Here is what has happened in the last seven days:
On Tuesday of last week I was informed that my poster for the AIGA World Day of Design was selected to be printed and travel the world. My design, along with the other 19 student designs and 30 professional poster designs will be printed and displayed on Wednesday, April 27th in the Miami Design District. Let me know if you are interested in attending.
On Wednesday night I met up with the group who will be going to Cornerstone Florida with me. We discussed the fees, transportation arrangements, the hotel situation, and all the other details. One thing I learned after talking to my buddy Yannick is that the festival will probably be a hot, sweaty mess with lots of good music. Great. It’s a good thing our hotel will be walking distance from the event. I don’t think I’ll be eager to use the dreaded Port-O-Potty’s he was telling me about.
Thursday afternoon I went on the annual Spring Retreat with the kids over at The Movement, WKBC’s youth group. It was a blast. I took tons of photos with my new Pentax and with my Sony Cybershot. There were relays, games, buffets, swimming activities, devotionals, campfires and great conversations. I was one of the camp counselors and team leaders. Our teamname: The Instant Messengers. Pretty gangsta. We arrived back home on Sunday night.
Yesterday, Monday morning, my father went under the knife for a hernia he has had for quite a few years. The operation was a success and he was back home within hours. Dad said the people at Mercy Hospital were the kindest people. They even attended to him earlier than expected. That’s a huge Praise.
I must have eaten something harmful on the trip or on Monday morning because yesterday at work I felt dizzy and bad enough to throw up. I drove home last night exhausted and still a bit nauseated. About an hour after I arrived I threw up again. That’s when the fever started to kick in. I spent all of last night attended to by Dr. Mom with rubbing alcohol, liquids, a thermometer and an ice pack. It appears I have a virus.
Lastly, as I was in the middle of feeling sick last night I received a phone call from my friend Giselle. She asked me to be her prom date in May and I accepted. Thirty seconds later I was throwing up. Don’t worry Giselle, I’ll still be there. 
That’s it for now. Today and tomorrow are my last days of school for this semester. I feel so weak I don’t know that I’ll be able to attend, though I have to turn in my projects. I’m going to call my professor and let her know my situation. This really sucks.
Awwww…. I hope you feel better David just make sure you don’t throw-up on prom night!;)( You and my sis are going to have a blast…I wish I was going
). That is so awsome that your artwork is going to be exhibited. I am sure my sis and I would love to see the amazing work of the talented David Uribe. Anyways, catch ya later and make sure you stay hydrated….please.

i didn’t know dabid was sick in the swamps. [have the doc check on the organic reasons for these sick spells yooo!]
i’m praying God will send ‘quick relief’ this week, maalox-style ya hurrrrd. love, me.
I appreciate the concern and your prayers, thanks a lot.
As far as prom, I did go to my own prom. It was good times. It was cool because I was able to dance with all the friends I had spent the past 3 years with. Our class was so small (about 100) that everyone knew each other and had a good time. I can only wonder what it will be like around a thousand kendallites whom I have never had contact with. Either way I’ll find ways to be entertained. Needless to say I’ll most likely take my camera with me to document the madness that is highschool dancing. Hehe.
Heeeyyy. Lol, this feels weird commenting on YOUR journal.. Nah, not really, but whatever. I just found it on the movement site. I love the noises on there.. hah. Oh, hope you feel better! man, I hate feeling so weak and feel like I can’t do a thing.
