Epic WIN.

I drove out to Buffalo Grove for the first time EVER from Elgin in pitch black darkness of the roads and I didn't get lost!

WHAT'S UP NOW, MOM! Take that for passing down your horrible sense of direction! HUZZAH!

My death wish for my tonsils.

Y'know...I'm getting really tired of feeling better...,then sleeping...then waking up and feeling like shit again. Although sleep is much needed for me right now and feels great when I am sleeping, because I sleep with my mouth open, it just makes my throat hurt again.

I just want them out already. little bastards.

Sami vs. Tonsils

So my throat started bothering me Tuesday night but I didn't really think much of it and yesterday it started to get more annoying. I checked my tonsils in the mirror and saw my right tonsil was inflamed and had white patches all over. I took Dayquil and Airborne all day and last night I checked out my tonsils again and the left one was inflamed and the right one got bigger and almost engulfed my entire throat hole and had more white patches.

I went to Jack's ENT this morning and he told me I have a minor case of Tonsilitis. AWESOME. Third times the charm.
So now I'm on an antibiotic for 10 days and he said if I have any more throat problems within the year I should consider getting a tonsillectomy. whatajoke.

I hate my tonsils.

Epic fail.

So tonight I traveled to downtown Elgin by myself to go to a body piercing shop to get a new ring for my monroe piercing and stupid me forgot to print out reverse directions from Google Maps to get home and I ended up getting way lost and because of my pride, I tried to figure out how to get home by myself and ended up going in a circle like 5 times.

EPIC FAIL.

So the lesson learned tonight: never leave home without reverse directions if you're going somewhere you've never been to or have only been to once.

Good job, Samantha.

Feeling "at home".

Yesterday I emptied some of my boxes and have my stuff in accessible places so I feel a lot more comfortable now. I hate living out of a suitcase, and now that my stuff isn't in suitcases and most boxes...I feel a lot more at home.
So far, I am very happy living here and I'm very excited to meet up with friends without having a time constraint and I'm curious and excited to get a job (Hopefully at Urban Outfitters!).

So far, I think it is safe to say that I am confident in my choice of moving back here and I hope it only gets easier from here :]

back in the IL for almost three days

and it feels like I never left :P

Once I get acclimated, everything should be cake!
