Looong Night
I'm still wide awake, I've got a headache the size of Russia, my leg (where I think I've got that stress fracture) is throbbing, my stomach is upset, I'm restless, my lips are chapped, and my alarm goes off in less than 6 hours... It's gonna be a long night.

WEDNESDAY
Is it seriously only Wednesday? Geez these last few weeks have been going by so incredibly slow... I guess it's kinda nice, but on days like today it's like, "seriously?!"
Good news! Met with my favorite professor about getting some research experience under my belt and getting mentored by her for - *fingers crossed* - grad school and she agreed!! So now that I'm realizing that graduation is actually coming sooner than I expected it, I need to start being more proactive and competetive about my college career and kick it into gear. Lots of work and research to come, but hopefully it will all pay off in due time. Which reminds me, I need to meet with my advisor about taking the GRE... hmm... No more f*cking around!
Bad news! I think I have a stress fracture in my right tibia. Yeah. It does suck, I know. It's been bugging me for the past 2 weeks and has not gotten better. BUT since it was just yesterday that it dawned me to do some research about it, I read how I can help it so I think I'm going to try that for a little bit before making a doctor's appt. Which maybe actually isn't a good idea, but I suppose I don't want to admit to myself that my leg is screwed and this half-marathon training is going to have to wait for awhile.... caaaause honestly, it can't wait for awhile. Damn. So pretty much, I'm hoping that gets fixed magically.
Yesterday I had to do some light grocery shopping and decided to get a rotisserie chicken to have for dinner last night and pretty much for meals the rest of week. Best decision ever. Not only is it delicious, but it's cheap and will go a long ways AND I'll get a suffient amount of protein! It's all good. Definitely going to have to plan that into my meals, cause it was pretty brilliant, if I do say so myself :)

Cha-ching.
I just remembered how to send posts from my phone! So I had to try it out to make sure I've got it down. More random thoughts to come! :)
Downfall
So I have figured out that my greatest weight loss weakness is pizza. Not donuts or chips or pre-packaged products, but PIZZA. Ah man, I love pizza, crave it 24/7. Damn it!

TGIFebruary
Okay, so "TGIFebruary" wasn't my idea - - I saw it on someone's facebook status today and thought to myself, "Amen" and figured it was a good title for today's blog.
I decided I ought to write on here more often. Mainly because it makes me feel better when I do, getting my thoughts/frustrations out in, I guess you could say, a postive way. Today was pretty sweet. Loooong as hell, but really can't complain. Oh, except for that I can't believe I'm not in bed yet... haha
Dunno what's up with me these past few days, been in kind of an emotional slump - but making sure I come off as "okay" or even "good," which I've been good at portraying the past few years. It just comes easily anymore. What the f*ck am I doing with my life? Nothing. Once, yet again, it's all a f*cking waste... A failure.
Thank God it's February. Mainly cause I'm over winter and glad that time is flying. But at the same time... Oh my God, it's February. Again. F*ck.

Half-Marathon?
Alright, so I'm trying to figure out whether or not I ought to train for the SLC Half-Marathon coming up in mid-April... I know that if I put my mind to it, I can do AND my school schedule is looking pretty awesome this semester to where I'm positive I can fit a training regime in just fine. Do I want to train for it...?? Aahh... I can't decide...
Any thoughts? Suggestions?? Please comment here, or lemme know what you think on Facebook! Thanks :)

Spring Semester
Okay, so day numero dos of this Spring '10 semester was just as awesome as yesterday! My classes are looking great so far - which is actually a problem because I signed up for 15 credit hours with the intent of dropping one class and at this point I have NO IDEA which one I should drop. I was talking to my mom yesterday and I'm planning on going all week and then deciding over the weekend what I'm going to do and I actually might just keep all 5 classes.... I just have to see if the course load for all 5 classes is going to be do-able. So we'll see!
Right now I'm at work for another hour and a half and I just wanna go home. I'm really exhausted from the start of the semester and I think I might be getting sick because my throat is hurting like a motherf-cker. Boo. I don't want to be sick! I just want some ice cream to ease the pain and attempt to numb my throat for at least a little while. So I might be getting some when I get home tonight, I'm still undecided.
So I have discovered that CHI straighteners (not cheese straighteners - which is what 3 of my friends on separate occasions over the past two days have thought I said) are MAGIC. ...aaaand basically now I have to get myself one. haha I was going to get one today, but I think I'm going to wait until payday... I suppose we'll see if I can hold out that long. Alrighty, later!

Twenty-Ten
Wow... so 3 months later, here I am! Last night I had a great time with my buddies and was encouraged to post again, which is actually a good idea. At this point in life, I honestly cannot complain! I got nothin'. haha School starts again tomorrow and I can't f*ckin' wait. The nerd in me has been ready for the past 2 weeks already, so I'm pretty psyched. :)
On weight loss, I made the goal of 6 lbs/mo so by my birthday I should be about 10 pounds away from my goal! I just gotta keep up the good work, drinks lots of water, get into a good workout routine, and not fall to all the MANY saboteurs out there. I can do it!
Mentally, I've been doing so good the past few months, since D moved in. Thank God for her! We were talking about it last night actually, and since she's moved in, I had one momentary lingering thought of poor judgment... But other than that, the past semester couldn't have been better! Laters

Fall Break - take 3.
It's the end of my third Fall Break and I can't believe how fast time is flying! I was fortunate enough to get to go home for a little bit, but in two days I had a dentist appt, eye doctor appt (that resulted in my first pair of glasses... yippee!), and a physical AS WELL AS having to take Lex in for a tire rotation, brake alignment and check, brake replacement, oil and lube change, AND inspection. It was a crazy two days, but I think I can safely say that I am shiny and new again.
The weather here has been phenomenally gorgeous. I just love this crisp fall weather that hasn't *yet* included snow! The past few days I've been doing some powerwalking/jogging around the Aves and holy crap have I been sore! All those hills are such a good workout.
Oh! So I have figured out what I'm going to be for Halloween this year.... and it's brilliant. But no one (with the exception of my fam who helped think it up, and you priviledged ONE confidant...) is going to know until it's revealed at the work party on Friday, Oct 31. It's gonna be good. :)
