Stress already

First full week of school, and I've already broken down.  As hard as I have worked, I hate when people who think they're my friends try to bring me down!   But hey drama and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger right????  Yesterday was my first day of biology, and we all know how much I loved that in hs!  Well I hate to admit it but I LOVED IT!  My teacher is awesome and is teaching it more like human biology not like the dissecting biology.  He wants me to talk to the class about cancer and I'm going to!  Like I've been saying; Listen to your body!  Which is one reason why today I went to the gym and ran 4 miles in 27 minutes.  Forget the stress, relax and improve on my body.  It'll make me feel good about myself and people jealous right; or at least if I just please myself so I can look good in a bikini in the Bahamas, I'm more than okay with that too!  Today was also the Greek Fair or the beginnings of recruitment and it was AWESOME seeing all of Greek Life in one room.  Also catching up with friends we haven't seen in awhile.  Especially when one friend from high school comes in and you just hear DAWIDOWICZ across the room and know exactly who it is!  Best part too was going to class then coming back and getting ready to see my sisters.  Also then have one of my guy friends over.  Good news is that I have my own room so I don't need permission who I can have over and when!  Tonight I'm rewarding myself a night out with the girls and then tomorrow I'll hit the books.
Have a good night all!
Love,
Sarah

Sunday Funday!

Sunday Fun-day! Or should I say Sunday Homework and Eat day!

Today after waking up late, I feel like all I've done is eat, and do homework!  Oh I can also say I've watched quite a bit of television; ranging from the Devils and Rangers playing in Yankee stadium, to the Grammy's Red Carpet to now switching back and forth from the Grammy's and the Bachelor Wedding!

Tomorrow is going to be a fun day!  Recruitment tabling, Sociology, Economics and BIOLOGY!! Tomorrow is my first day of biology from 6-9!  Only downside is I will be missing some of my favorite tv shows.  Good news is that Tuesday I don't have class until 2 and I can watch all the shows I've missed, unless Dr. O lets us out of class early!! Oh and as always eating!  Gotta eat but healthy options.  Don't want the cancer monster to EVER come back!  So I will listen to what my body wants me to eat and go from there.
Love,
Sarah

It ALL starts tomorrow!!! 

RECRUITMENT 2014

Theta Phi Alpha!

1 down 15 to go!

FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL IS OVER!! I've been to every class except Bio so far and my teachers are awesome (aside from the fact they all speak English and I can understand what they're saying).  The only downside to their awesome-ness is they gave homework the first day of class.  My question of the day is WHY IS IT SNOWING AGAIN!!! Its Spring Semester, not snowy semester!!!! I can't wait for warm weather, sundresses and flip flops.

Anyways if you are inside bored and watching the snow, I have something you could do.  You could donate to my Relay for Life page!  Every dollar amount counts and I would be so grateful!  This May will be 2 years for me!  Also I will be speaking and or helping out a ton this year again, so lets get me to be a top fundraiser again and make a difference!!!

RELAY FOR LIFE

CANT WAIT TO BE IN THE BAHAMAS

BACK AT RAMAPO

So Monday was move-in
Tuesday- Was supposed to be first day of class but turned into SNOW DAY
Wednesday- no classes for me!

Today:
I woke up, and said "Its the first ay of school for real this time."  Started panicking "will my brain work, can I do it, I need good grades!"  Then I got ready and even put on makeup for the first time since December, and went to common hour 1-2 to eat with my sisters!  It was so nice to see everyone.  Then 2pm came and so did my first class: Sociology.  The professor is the head of the department so I think he knows what he's talking about, and I think I will do well.  Handed him the paper from OSS and he said whatever you need I will allow.  Then I had Intro to Macroeconomics- which to my dismay involves some math.  My professor is hilarious and I gave him the sheet and he said Whatever you want I will allow, Okay I want an A! Also during common hour, Mom texts me DO NOT FREAK OUT.  Which of course lead to me freaking out when I found out that every Wednesday in February I will be at the Hospital for blood work, MRI and results.  Without so much as them asking if the times worked for me they just scheduled it; GREAT! See Mom and Dad; IF I had a car I could drive back and forth myself but now you have to do it and I can guarantee you will most likely not enjoy it!

 Now I am completely exhausted and have one class tomorrow from 2-3:30.  Then it is the weekend with my friends and sisters.  Oh and most likely another visit to the gym to lose all the weight I think I gained over break from all the food I ate!
Hope everyones doing well!

Love,
Sarah

Diagnosis Day

2 years ago today was when Dad dropped Mom and I off in front of the Overlook Hospital Cancer center.  I stopped in my tracks, looked at Mom and said "You didn't tell me I had cancer!"  Well honey we don't know that for sure, it's what we are here to find out.  I still remember sitting in Dr. G's office staring at my phone in my lap when he said I have good news and bad news.  The bad news is its cancer; the good news is it is curable and you will not lose your hair.  At least he being one of the best doctors was right about the curable part.  As for the hair loss, boy was he wrong!!! From there I kind of zoned out while Mom and Dad talked to the doctor about second opinions, how they need to start treatment ASAP etc.

On a happier note: Today is my cousin Clayton's 17th Birthday!! Love ya Dude!!!

1 week and counting

1 week left of winter break and I am beyond ready for it to end.
Everyone's left for school and I feel like Ramapo is the only school that has yet to start.  Therefore, theres no one to hangout with, texts don't come as often because people are in classes, and IM BORED!  I took a 3 hour nap today just because I could!
I know my schedule this semester is going to be hard and crazy, but I'd rather be that than bored out of my skull!
Love,
Sarah

Came and Went

Mom's birthday came and went! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!  We had a nice day, I got to join her and her friends for lunch, and we went out to dinner as a family.  But on Mom's Birthday 2 years ago, I woke up at midnight, said Happy Birthday and fell back asleep.  Woke up that morning and had my brain biopsy.  At lunch Caryn and Mom talked about it, and remembered it as if it was yesterday.  We also finished the puzzle we've been working on!

I still have 8 days left of break, and needless to say, I am beyond ready to go back to school!
Love,
Sarah

2 years fly by

Yesterday I woke up, went into Mom's room and said "do you know what happened 2 years ago today?"  She said it was a day she will NEVER forget.  2 years ago yesterday was when I was admitted into the NICU at Overlook Hospital due to the swelling the eye Dr found in my brain.  That was the beginning of a nightmare that we all wanted to wake up from!  But look at me now, happy, healthy and back in school (well on winter break but you get what I mean).  I guess time really does have a way of flying by.
Today it is too cold to even step foot outside so I will be in my room all day, or helping Mom take down the Christmas decorations!
Stay Warm!
Love,
Sarah
