How things have been going.

Hey guys! Been awhile since I last updated the blog. I just wanted to catch you up on my life so far, so here we go!

I got into Thaddeus Stevens during the fall of 2016, for graphic communications and printing, meaning I design logos, covers and various other things during class. I also know how to use an offset press, heat press, and can screen print on shirts. For this summer I've been working at Screen Printing Partners, basically on the heat press from 9-5.

During this past school years I've made four incredible friends that I can't imagine I would've ever found if not for college, and we're starting a Dungeons and Dragons group at the college for some adventure. I now have friends to go see all the movie premieres with me!

I'e started writing a bit, hopefully I can post it on the site soon, and it'll hopefully do better than my last one.

Now, onto the bad news, if you don't know this yet, I was born with a bad heart, and have had a total of three operations on it at young ages. The last one was when I was five years old. They took half my heart off the circulatory system, so now only half,(the smaller half no less,) does all the work. Things have been fine up to now, with me growing up pretty normally (including the aspergers) with an already massive amount of medication. The only side effect I've had to deal with was sleeping problems, I.E. being sleepy all day. I take a nap everyday.

The issue is, on my last checkup, they gave me a portable heart monitor I had to wear for 24 hours. When they checked the results, they found I had arrhythmia, which is irregular beating of the heart. That's very bad for someone with my condition. The gave me a new pill, that's giving me a bunch of side-effects, and is doubling my already crappy sleeping habits. Yay.

I just want to not be sleeping all the time, or have the threat of passing out looming over me while I'm working the heat press. It's not that much to ask for, right?

I'm sorry for dumping this on you guys, but I had to get my thoughts written down somewhere, I don't know why I picked here. I just want this to be over, and to not deal with these problems my whole life. I guess I'm not going to have my wish.

Thank you guys for listening, I'm just tired and wanted to rant to someone.
