Home Sweet Home (84/90)

Wow, I can't believe how much I've missed White Mesa, our college house in Muncie. Even though I was away for a whole week and I did not say when I would be back, I felt very welcome by my friends here at White Mesa when I came back. 

I stayed at my friend Lou's house for a week in New Lenox, Illinois so that I could go to Acen with some college friends from both Ball State and New Lenox (whom until then, have only met through skype).Lou's family was great and all, but I just couldn't live in their house. They had two cats living at their house and I'm allergic to cats. What's also funny is that Lou's family is also allergic to cats so we all had to huddle around the tissue box sometimes. My main problem being at Lou's house was the horrible chest coughing I had probably due to how unclean the house was. There was so much dust everywhere. Lou's mom had to buy me an inhaler so that I could breathe because I kept having asthma attacks. I don't want to complain too much since this was mostly my fault anyway. I made a poor habit of eating unhealthy food that whole week because I felt obligated to eat the same food Lou's family did. (chips and a cheese and ham sandwich everyday along with soda). 

I should write about Sam and Judy (Lou's sister and mom) here, but I told them I wouldn't publicize them as they saw me writing my blog while I was staying at their house XD. They were very nice to me even though they thought I was awkward and hard to converse with. Or maybe it was the other way around o_O

Well, anyway you probably know what I did the first day back at White Mesa. Sleep. This weekend was so crazy and my body should have given out many times, especially after I was sick for a whole week. Despite my coughing and sweating and the outside cold and the unknown contact with many people who probably didn't shower for a few days, I held strong. Now that I'm at White Mesa, I can rest on my very own bed (and not on a couch) so that I can recover from my illnesses. 

Here's to White Mesa!
