Homecoming 2008!

Homecoming 2008! It’s finally here. The last memorable tradition at UNC before graduation, that brings a community together. Yep. The excitement is definitely in the air despite midterms. Why teachers and the university haven’t worked out an agreement to give us a break to participate is still amazing to me. The majority of us has full course loads, work at least 20 hours per week, and are still expected to be super in the classrooms academically and involved in our Bear Pride initiative. Something has to give. My Greek friends and others are operating on less than 6 hours of sleep to make this university look good on Saturday. It’s amazing.

This blog is going to be a tad shorter than normal. Not because of studying for tests (which I have), not because of the craziness of homecoming, and nor is it due to friends going through life altering events that needed a bit of my attention. It is simply due to the fact that I’m typing with one arm. The shoulder has caused me to miss a lot of class and other events. I’ve grown quite weary of doctors and poking me to find out what’s wrong. The one humorous side of all this is that I had my first biopsy yesterday, without my family. I was informed that my mom was trying to catch a same day flight at 7 am in order to be with me for my 1:30 appointment. Thankfully there are a lot of great people around to take care of me. Sounds sappy, but those people make this special for me. I’ll keep you all posted when I find out more. Keep your head up.
