Finals are FINALLY over!!! I am freeeeeeeeeee until late August. Even though I was supposed to graduate this month, I decided to prolonge my graduation so that I may have an Armenian minor. Sooooo... I won't be "walking" until next May... till then.. I'm not quite sure what i'll be doing :) :)
Well, I have some bad news for everyone! It seems as though I had to cancel all my summer trips. So, Shooshig's not going to NY, nor is she going to Hayasdan.... I know.... major sad faces all around! So now everyone is thinking.. whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?? I've been waiting all year to spend 3 months in Hayasdan, only to leave and look forward to the next time I'm there... but now I won't be going AT ALL. Well, I debated whether I wanted to write about this in here, but I decided that it would be okay to tell people...even if I don't know them. It turns out that all the health problems I've been having for the past 2 yrs had a very substantial base...after several doctors and blood tests, a doctor that I recently went to at UCLA ordered a biopsy of my thyroid. It turns out I have a condition called Papillary Carcinoma, which is a type of thyroid cancer. I know I know.. when I first heard about it, my heart almost stopped....but it turns out that this is a very low grade type of cancer and so far hasn't done any harm except obviously to my thyroids. This brings us to my non-traveling summer. I'll be having my lovely-good-for-nothin' thyroids removed in a couple of weeks which has forced me to be in town for the follow ups and treatment that follows.
I decided to write about this, because in all the research that I did online and in several medical books... I found out that this is not a rare thing after all! (Of course it is rare for me, since I am not a woman in menopause), but I found out that a lot of women have this thyroid problem...it's just that I am of the few who have it at the age of 22. I can't describe to you the RELIEF I feel, now that I know exactly what is wrong with me, and that I don't have to be on a trillion different meds... and especially that it is entirely curable and treatable!
Ok, enough about that.... So I've been thinking about this very special summer... my first summer in L.A. since I was 18 years old. I know summer can't be very different than the rest of the year, since all people do in L.A. is run around either trying to make money, or flaunting what their money bought ;) hehehe Now I can rest and read all the books I've been meaning to read for a while now.. and I can write.. (I love writing).... if you have any suggestions.. let me know!
Anyways, so now you know why i've been kinda distant lately... just trying to figure things out, and now that it is all quite clear... I AM BACK!!!! :)~ (expect me here a lot more!)
TSUH! (.......for now......)
