oh the humanity

Well where to start...

I got my wisdom teeth taken out but that doesnt make me less wise!
I havent moved since thursday...or eaten. I've lost like 7 pounds which is cool. The pain killers dont work very well. I feel like its such a waste of life because there is nothing i can do. The first night i felt myself drooling and i woke up and saw it wasn't drool but blood. I wobbled downstairs and sat on the couch and fell asleep around 3 in the morning and kept changing the ice bags every hour. The second night i kept throwing up from something. It was terrible..and last night was the first night i got a good night sleep.

All i can think about is food. All ive been eating is jello and pudding. I made a list of things i want to eat when i can chew. I am starting the celebration with a double whopper from burger king then moving my way to Sheetz for some chicken fingers and garlic fries...mmmm.

I am starting to get really excited about china. We still dont know the travel dates yet but im thinking about all the things i need to bring and pack. I am shopping online for some noise reduction headphones so i don't have to listen to annoying people/plane noises for 15 hours. I also am looking at some books i want to read and some magazines. I love flying and traveling. I dont know who wouldnt. Someone really doesn't realize how small their world is until they've gotten out and traveled.

I missed game night last night. it was very disappointing. all TUR people were there. Hopefully we can all get together next week and go out to dinner.

now i am rambling but i blame the vicoden

ho ho..ho?



The Ramella family wishes you a merry Christmas- though it didn't feel like it at all. Christmas eve was around 50 degrees and we didnt really go anywhere. Looking back in my childhood christmas contained a smushed car ride up to Bellville to aunt dotties with Moms side of the family to see people i didnt even know. The kids all stuck together and caused a ruckus and watched a christmas story on the big screen tv.

This year we went to aunt debbies to eat lots and lots of seafood and watched a movie and attempted to play family feud though no one was paying attention. I must admit i was still pretty excited to sleep last night. Like tradition i had to watch the first round of a Christmas story on tv and fall asleep with it on.

Christmas day was very exciting. I haven't seen my whole family in a really long time. Summer used to be our time to hang out all together on the beach and just have a blast but that wasn't the case this year..so i was very excited to be together. It still didn't feel like Christmas because we weren't at grandmas house and we didn't do the coins! i was slightly disappointed.

I have offically decided over break that i am not going to valley forge anymore. For the first time in my life i have NO plan...and it feels really good. I have no idea what im doing or where im going..and thats okay. I am going to do lots of things that i never thought i'd have the chance to do like take an italian class, a photography class and learn how to process my own film, cooking class, learning how to run a business, go to china, learn how to be a big sister, and how to live with my parents again. I am super excited for this year. and i am even more super excited not to go back to the VFCC bubble that isnt reality.

i am getting my first surgery in 2 days. i am nervous but i will be on vicodin and will be having a lord of the rings marathon.

i am also going to NYC tomorrow to see circ de soliel AND to take some awesome pics. cant wait.

been a long time

Upon the nightmare that was finals, packing for break, sleeping and eating i haven't had much time for blogging. I also figured no one reads it so i should stop. Then i realized i don't write for you, i write for me.

Well i survived another semester at valley forge. It went by really fast. Im glad its over. This time last year i was already itching to get back to school, this time i cant imagine going back. Im just loving being home so much.

We've been getting lots of snow here, except its not really snow. Its more like ice rain that never goes away. I literally needed ice skates to get to my car. I wanted to go to the gym yesterday and i took a step on the sidewalk and slid/nike sneaker skated all the way to the street. my car was in the driveway so it wasn't too helpful. I finally used my keys as an ice pick to get to the driveway and got my car started. I slid out of the driveway and my car got stuck in the middle of the driveway into the street. I took that as a sign from Almighty so i just went inside and did some tae bo.


besides the ice rink that is Bethlehem, pa- we have had huge amounts of wind. I felt like Dorothy from wizard of oz when her house gets swept up into the tornado. It was really that bad.

I had to go to the dentist today to have xrays done to get my wisdom teeth out next week. I dont really want to think about it or talk about it but good news is i get valum AND Vicoden. YES
