Today, (technically yesterday since it's 1am) I had my "hearing." It started off roughly but ended pretty well. I think that I'll be able to return next semester. My dad got a call shortly after we left campus from the Dean of Student Life. He said that they would get in contact with us in November to discuss my re-enrollment.

I moved the rest of my stuff out of my dorm today with the exception of my cinder blocks. It's really depressing though. I really didn't anticipate my freshman year of college going like this... I mean, being on campus for two weeks and then being sent home for a fainting condition. I just thought things would go better.

Some school has to take me, right? I mean, I can't be treated like an invalid for the rest of my life. I have a fainting condition not MS or Down Syndrome. I can still be an active part of the world. I can still work. Really, my fainting condition is similar to epilepsy; it's just less dangerous. My brain functions normally when I'm unconscious. My heart rate isn't slowing or speeding up. I'm fine. I haven't gotten hurt over the past two years that I've lived with this. Sure, I've had a concussion or two, and a few lumps on my head, but nothing serious.

I'm just hoping and praying for the best.

At the moment, I'm trying to unwind by watching Golden Girls. I have a play to finish reading and a response paper to write for a class I'm auditing. It's due tomorrow. I only have a few pages left, and the paper only has to be a page. I think in the morning when I have a fresh mind, I'll be able to concentrate better.

  1. That's just shitty that they can kick you out for a fainting condition. I'd check the laws on it, honestly -- that just can't be right.
