The Good and Bad

Location: My Dorm


So this was the first week of classes. So far I have only been to two of my three class. My professors seem really nice, both of them are peppy and crack jokes, which makes class so much more fun. I think Art History will turn out to be one of my favorite classes since in covers my two favorite subjects, art and history. Color Theory will be interesting, because who doesnt love color? But I don't entirely understand the whole point of the class. I pretty much already know all the colors and mixes and hues and tints and other stuff. I did have Color Theory at 11am but ended up having to change it to 8am because the class moved buildings, from one end of town to the other, and I wouldn't have time to get from Color Theory to Drawing 2 if I remained in the 11am class. Its to bad, since I am not a morning person, but I can deal with it. I will leave in about an hour for my Drawing 2 class. I am a little nervous about this one because my teacher gives the impression of being a pretty intense person on the syllabus.

In other news, I think I have a gluten intolerance. Has anyone else dealt with a gluten intolerance, or just developing an allergy late in life? I am not 100% sure, but I have all the symptoms I could find listed and it is quite uncomfortable, especially when you share such a small dorm room with two other people. I will embark on a gluten free diet, starting right now, which will be a HUGE challenge for me, as all I eat is bread, cereal, and pasta. I am excited, because I might be able to relieve some symptoms, which include chronic fatigue, feeling sick whenever I eat, sleeplesness, and overall stress from feeling so bad all the time. I would love any advice and guidance on what to eat, what not to eat, and how to do this when I am stuck eating college food! I will hopefully be able to stick to this diet and give updates as I progress. I am just praying that I will get some more energy. I didn't notice my fatigue so much at home, but now that I am at college and have to run around buying supplies and going to class, it is a big problem.
