I know that there isn't much going on really, but I wanted to let everyone know about the exciting changes in my life :)
Maybe one day when I have time, I'll re-post all my original tumblr posts on here.
On that magically day when I have time to kill and energy to spare.

Summer Medical Update
Hey everyone!
I've been super busy this summer with my internship and my job. Nothing exciting happening except that I know I'm not cut out to do research. The internship has made my summer drag, but this is the last week, so it will all be over soon!
I have 4 doctor appointments this week and then I'm off to visit my parents, brother, and a neuro-ophthalmologist. Yup, that's actually a field. I'm headed to visit the one in Portland. I'm going to be having another long MRI of my brain for this going blind thing, but with all that I have coming up, something should hopefully be figured out.
6 weeks ago today, I became gluten free. I cut gluten out of my diet. This is a super hard thing to do, but thankfully I live in the land of corn tortillas and some fresh veggies, so I've had to be creative with the lunches I pack, but the struggle is well worth the reward.
My sister says that I'm a changed person. At least my attitude is. And I think this is accurate. When I was eating gluten, I felt tired all the time, and other things that I just thought that everyone dealt with every day. About 2 weeks into going gluten free, that all changed. I no longer became tired after being awake for 4 hours and the daily naps weren't needed. This is only the beginning of the ways that this has helped me. My digestive system thanks me, and so does my migraines.
This summer I've only had 3 fully developed migraines. Yup, you read that right. 3. This is the least amount of migraines I have had in any given 2 weeks since high school, but this summer I've only had 3. It's amazing. It feels weird that I have energy to do things, but in a good way.
Before you ask, I have slipped up a bit, mostly through cross contamination of something that has gluten touching my food. I feel exhausted the next day and get a head ache. So, it is the gluten that I changed that causes some of this.
There are two levels of gluten sensitivity, Celiac and gluten intolerance. I know that I am at least intolerant, and later this week, I will have a wonderful meal filled with real pasta and then have a blood test to see if I have full blow Celiac disease. This blood test is only something like 2/3 accurate, and the best way to figure it all out is to add and take away gluten from your diet to see how you react.
Looking at Celiac's most common side effect is like I'm reading a list of everything I've ever suffered from (not the broken bones, that was just due to me being adventurous and rough). For the first time in a LONG time, I feel like I have control of my health and that there is a hope that I will feel better.
No matter what this blood test turns out, I am going to stick with a gluten free diet. It's tough, but worth it.
I'll post again sometime after my nuro-ophthalmology appointment and let everyone know what's up.
Love, Whit

Stuntin Like Mufasa - Lil Wayne
What a day so far.
I had the first migraine in 2 weeks, but that's only because I've been dealing with this lumbar puncture thing still. That's right, still having the LPH. going on almost 4 weeks. It is ridiculous and stressful to keep having these headaches . I've been working the hours that I need to at the anatomy lab and at the internship I'm at. It's hard to work and learn things when you have a headache that makes you nauseous after hours of sitting or standing.

Rolling in the Deep - Linkin Park
Oi.
It's Summer!!!! Woot!
Day 3,498 of the Lumbar puncture headache. Just kidding, it's only day 12. Let me tell you, 12 days with a constant headache is ridiculous. On the bright side, it shouldn't hurt too much longer. Theoretically.
Today I'm at the Anatomy Lab working, where I will work 10-15 hours a week and tomorrow I start an internship at a research lab on main campus. Which looks exciting. I'm going to be able to learn how to work a lot of chemistry testing machinery and get some great skills. I'm not completely passionate about the work, but I'm super excited to learn how to do these things. I'm fine with this, I don't have to be completely in love with the project to do a good summer job, and to be excited for the results that I produce. This isn't going to be my thesis project or anything. Who knows, maybe this summer I will fall in love with the project and want to continue on.
It's all looking like my summer plans are working out, I just hope that I don't keep getting sick and ruin everything. At lest, ruin it according to what I've planned out.

Little Lion Man - Tonight Alive
You know those weeks when you... BLAH. Ya know? Not just your normal but nothing-is-happening-how-it-is-supposed-to there-is-way-to-much-changing blah.
That is where I am.
School ended, I'm meeting for an internship tomorrow, my co-worker at work changed, I'm having to deal with a new type of being sick, and Ash is going to China. That is a lot for this introvert to handle in a week.
If you didn't know, if you had to say I had one super power it would be super-introvert. I am completely fine with this. I even embrace this, but sometimes a new situation comes up and I have no idea how to handle it. I don't like not being in control. In order to deal with this, I've learned that I should stop trying on some things and that God truly is in control of everything. Sometimes though, my plans of what I am not in control of are challenged. That's when things get tough to deal with for me.
On top of that, the person I'm looking to intern for just sent me some papers that the head of the lab wrote and co-authored. I had to google the main thing in one of the titles... That bodes well for the rest of the summer (NOT). I'm so glad that I asked for some papers on what they study and are researching, because otherwise I would look like a dunce in the interview tomorrow. Now, to read and understand 30 pages by the morning. And here I thought I was out for the summer...

