After starting the process of going down on my medication (Prednisone) I've started to experience the side-effects over the past few weeks. I guess it's more of how long I've been on it than how much I'm taking. Least fun: moodiness (more than usual that is). Though it may sound vain the side-effect that bothers me the most is the puffy "chipmunk" cheeks Prednisone is known for. Other people might not even notice it, but I do and it makes me really self-conscious and definitely doesn't help with the depression. It fluctuates too it seems, one day my checks can be really puffy and the next it's not that bad. I'm also having a hard time focusing and getting my work done among other things.
In other news:
Today's my birthday, I don't like birthdays. If you like me you won't tell me happy birthday. No one here knows it's my birthday, I'm glad. I made myself brownies. Jeremy is supposed to take me out tomorrow, maybe that will cheer me up.
Most unstructured paragraph ever.
I hate it here. Not the city, not the school so much (though it is quite unorganized), I hate living in the dorms. I having a hard time finding a job though, so getting my own apartment isn't an option. I'm vaguely considering transferring next semester, where to though? UCF? I definitely won't be staying in the dorms, I can't take it.
Aww. Sorry you're having such a hard time.

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
Philippians 4:8-9
Finally, brothers, whatever is TRUE,
whatever is NOBLE,
whatever is RIGHT,
whatever is PURE,
whatever is LOVELY,
whatever is ADMIRABLE—
if anything is EXCELLENT
or PRAISEWORTHY
—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
God bless you and I know you will overcome as a champion!
Have you considered Santa Fe College in Gainesville? You definitely won't be living in a dorm (they have none).
ReplyDeleteBrian, you always say the best things.
ReplyDeleteCool dad, no. I'm a junior, going to a community college would be silly. I already have my associate's.
