the samll things

Besides missing friends and family there are some smaller things that I miss.


Sunsets and Sunrises 

    I have some of the greatest views from my desks for sunset and sun rises in Maine and now I am surrounded by buildings.  First one is a sunset and second one is a sunrise.


Smocking Laws
      I have always been told that Maine has some of the strictest smoking laws.  Here I feel like there is none.  I have to play race with some one if there smocking to just get up wind from them to only find out that some one else is smocking.

Local Politics 
    As a politics major I am obsessed with politics but being so far away I have no idea of whats going on in Maine or even Boothbay.  I had to rely on what was said over 2 moths ago and with in 2 months a lot can change in the politics worlds.  I also had to rely on the candidates website and peoples Facebook updates.

Doctors
    After all this stuff I have been going through here in VA I have had to talk to a lot of doctors who don't know my long medical history.  Back home I have doctors that remember me from when I was not even able to walk. 


living in a house
   What I mean by this is I have to walk down a hall to go to the bathroom and bring my keys with me.  In order to get to the kitchen and dinning room (dinning hall) I have to walk across campus and up and down a hill  just to get there not to mention the back to the dorm room so if there is a blizzard I might not be eating for a while.

Lets catch up!

I have been here for at least 10,  along this way there has been some up and downs.    I am going to get the down s over with first so the ups sound so much better.

Downs

Before I even left Maine my first down happened in the dark I slipped my wallet out and I thought I slipped back in to my bag in front of the air port.  After trying to pull it out I realized i wasn't there.  I traced my steps back to a security guard who asked if she had seen a wallet she had and she pulled it out of her pocket with none of money in it.  Later my mom was told that in a security video they can see my wallet and the only person that touches my wallet is the security guard.

Slowly after being her I noticed my hands shacking, my heart racing, and that I was all ways tired. This went on for awhile after multiple taxi rides to the hospital rides to the hospital I was diagnosed with graves disease.  It is common but hearing that I haven auto-immune disease scares me.  The fact that I was all ways tired affected my school work.
