Spring Semester 2013 & I'm Allergic to the South

I've started General Chemistry class a few weeks ago. It's needless to say that I feel like I'm in kindergarten and just lost in the material. I'd gladly trade in my little 5 year old's homework assignment on sounding out each letter properly over conversions.

I just finished week one of allergy testing, turns out I'm still allergic to the south. (Poor Cali Girl, yes thank you for your empathy.) I've finally been officially diagnosed with asthma and now have to take an inhaler twice a day and a rescue inhaler in case. Boo!! I feel the irony, I was the mean cousin that would make fun of my younger cousins with health ailments and now here as an adult I'm suffering! >_< Next row of allergy tests is to break down my sunblock allergy. They confirmed I have a very bad allergy to sunblock, I wish I had taken pictures of the bumps and blocks they had put on my back, it was so gross. I'm now in recovery from that. In a few weeks I have to do another row of tests, I'll try to remember to take photos of it. I think its gross but also cool from the nerdy scientific side of me. If you feel like you have a similar allergy here's a nice little link describing the symptoms, (http://www.everydayhealth.com/allergies/are-you-allergic-to-sunscreen.aspx) **Disclaimer - I'm not a medical professional!**

Call me hella nerdy but I've been looking up cool medical id bracelets online. I don't know why, but I am. I guess for summer season when I know I'll be surrounded by people using sunblock/sunscreen and I don't want to go into some sort of shock. So far I've found some really cute ones here: laurenshope.com I haven't bought one but I think its just a precaution. If I'm going to be that under 30 year old girl with a bunch of medicines and allergies then I might as well have a adorable medical ID bracelet in case I have to go to the hospital!! Then the cute medic can get the low down and save me. ^_^

Until next time! <3 Sheryl

Gulfarium Day with my side kick

(Google Images) On one of our adventure days, me and my sidekick "gophie" visited a place called GULFARIUM  . It's a pretty cool marine life museum with dolphin shows, shark chats, stingray chats, and sea lion show. I wouldn't recommend it during the winter since it's mostly outdoors but it was still a ton of fun for us. They also give military discount, * SCORE * Nurse Sharks Bumper the Sea Turtle On this particular day since it was cold not to many people were there. So we got a lot of information from the people giving the information for the shows and even got invited to watch the trainers feed the sea turtles, Bumper & Bailey. We also saw the Nurse Sharks and Lemon Sharks during the 'shark chat'. Our trainer (Ms. Alice) definitely gave us a lot of information and reminded us about sea conservation, recycle and don't trash the ocean! DID YOU KNOW? Touching a Florida Sea Turtle is ILLEGAL ?? Yea, this california born girl didn...

I'm 29 years old, when did I become so damn sensitive?

As a child I don't remember being emotional or having my feelings hurt other than when someone obviously hit me on the playground. I've noticed the last 5 years at least that I've become increasingly more sensitive, example: if someone doesn't answer my phone call I don't just take it as a personal rejection I feel this sad ache inside that isn't reasonable at all. Another example is if I say hello to someone and they say hi back but don't engage in conversation with me, I question whether I'm likable. When did I suddenly start having so many emotions over simple things that didn't bother me before? I'm on a mini journey, kind of secretly from family and friends, to figure what's going on with me. Why do I suffer from panic attacks, anxiety, and random emotional episodes. I figured, that blogging about it would help me think things through. I hope this doesn't end up biting me in the ass somewhere in the distance future. Is it normal ...

New Base, New Place

(found off Google Maps) Recently my family and I have PCS'd to a new base in Florida. Eglin AFB. We've been here for about 2 weeks and I've been exploring the area slowly while unpacking all our boxes into our new digs. I wish I could say that it gets easier to move around but it really isn't, if anything it becomes more of a headache when the travel policies change constantly and by the time I get to the next base its like my family has accumulated so much stuff I can't even remember owning it to begin with! So far my house is now walkable, but I'm surrounded by boxes galore. It does give me a chance to go through a bunch of items that I've been meaning to get rid of. Prior to our move, we bought our first home in Texas, which was a nice big house for our family, it also meant we had bought a lot of items to fill the house and now that we're in another state, we've moved into a smaller house so I'm learning to become a lot more crafty a...
