Cedar Point

So a group of us went to Cedar point yesterday for Halloweekends. It was so much fun!! It was freezing, funny, silly, terrifying, screaming, freezing day. We rode all the big rides and hit a few haunted houses. Then came the scary part. CarnEvil. Pirates. Scare Zone. I was quite literally latched onto Steve for 3 hours. They made me go through the CarnEvil zone, and I was almost in tears. First of all, it's in the middle of Snoopy Land (for those of you who don't know, I'm TERRIFIED of Snoopy...I'm dead serious, he's my worst fear) and then it was full of clowns!! I HATE CLOWNS!! I was sooo scareddddd. And the Scare Zone was enough to make me pee my pants. At one point, I turned around cuz Steve was like "watch out Sarah" and right over my shoulder was this I don't know what to call it monster mask that I was nose to nose with as he was talking to me asking me "what's wrong Sarah? what are you afraid of?" I was under Ashley's coat so fast it wasn't funny. This girl and I (this normal just like me girl) scared the crap out of each other cuz we were so afraid! It was sooooo cold out yesterday and by the time I got out of the first Scare Zone, I was sweating profusely. That's how scared I was. By midnight, I was beyond ready to run out of the park. But I still had a lot of fun despite being scared out of my mind :)

Just call me Grace

I fell off my bed last night. Well, techinically it was this morning at 3 am. Nay and I had just finished watching Dirty Dancing and I was leaning over the side of my bed to stretch my soar back. Just so you know, my matress is at least 3 1/2 feet off the ground, it meets my chest when I'm standing next to it. So I had hooked my feet to the back of my matress and hung my torso over the side of the bed, like I do all the time. But this time, when I tried to push myself back onto the bed by pushing up on the desk, I slipped and started toward the tile floor. My lower body smacked the dresser, then scraped past the plastic storage drawers, landing on the cold hard floor in fetal position. Nay and I were laughing so hard we were crying, that was until I looked down. The lights were all off and the only light came from the soft glow of the tv. I felt a pain in my leg and looked down to see what was wrong. Even in the darkness, I could still see a dark purple 5 inch mark on my leg. So I jumped up (in pain) and turned on the light. Sure enough, my leg had a beautiful bruise already forming right before my eyes. So I went downstairs to get some ice for the swelling and I found myself struggling to make it back up the stairs. My calf very quickly became swollen and firm, like a softball had been planted in my leg. After attempting to ice it, unsuccessful because of the stinging pain the frozen water caused, I tried to get just a little sleep. But every time I turned on my right side, I would be rudley awakened by the overwhelming pain coming from my calf muscle. When I woke up in the mornign for class, I was unable to put much pressure on it and it was harder then I thought possible. Even now, its extremely swollen and SOOOOOOOOOOO painful. Once again, I'm limping and hating it. Wasn't 14 months long enough? (aparently not)

Sick

I've been sick since Tuesday night and it SUCKS. (yes maria...that word applies here) I've had a scratchy throat-runny nose-pounding headache-cold for way too long. I was sure that by now it would be gone, but I feel just as awful as the very first day. And I havn't seen Nay (roommate) for days cuz she is absolutely determined NOT to get sick. She doesn't even sleep here!! I've been resting and downing Nyquil...that doesn't work...for days now. On Wednesday night, I took Nyquil at 10pm and was still awake at 2am. So I took another dose at 2:30am and was still awake at 5:30am. So I pretty much have been laying be bed this whole week but getting absolutely NO sleep whatsever which is killing me. I totally bombed my math test (i think) cuz I couldn't even see straight. Grrrrrrrrrr........

Last night was Men and Women's night with CRU. We went to a local church and separated genders into 2 groups. Then we played some games and went to some seminars. I chose "Onslought: The world's image vs. God's image" and "Success: The world's definition vs. God's definition". I wasn't feeling very well so afterwards, I was just kinda sitting and taking a breath when Ashley approached me and asked if I would like to go get hot chocolate with her afterwards so we could talk. So we did, and omg I shocked myself. I told her the truth, and overcame a very big fear. I said "yes" to her. Wow.

I'm still madly searching for a job. No luck thus far. I'm sooooo desperate, I'll do anything. I've applied to so many and heard back from none, very discouraging. But I'm not giving up. But it is my main prayer request right now, I NEED A JOB!

I'm gunna go put on a movie and attempt to crash for a few so my head stops throbbing. Over and out.
