huge fan of Mexican sweet bread but yesterday when I ate a marranito I thought I had died and gone to heaven.  Marranitos have always been my sisters favorite, never mine, but this one was suuuuper delicious!  Could I talk about food enough?
Um in other updates I got an A on my last micro exam meaning I can skip out on taking the final (on Dec 17th) and still get an A in the class.  Awesome.
And how have I not mentioned the Big XII Championship yet!?  I wish I was going but I have a micro lab write up, analytical chem lab notebook, and Spanish civ paper to do this weekend.  I'll probably watch it with some friends, maybe at a bar downtown instead.  I just hope we kick some Sooner butt and leave the Big XII with a bang.  Go Big Red!!

I wrote an entire (long) post and deleted it.  Now I'm not sure what I want to say.

It's a lot trickier to reject guys [politely] when you don't have a boyfriend to hide behind.

That's it for now I suppose.
More comprehensive post to come.

I cannot even describe how excited I am to go home.  I'm pretty sick of school and it's so hard to stay motivated and focused to get things done.  My grades have been slipping over the past two months... not good!  I should still be able to make A's in 3 of my classes but my chem class I'm just shooting for a B+.  Not exactly what I was hoping for, especially when I'll have to work my tail off to get an A in Microbiology (my easiest class) without taking the final when before I was breezing by.  Anyway, I'm excited to go home and see all my lovely friends that I've been missing.  Namely Hill and Ben.  I'm even more excited to see my sisters though.  Only a few more days.  Pray I make it through them...

I don't know how to start eating again.
In the last week and a half I've been surviving on orange juice, a piece of pizza, and a bowl of chicken noodle soup.  The orange juice is the only thing that stays down...  Everything else I try and force down comes back up 15 minutes later, so in general I haven't been eating save once a day.
It started out that I was sick.  Fever, cold, running nose the usual.  Then it became stress and lack of sleep and now I can't seem to keep anything down although I don't feel sick anymore.  I've lost 12 pounds since last Saturday (Nov 6).  I'm trying for some pasta with lemon juice tonight.  Think my body will reject the lemon too?  I threw up an apple yesterday so I never can tell.  I tried to eat a teacup (yes only a teacup!) of cereal today and I made it through half before feeling nauseous and vomiting.  My body is trying to tell me something, I'm just not sure what...?  Sorry for the gross post, but that's about the most interesting thing that's going on in my life right now...

OK.
Kyle and I broke up.
awhile ago, but we've been slow to let people in on it...
No questions please.

Sorry, it's been awhile.  I've probably lost a bunch of my regular TX readers already... well this update it going to be VERY brief.  I'm dropping a bombshell soon.  That's my update.  And here's a low quality photo of my weekend downtown for Hailey's birthday that just so happens to be my favorite picture of the night.
