I'm doing 23 things
The operation wasn’t bad at all but after the Novocaine wore off then you could really feel it. I didn’t need stitches and I got the IV so I rarely remember it but I remember hearing things but you don’t feel a thing.
It’s my second day of healing and it’s a little bit better. But take the vicodin and do the warm salt water rinsings, they both help so much.
Surprisingly I haven’t slept much but the liquid diet isn’t too bad.

How I did it
It made me
Proud 
How I did it: I studied for two weeks which included having to study for my final at school. Normally if I study it makes me fail a test even more but despite the Federation being only 125 questions there were things on there I had to go with my gut on. It was a great experience and I'm so glad I am now certified.I'll probably take the National if I move somewhere but right now my state takes both. Read how I did it…
It made me
healthy
How I did it: Cold turkey baby, I cheated only twice and it took only a day to realize the huge difference in my lungs. I didn't get too bad of withdrawals but I know I'll always want a cigarette. I just have to face that and not act on it. Also I realized if I were to have one it would taste and feel so nasty and toxic. Every smoker should try to quit.When you're ready, you're ready. You can't force it and cry wolf. Read how I did it…
It made me 
How I did it: We attempted to have sex, we tried everything to break my hymen but due to having a tipped uterus it made trying to break it extremely hard. I just hope that the next time it's fun and I'm actually turned on. I don't know if I'm a virgin or not anymore because there was pain but no blood (even if I heard that's common to not bleed) and the pain stopped around the third time I tried.Either way I'm glad to have it over with.

I just passed my final with flying colors last night and I’m getting prepared to take my certification exams. If you’re in massage school right now, finish it, it’s totally worth it. It was a great experience and I’m ready to start my life now. It took me 1 year.
I studied only for the midterms and finals so it’s not a totally “Study your ass off” thing. You just need to know your stuff and anatomy can be hard. But the main thing is you need to really want to be a healer and not just want money. Don’t listen to the insults you’ll get or anything because people are naive. The way massage schools are run we could all be nurses.
It was a very quick process. I got a bit light headed, dizzy, and sweaty due to low sugar but they handled it beautifully and I would definitely go back again. You can hardly feel anything and it’s just a good thing to want to do. I think if there’s a blood drive near you, go and give some. It takes 10 minutes. But also be sure to eat and drink beforehand, that is a huge help.