Bleed It Out-Linkin Park
What a week.
Sometimes I just want to run away from the world. Good thing that is a fleeting feeling, at least most of the time it is.
In the past 7 days it feels like nothing has happened, yet the world has changed. Which is completely true.
Finished all my finals by noon last Wednesday and an hour later went in for a lumbar puncture. That in itself was an experience I hope I never have to repeat. It took forever and the PA doing it couldn't get it right. Finally after 2 hours I was done. Because it took so long I had to lie flat on my back for 24 hours. It was super annoying. By the time I made it to work on Friday, I was super excited to be done with the semester and ready to get in the mode for summer. Unfortunately, I had one of the most horrible headaches I've ever had, but it was weird because it was unlike all my migraines. Called a bunch of people and learned that there is a thing called a lumbar puncture headache. Basically, my back didn't scab over after the lumbar puncture like it should and as a result, my brain is dehydrated. What fun. It's a simple fix, they just use my blood and put it in my back to make a scab to keep my CSF where it should be. The problem was the soonest they had time to fit me in for this procedure is today at 1:30. As a result, I've had the entire weekend spent on my back and on pain medicine so I can function. I have read many books, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to focus enough to read the good books I have saved for summer. I just hope I can get my week pointed in the way I think it should be headed.
I've had time to think in the last few days. I don't do well with thinking. I prefer to just have a moment, make a decision, and go with it. I guess most people have the feelings that I'm currently feeling when they graduate from high school. I must really be behind the times, I'm just getting the 'what do I want to do for the rest of my life' freak out now. I haven't figured out anything. It'll all work out, it's just annoying waiting. Ready for this summer to start.
I'm meeting a researcher Wednesday who I will hopefully be working under for this STEP internship stuff. Who knows how all that will work out. It seems to be a hurry up and wait process, annoying but it gives me time to adjust, I guess.
I will not let this last week be what defines this summer.

Down - Thousand Foot Krutch
I just realized that I begin almost every post with 'Sorry it's been awhile'
I'm not really sorry, I have a super busy life and only really take time to blog when I am avoid something. For instance, right now I'm avoiding studying for finals, particularly Calc III.
Illness:
-My belly:
Lots going on with my belly. If you've read much of this or were around me last semester much you know I went through some weird, un-diagnosed pain in the lower right quadrant of my abdomen. Good news: It's gone most of the time now! Wooohoo!! I have a theory that the pain was connected to the birth control I was on, but that's just my thought.
On the down side, because I'm no longer on birth control, I have the fear and pain of an ovarian cyst forming every month, but I usually ignore the pain that I feel and hope it goes away. This approach seems to be working most of the time.
Weight:
I struggle with weight. There you go, plain and simple. The semester before I started college, I gained 30 pounds. Oi. I kept that weight until this last December when I suddenly gained another 40 pounds.
Yeah, gaining weight does wonders for my self esteem.
I have been trying a bunch of stuff to work on my weight. I've been running (and if anyone knows how to avoid running, it's me), I eat healthy, I drink tons of water, I've even cut back on coke. Nothing seems to be working.
Turns out one of the medications I was on is known for making people gain weight. I've been on it close to 4 years. I just hope that now I can be healthier and not super huge and self conscious all the time.
- My head :
I had another field vision test (they stick my head in a big circle and flash different lights around, with me pressing a button when I see them). This last one, went fairly poorly. My blind spot is getting fairly big, and before you can ask, yes I have started to notice it. One thing that the Dr pointed out is how weird it is that my blind spot stops exactly in the middle. It's only on the right side. With a definite mid line stopping it before it gets to the left side.The Dr also looked at the different vessels in my eye using flourescein angiogram (They put a die in my blood system and take pictures as it's going through my eye). There was nothing that he could see wrong with it. So that's a plus.
This particular Dr's theory is that my migraines are so intense with their vaso-constriction that I am actually having mini-strokes each time. I don't know how much stock I put in thought because ever Dr has a different theory at every appointment. Although it does make sense with the language problems I go through each migraine.
Not-Illness:
It's the week before finals. Enough said.
Oh and I have a spinal tap scheduled for an hour after my last final. Next week should be a blast....

