I still keep up with updates, you know ;)
Thought I would keep you guys posted also,
After two spontaneous nighttime dislocated shoulders since last february, nighttime shakes, and tiny daytime giggle-fits, around fifteen times a day when they were worst before they were treated, I've been seeing neurologists and getting tests done to figure out what's wrong. Only less than a month ago I've finally been diagnosed with frontal lobe epilepsy, and my epileptologist has been great and the first medicine he's prescribed has nipped both my nocturnal seizures and my laughing seizures in the butt.
Spring 2008 semester had to be cut short after I had my first big seizure and I dislocated my shoulder and the problem was first apparent. I couldn't drive to school because my seizures during the day were so frequent that it was hazardous, and knowing I was having seizures of such magnitude was risky anyways.
But in the summer after I was put on a first medication, that seemed to be helping for a while, I was driving again and I went back to school full-time. But my shoulder was dislocated again after another seizure so I stopped driving, but my dad and Elena have been real nice and giving me rides to CLC since then.
After then I saw the epileptologist, who was able to finally diagnose me :)
But in the fall I finally got down to trying to figure out a University. I'm unhappy with the commute to CLC and the classes also. The art department is subpar and I'm positive I would do better somewhere else.
So next semester I'm going to Loyola University Chicago, still an art major, but still with every possibility of a double major or minor or anything I want.
The campus is beautiful. And on the floor of the drawing / painting rooms there is an old conservatory that looks out on all the campus and the Lake. I even got a chance to look at some of the work that the students are working on, and I'm digging it.
I hope that I can make it work.
the past is weakness
the answer is war
