Living Up to My Floor Nickname

A year and a half ago, I was a new student here at LeTourneau University. I was convinced that a blog would help everyone on my floor keep in touch, and so I promptly created one, and urged everyone on my floor to join as authors. Within a few weeks, I had virtually forgotten all about it, but that initial obsession with blogs earned me the nickname "Post".

Now it has been two and a half months since I last posted on this blog. That's not right! So, I guess I've got a lot to fill in.

On the last post, I mentioned the issue of moving to another floor during Spring Break (March 12-20), a nine-day weekend in the middle of the semester, depending on how well I'm doing with seizures.

So, a summary of all the seizures I've had since November 20:
Circa December 11, a day or so after I got home, I had a cluster of seizures. We think it was caused by a combination of the stress and lack of sleep I had during finals week, let loose after I was able to relax.
On Sunday, January 30 (after the third week of class this Spring semester), I had one seizure in the evening, right before dinner. That third week of class had been somewhat strenuous, and I had missed some sleep.

So, I need to make sure that I do not miss any sleep, or if I do, that I take a nap or go to bed early within a couple days.

Last semester, one of my seizures occurred during class. This morning, the professor of that class told me that he had told a friend at his church about it and asked for prayer, and just recently his friend had told him that he was still praying for me!

Thank you for your prayers.
I started this semester with a bit of stress, taking more classes than I could handle, but now that I have dropped one, I'm feeling comfortable  and able to keep up.