Whatever - Hot Chelle Rae
Long time no post, I know.
I think I'll tackle all the health things that have happened since... I guess the beginning of the year.
Migraines have been prominent, unfortunately. And I'm still not allowed to use the Imatrex which makes it hard to function with a migraine.
I have a blind spot in my left eye still which has just about tripled in size since September. I went to the eye doctor last week and they said I look good and we're just going to keep monitoring it, then calls me awhile later and tells me I'm getting another brain MRI with contrast ASAP because she wasn't looking at the most recent test results. So that's a little disheartening.
Can't think of much else though
School has been intense. The first two weeks of January, I took 6 credit hours worth of classes in 2 weeks, that was intense and it made my vacation super short, but I got it done.
This semester is packed with harder upper level engineering and science, so I've been working and studying a bunch to just get it all together.

Monster: Skillet
It's been awhile since I've posted. Many reasons for this, but only one worth mentioning. I avoided reality and some technologies over break. It's been wonderful! Although I did miss meeting up with a good friend that no longer resides in this state because I didn't check facebook.
I've been in a zombie films intersession class for the past week. A 4 day, super intense course. It's been great. Although I don't like zombies. The idea of zombies creeps me out, especially when I'm at work, I'll hear a sound and assume the bodies are coming back to life.
For this class, we've been studying George Romero's quartet of films. Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and Land of the Dead. It's a thinking class, so we spend 2-3 hours each day trying to figure out what Romero was saying about all these different topics. Race, Social Status, gender, politics, military, science and much more.
Now, you know me, I don't like movies that make you think, zombies, or horror movies. So this class has been interesting. Add to that my Pakistani friend is in it and she wears on my nerves sometimes. It's safe to say it's been a long week. Plus, I got a horrible migraine last night, I don't have meds, and there is no way to miss any part of this class and still pass. Long, long week.
I really have liked parts of this class, but it seems that today is just annoying me as a whole. Zombie films, at least the older ones, have grown on me. I've found most of the gore comical, and I've learned to analyze the film as I go, which makes it all easier to handle. Day is the only film that's made me jump. One guy actually screamed at the opening scene. It was really surprising. It's so interesting to see a set of films that are meant to go together that were made so far long after each other (1968, 1978, 1984, 2005 respectively), especially because they were all commentaries of how people thought at those times, at least how Romero saw the world thinking.
I guess I should recap everything since the beginning of break.
Classes: I passed all my classes that I took in the fall, B in BioMolecular engineering, B+ in Ordinary Differential Equations, and the thing I'm proud of the most: I PASSED CALCULUS II!!!!!!!!
the exclamations points were definitely needed. Yes that many too.
And now it's stuck in italics. shoot. Oh well. I've always known, and heard that something is better if you work for it. Well, I've definitely worked for this class. I've worked hard in it 4 times. The fact that passed ODE before Calc II (a 300 level class before a 100 level class) was insane. I'm going on to take Calc III this spring semester, and I just know that I can do it.
My sister graduated! She is a college grad. Just don't ask her what's next in her life. She doesn't know. I just avoid the conversation. It works for us. We don't pressure each other to tell anything, it just works.
My parents and Zach came down for the graduation, it was good. It was fun. Then everyone went down to Alamogordo for a bit. It was good. I really enjoyed staying with Dr Smith. It was weird to see another family living in our house. Every time I've been there in the past, no one has been living there. So it was easy to imagine the house as ours still. I know we still own it, but it defiantly didn't feel like ours still. It just cemented in my mind that we've moved on from that part of our life. It was good, I was like a ninja and wasn't seen by some old 'friends'.
Then we all came back and had a great Christmas. Fatima was hanging out with us a lot. I was glad that we were able to include her since her parents don't talk to her anymore.
I learned the game 'settlers of catan' it was so much fun to play with all my family. That's one thing I miss about the dorms/home. Playing games with people.
Christmas morning was fun. It was great to see how people reacted to the presents I got them. I did get a TV. :) No more hitting the TV to make it work. I mean, we had the last TV for 16 years.
The rest of the vacation was fairly boring, relaxing and almost perfect. Yay. Now it's 2012. I'm excited for spring semester, but I'm doing 2 intersession classes, only 2 hours left in the first one :) but next week's class is going to be hard and with tons of work.
Oh, best thing about this break. I've been craving God and his word. It's a wonderful feeling. I've started reading Psalms, side by side with the message version and my NCV. I'm loving it.
Here's to a better me.

Christmas morning was fun. It was great to see how people reacted to the presents I got them. I did get a TV. :) No more hitting the TV to make it work. I mean, we had the last TV for 16 years.
The rest of the vacation was fairly boring, relaxing and almost perfect. Yay. Now it's 2012. I'm excited for spring semester, but I'm doing 2 intersession classes, only 2 hours left in the first one :) but next week's class is going to be hard and with tons of work.
Oh, best thing about this break. I've been craving God and his word. It's a wonderful feeling. I've started reading Psalms, side by side with the message version and my NCV. I'm loving it.
Here's to a better me.
