  7. The "Hallelujah Chorus" by George Frideric Handel makes me think of the yearly caroling party my friend throws and that her family threw before her
  8. "Galway Girl" by Steve Earle ironically reminds me of my time in Cork
  9. "Golden" by Jill Scott reminds me of care-free nights in Galway
  10. "Monster Mash" by Bobby Pickett reminds me of Halloween time at Ancona when I was a kid
  11. "All the Pretty Little Horses" (which doesn't have a clear creator) reminds me of my mom singing me to sleep
  12. "Tik Tok" by Kesha reminds me of a Star Trek fan video (Kesha approves of it btw)

  14. "We Shall Overcome" by Pete Seeger reminds me of all of Ancona holding hands and swaying
  15. "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal reminds me of my 8th grade graduation, especially the moment the music stopped and everyone clapped for me (and then my music came back on but after my section ended several people in the audience cried out "Baby!")

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself.

Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
