Almost There

Posted by Nicole

Today was my final day in LA before heading back to San Jose. Though I didn’t have classes, I did spend some time on campus.

….. at the health center and then at the pharmacy. I’ve been having pretty bad come-and-go congestion and coughing fits at night. I finally decided to go to the health center and get checked out. A test on my lungs showed that I wasn’t breathing normally (from congestion) and there was pressure in my ears.

I started antibiotics today, and also got an inhaler and some cough suppressants. I enjoyed the meds with a side of breakfast.

Lunch was nice and healthy… trying to kick the sickness through vitamin overload. 2 eggs and some whites, veggies, nooch, a bit of ranch.

Before heading to dance at the women’s basketball game, I enjoyed some dessert.

Then it was dancing time! While the women’s basketball team and the opponents from Arkansas State University warmed up, we did the dancer thang and took a billion pictures.

In our new warmup jackets- complete with embroidered names. Love these!

By the Trojan logo, because one can never have too many obnoxious fan photos:

And with a basketball net, because this is all dancers know what to do when it comes to basketball:

Our team won 72-58. Let’s hope SC continues the winning streak and our football team beats Notre Dame this Saturday… this is wishful thinking though considering recent games.

The next 12 hours will be awesome:

• packing (still haven’t started)
• sleeping a little bit
• waking up at 3:30 AM
• driving to LAX
• flying to San Jose at 6 AM
• arriving at 7:15
• running the Turkey Trot at 7:50
• starting to cook at 10!
• and then I can officially dive headfirst into delicious, homemade comfort food

I’ll leave you with a picture of last year’s delicious stuffing…

OH YEAH.

Hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving with your loved ones!
