Back To School

I haven't been able to post recently because as of 16th of April I have been back at school. Most people my age would be saying this with a sigh but I, as a nerd, am glad to be back at school!

Anyway, I must tell you about my horrible friday the 13th! I woke up with a sore throat and decided I better not take my injection until after I went to the hospital and got it okayed by my consultant. Anyway, I went to the hospital... thankfully I'm not a coeliac (that would have been all I needed) but my protein is still too low. He checked my throat and told me it was ok to take my injection. But when I was at home Dad went off to play golf so I was on my own so I decided to wait until mam came home from work. I eventually got around to it at about 6pm. But this is where Friday the 13th kicks in... I put the needle in (my stomach) and it would only go half way then I lost my grip on my skin so I had to take it out... except I was taking it out at a different direction I put it in... and let me to tell you... it hurt!!!!

Protein- I have found an amazing recipe that will help my protein shoot through the roof! Add 4 tablespoons of dried skimmed milk into ordinary fresh milk and then add it to your cereal... it's yummy and extremely nutritious! I have to go to the hospital on Wednesday for a blood test and if it's still low then I won't know what to think!!!

School Glorious School- I had 4 days of school this week... but I have to say I'm glad to be back. I had a little crisis though. You see I was teaching myself Leaving Cert Accounting and to be honest it wasn't really working out so I needed something to replace it. So now I'm doing Home Ec... it won't be easy though because it's so late in the school year and I'll have a lot of catching up to do! I've started already though- nerd that I am. Sure most people haven't even started studying for their summer tests (end of May 2007) whereas I've started studying for my Leaving Cert (June 2008).
Maths- Oh my God! On Wednesday I had a Higher Level Maths test on Complex numbers (complex being the key word there) I was convinced I had failed it... I mean I didn't even complete the damn thing. I missed 3 questions out of 9. But I got it back yesterday and I got 63% (which is a C2!) so I was pretty chuffed with myself.

The school quiz team that I'm on... yeah well we were in the Leinster Finals on Thursday (that was the day I didn't go to school- I needed to rest) anyway... we were absolutely hammered. There was some very tough questions and it was unbelievable some of the questions the captain of the other team knew. The final score was 102-82.

Pig's Hearts- Ugh! Ick! Yuck! We had to dissect a pig's heart in Biology on Wednesday and it was just after lunch break. I don't know how I kept my lunch down. It was horrible though, because we cut into the right ventricle and I poked it, trying to see in then this big huge blood clot pops out... oooooooh... it was horrifying!

Laters,
