My Diabetes Diagnosis...

So, its been a little over 9 years since i was diagnosed, ive been on this site for about a month, and i though id let everyone know the story of how i was diagnosed.

So the wierd thing is that out of all the symptoms a person can notice to know that they have Diabetes, the only one that showed up with me was the constant urination. Long Beach Unified School District elementary school had a yearly tradition where they would take all their 5th grade classes to a camp in the woods called Camp Hi-… Continue

life after high school

Well, im currently in my second semester at Long Beach City College, graduated High School Class of 2008. HOOAH. My military career was over from the beginning. haha I got rejected 2 years ago on Christmas Eve, so i consider it an early christmas gift. hahaha I got rejected from the Regular Army, but i also tried the Army Reserve, California National Guard and California State Guard. ALL rejected me.

Funny story (kind of) about the State Guard is that when i talked to the Sgt. he had told me th… Continue

glad i found this site

well, as some of you may know already (but for those who dont, let me say again), ive had diabetes type 1 since i was 9. im now 18 yrs old. as most have experienced and some are experiencing, when i was first diagnosed i was the only one in my family and the only one of my friends to have diabetes. 9 years later, the same still goes. when i was younger i was in a support group but didnt like it since i was the only one younger than 13 years old. i had noone to relate to, and since most adults an… Continue

School's Okay.. My exams are starting in 2 weeks & i got LOADS to study. I just hope the year passes by smoothly.

How are you doing?

Eh, school's okay. I've missed a lot though and am having trouble catching up on everything. I've always been an A/B student and am in a college program at my school to get an associates degree when I finish high school, but I gotta maintain above a C average in all my college classes or I have to pay for them and I don't get credit >.< I've managed to pull up all my grades to a's and b's except in chemistry, where I have 2 d's because when you take college chem at my school you also have to take advanced placement chemistry, and it's all one big class but it counts as two different grades. So I'm working real hard to pull that up.

How about you?

Eh, I don't really have a favorite team. I usually root for the underdog in the match, whoever that may be.

i knew (obviously) who shinedown was, but i'd never heard of saliva before. I didn't like them too much :P
I dunno, my dad is generally a confusing person.... I've kind of learned to live with it, hahahahaha.
At 2:15pm on October 9, 2009, Sarah M said…
Sounds like a really cool job :)
At 8:13pm on October 8, 2009, Kristin said…
haha, i'm gonna take your advice on the bacon thing... it sounds gross xP i went and saw Shinedown, if you've ever heard of them. they're a rock band. it was an awesome concert they performed with Saliva, and some other band, i forget the name. I went a couple weeks ago with this guy i like, he likes me too (obviously otherwise i don't think we would've gone together) and it was fun... unfortunately, though, my fam was there too. bit of a downfall. but overall it was really fun:) my dad is really paranoid. he wouldn't let me date the guy, Max, way back in december.. and then, out of nowhere, when max is at a different school, my dad's like "Hey, why dont' you invite max to go to the fair?" I wanted to punch him!! well, i wrote A LOT. so i guess ill stop writing now... hahaha.
