woo pig sooie

i would def. not have the surgery during the semester. i was miserable (and so out of it thanks to the liquid pain meds) for the first week after that i could have never imagined trying to walk the hills on my campus. some people say "it's not that bad," but i will be the first to admit that i am a major whimp. still, at the age of 21, if i am sick i curl up in my mom's lap and make her scratch my back, rub my ears, and do all those things moms do when we are younger (or now, since we live in different towns, i just call her and cry). if you insist on having it before christmas, i would say thanksgiving would be best. but you also must think that as soon as you get back from thanksgiving break you will have finals to worry about. a new band packed on top of all the stress of studying (and you won't have tons of energy, for awhile atleast, to study b/c of the liquid diet) might cause problems for you grades and health. i had my surgery the day after christmas. it sucked having to watch everyone eat christmas dinner while i retreated to my room with my slim fast, but after it was over, i was so happy i waited. since i had my surgery in my hometown (which is 200 miles away from where i go to school), and the fact that i had so many dr. appts leading up to the surgery, my boss just gave me the whole month off. by time i got back to school i had lost a bit of weight, gained tons of energy (thanks to the lost weight & massive amounts of sleep), and was ready to face a new semester.

i know where lowell is. during the fall, saturday football games are my fav. in the spring, baseball games are my fav. but mostly i find myself doing a lot of shopping. love the mall in rogers when the weather is nice. sometimes i go up to eureka or over to tulsa. on the weekends, dickson st. gets a lot of my attention. but during the week i spend most of my time in the sam m. walton business building. i have considered giving up my apartment and just moving in there. did you go to school at arkansas?

northwest arkansas is great (the rest of the state needs a little help though)! i love it up here. sometimes i think i never want to leave. but no matter how much i love it here, i will always be a texan. where do you live?

hi guys. i'm originally from texarkana, TEXAS, but am currently living in fayetteville, arkansas for school. i've just been reading the boards for awhile, but bordem at work made me decide to create an account. hope everyone is doing well.
