I showed up at our usual meeting place the morning of April 9th, completely unaware of what was in store for me. The previous week’s ride had been a nice flat 80 mile confident boost which everyone completed in record time. I thought that this 60 mile ride wouldn’t be that bad, since it was […]

On Saturday March 26th, my team participated in the LBJ 100. I woke up super early that morning at 4:45 so that I could get ready and arrive at the LBJ Ranch in Johnson City by 7 in the morning. Once inside the ranch, we were able to register (where we had our very own […]

Right before spring break I came down with an ear infection/sinus infection combo that required me to take these giant horse pill sized antibiotics and use a nasal spray. I was waking up in the middle of the night from coughing fits and all together feeling pretty bleh for over a month. But then that […]

I feel like I need to write. So here it goes: Yesterday I received word that a one of my teammates has come down with that pestilent syndrome we call cancer. As shocking and difficult as the news was for me, I can only imagine what he and his family are going through. It brought […]

I am finally sitting down to write the blog I’ve been meaning to write over the last few months. Please pardon my tardiness, but the reason why I waited until the night before my epidemiology exam to finally cross this off of my to do list is because I feel there is always much on […]

On Saturday, April 23, I collapsed in the kitchen. I’d never collapsed before – in the kitchen. Weeks prior I had collapsed in the front hallway. After falling the first time I made an appointment at the clinic here in Katy. Blood work, urinalysis, echocardiogram, EKG – the lot. At the end of it all […]

I’ve started to really enjoy the ride dedication section of our meetings. At first it brought me down to start meetings at the end of a long Monday with stories that without fail made me cry. Stories about how cancer is affecting the lives of amazing people in so many negative ways. The stories are […]

Prior to the infamous T4K Monday meetings, I, along with other T4K members, attended a meeting teaching us the proper way to “cheek swab” for the upcoming Be the Match Registry Drive. This is the second year this drive has been conducted and T4K along with Iota Nu Delta hope for it to be a […]

I spent all of last week preparing for the Century re-take yesterday. I stayed up Friday night finishing up some work, made breakfast for the morning, and set my alarm for 5:00 am before going to sleep. We had to be at the CPE at 6:30 am. I woke up to a call from Molly […]

Typical Sunday night. Long, long stretch of CHE 317, Physics, and my Organic Chemistry labs. It took so long that I found it impossible to stay in one place to work on all of them. I finished CHE 317 in the Carothers Lobby, Physics in Joynes Reading Room, and was headed to the Blanton Lobby […]
