the migraine has finally gone away. for the most part anyway. :] thank goodness. still waiting for my magnetic bracelet so hopefully that will prevent future migraines of this sort. i think i should be getting it either tomorrow or friday. hoping tomorrow, but i'm not sure.
took ginger to sushi for the first time tonight. it was rather entertaining to watch her try and eat it. haha. then jamba juice. yum :] we are slowing going to cross hopefully everything off her oregon summer adventure list. so far all we have is tonight. ikea and voodoo donuts this weekend. we have three other road trips already planned, just not sure about when we are actually taking them, but they are planned.
finished greek :] now ready for the fall to come so all my shows come back.
i think i might actually start reading another book. not sure which one i am going to read. i am thinking about going to the forest grove library and seeing what they have for a selection, cause i have read all the books i have in the house. i need something new. oh i really want the new sarah dessen book too.
4th of july weekend i am taking the 3rd off from work. yay. i am staying up here and house/dog sitting for lisa. to make some extra money. kelly is coming down, finally. fireworks somewhere. wine and love letters. haha :] very excited.
exhausted. annoyed. going to take my meds and then sleep.

i've dealt with my ghosts and i've faced all my demons
we are going on a whole week with this migraine. i honestly don't know how to deal with it anymore. very frustrating. went to the doctor's today and all she told me was to take 800mg of ibuprophen 3 times a day. well no shit what do you think i have been doing for the past week. obviously it isn't working. duh. seriously that is all i was told and i was given eye drops for my itchy eyes, which is because of my allergies, not my migraine. i was so mad and annoyed that i even went in. though today my boss lisa told me about these magnetic bracelets that her and her son use to avoid migraines and she said that since they have been wearing them, they have not gotten a migraine. i figured since what i am doing now isn't working i would try something else. so i ordered one and should have it in a couple days. i am hoping it will work.
got my placement assignments for my fall practicum and my student teaching next year. i will be teaching 2nd then 4th grade at terra linda elementary school in portland. although it isn't really portland, more cedar hills area. i am pretty excited about being at that school. but as a whole i am totally scared about student teaching all together. i was reading the little bit of information that they gave us and of the 9 weeks we are required to teach completely solo for a total of 3 weeks. eek. i am sure that is what fall semester is going to be all about in preparing us for it, but i am still scared. not to mention i still have to pass my orela test before any of this. lovely. meh.
this will be the second night that i have brought myself to tears. literally just sitting here one minute and the next i am sobbing. it doesn't help that my allergies are awful or the fact that my migraine is still here.
work tomorrow morning. i am hoping i can make it through tomorrow a little better than i did today. today was really hard.
off to hopefully actually quite possibly maybe sleep.

all i want is the wind in my hair, to face the fear and not be scared
meh... i have been trying to get rid of this migraine for 5 days now. it never really goes away. just isn't as bad at some points and others it kills me. like last night, i couldn't fall asleep cause it hurt so bad. on top of being sick makes it worse. dinner with my parents last night didn't help either with all the noise.
daddy's birthday was yesterday. met them in mcminnville so i could finally get my car back. dinner with them and my grandpa.
i am happy to have my car back. its so shiny. :] and all fixed. thankfully. now all i need to do to it is get it aligned since my dad changed my struts. but that requires $75, so that will have to wait until at least july. good thing i don't drive it that often.
new show addiction. greek thanks to my sister. i know i'm 2 seasons behind, but i'm sure i will be all caught up by fall.
so i learned yesterday that dehydration can cause migraines, so i am trying to drink enough water each day. i feel as though i am always in the bathroom though, which is annoying, but if its going to get rid of this stupid migraine i am willing to try it.
back to work tomorrow. it was rather nice to have a 3 day weekend. now i only have 5.5 days left to take off over the rest of the summer. probably the day before the 4th, then some other time in july and maybe the beginning of august to visit family.
i need to start figuring out what i want for my birthday, since i already have people asking me what i want. less than 2 months away and already asking... goodness. although i have been thinking about it for a while. i know at some point i am going to need a new computer. i don't know what else i want. not really in the mood to think about it.
i should probably go eat something and maybe take some excedrin for this stupid migraine.

i'll open up my heart cause there is nothing to hide
the smell of chocolate chip cookies looms around the house. :] yum.
we are pretty much done with housing applications and room assignments. yay! finally. we are doing some fine tweaking, which might include moving enough rooms in walter to completely shut down an entire wing. lisa is working on some shifting, but i think we might be able to do it, which will be nice. having the new residence hall has really helped with space. we won't have anyone in any of the lounges in walker and clark, which is always a good thing. we are probably going to have some open rooms here in there is almost all of the halls, which hasn't happened since i was a freshman.
tomorrow i am going back home to get my car, which is supposed to be done. i am so glad that my dad is a mechanic and can work on my car. i guess he has been changing a few things around, so we will see how it all turns out. and apparently he has been buffing it so its super shining and not so dull anymore. :] haha.
ginger is coming back tomorrow. yay! i need to call her to see about what time she is going to be here. this means there will be someone else in the office. i'm really excited about it.
off to deal with the cookies and reading my book.

you're all i've ever dreamed of
moved in. :] unpacked. for the most part. :] everything is pretty much situated. finally.
work is going alright. i took friday off, which felt really good. we are assigning the new students roommates right now, which means jean and i are locked in a study room in the library all day going through application after application trying to get them all done. we only have a small stack left, plus the international students, and then i think we are done with the big important part. then there is all the small stuff that goes along with it. lovely.
went home for graduation. man seeing all of them graduate made me feel pretty old. :] got to hang out with jillian on friday, which was really nice, since i am never home and we never see each other. thought my dad was going to be able to fix my car in the 1.5 days that i was home, but it's going to take longer than that, so i have the truck for the week, till sunday when i go back down there for father's day.
speaking of father's day, i need to get my dad his gift for not only father's day but also his birthday, which is the following friday. lovely.
i need to get these containers off the floor and onto the loft area above the closet and bathroom doors. but that would require me to have a ladder and someone tall. i think dani and i need to invest in a little step ladder.
haven't seen sophie or joanne in at least a week, probably longer. sort of sad.
buying graduation cards on friday and i found the cutest card... too bad it was $4.99. that's insane, but it was adorable. :]
since moving in i have had to chance to start reading for the summer. i have already read two books and started another one, but now that i have moved i have no idea where it went. sort of frustrated and annoyed.
maybe i will unpack, maybe watch a movie, maybe try and find my book.
