Finally! Internet at home! It feels like an eternity! I didn't realize how much I use and rely on it for school and socializing.
Here's an update! I have actually maintained my weight throughout this semester. I was 155 before the semester started, and I'm 155 now. I did go up and down, but I didn't go above 155 so I'm actually happy. I kept getting down to 149 and then getting a cold, eating, dieting, cold, eating, repeat. I went to a wedding on Halloween and ate well, but then drank well, and ended up finding the dessert table across the room. I danced a lot, so maybe it all evened out? The DJ kept playing Bruce Springsteen, and I have a soft spot for the boss. I only had a little candy yesterday, Take5!, but I drank beer.
My two worst habits are late night eating and drinking. I can eat extremely well all day, but at 11 pm, I'm in the kitchen making loads of food or getting fast food (eek!). I don't drink when I'm at home, but my friends are always at the bar. They never hang out anywhere else. It's frustrating. I'm the only one in school, so they are there every night of the week. I am always getting called to come hang out, and I really shouldn't go, but I tend to. Also, my boyfriend and I live together, and he generally goes, and I want to spend time with him because we are away from each other all day, so I go too! I really want to primarily focus on school, but being in the band puts me in a lot of social situations. I love winter because I hide in my apartment most of the time. Hopefully the weather will keep me in.
I guess I just have to make new rules for myself. The drinking is such a stupid thing and can easily be corrected. I'll just have to be okay with staying home while everyone is out. I will just spend time with Fitz, our kitten, instead! New rule #1: No bar on the weekdays! This will work because I HATE going to the bar on the weekends. Which hopefully means that I will rarely go. This saves calories, time, money, and brain cells! New rule #2: No eating after 10 pm! I stay up super duper late on most nights, so this will be hard. But I get out of work between 9-10, so this allows me to eat a little something when I get home.
I'm still having trouble with my water intake! I accidently melted my water bottle while I was cleaning it. I put soap into it, and then put it under the hot water tap. I walked away to do something else and when I came back it was all shriveled up!
I tried to play catch up, but I failed miserably. I saw a little wedding talk, a new peep, and the caregiver story. I was so sad to hear that! I hope everything is working out now and that things have gotten better. What an awful thing for a person to do. People can be terrible to one another. I hope that your Mother is doing well now that she is in better care.
I feel that everyone I know is getting married or pregnant! My boyfriend's cousin was married on Halloween. They were seeing each other for 6 months, got engaged, then married less than a year later! I've been dating my boyfriend for 3 years. We are perfectly content, we know that we don't need to get married. But his family! All night at the wedding, especially the flower toss, was stressful! I had to tell his Grandmother that, No, we aren't going to get married or have children in the next year. I wanted to say 5 or 10 years, but I thought she'd cry! All of our friends want us to get married too. It's so bizarre. It's not that I don't want to get married, or that I don't want to marry him. I just don't see the rush! I wish everyone would stop getting married and having showers so that I wouldn't have cake, ready to go on a plate, put in front of me so often!
I missed the survey business, and I forgot to copy/paste it here, so I thought I'd just sum it up. My name is Collin. I'm 23 and a junior in college. I am studying animation, computer and 2-d. I just applied for an internship at Pixar, which I'm freaking out about! Disney in general has influenced my life so much, that I have always dreamed of going into Animation. I was in Education, but the classes depressed me, so I decided to do something I love instead. I think I've been to Disney over 10 times. I went a lot when I was very little and then started to go again when I was in college. My favorite rides are the Haunted Mansion and Splash Mountain! We always stay at the Boardwalk, but I've always wanted to stay at the Polynesian. This March I'm heading to Disney with my parents and boyfriend, Jon. Jon and I have been able to go to Disney each year for the last 3 years. It was all accidental really. We are very lucky. We have been able to celebrate our anniversary at Les Chefs de France every year we've been together! There is no way I can choose my favorite movie. I like all the old 2-d animation movies, before computers were involved. I love love Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and Dumbo. They share a lot of the same animators and concept artists. As a kid though, I was a Little Mermaid girl.
Well this post became a book. Again, I hope everyone is well! I will be able to be on a lot more now! Hopefully even more than once a day!
Oh! I almost forgot! Since I bailed on the Halloween challenge, I would like to do the Christmas challenge! Please put me down for ten pounds! AND! I would like to join the facebook group. That's my main mode of communication with my friends, so I'll be able to keep up there! I just requested to join!
My trip is getting close, so I bet I'll be here a lot more than I think! 3 months 28 days! I have to plan things for my boyfriend and I to do once my parents to go sleep! I have never been to the Adventure Club, and now it's closing/closed! I found a sushi/karaokee bar at the Dolphin, so maybe we'll check it out. We always like the Atlantic Dance Hall because it's empty and the DJ plays whatever we want! Dancing in the Dark please! We do the Monorail drinking adventure, mostly for the Lapu Lapu!! Any new/more ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Have a great week, dare I say Monday, everybody! Talk to you soon!
Have a Great Day All!
I was really surprised. It was fun though. I kind of just read the chapters (2 of them) and on the bottom of my guide were questions so I asked those after we read a page or two of course nobody answered me so I just answered myself. It was kind of funny but then about 10 minutes before it was time to go they were just out of control so I just stopped and talked about making their penace.
I always remember my DD's first reconciliation. She walked up like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders. She came back like she was floating on a cloud.
I do believe that is a first!
