So, I haven't totally succeeded in all my resolutions, but I've been working pretty well. I've lost 7 pounds, joined a gym, and haven't smoked in 4 weeks as of tomorrow. I could be doing better on the living in joy and not in fear part and working out a little more often, but I'm still pretty happy with what I've done so far.
I finished my finals and turned in all my papers. I got my first assignment for the 2nd semester last week. It's not due until the end of March, but I'm going to try to not procrastinate on this. Still, I'm taking at least until Monday off from even thinking about it. What we had was not SO difficult, but I'm just not used to it anymore. I'll make it through, but I'm glad this program is only a year.
We're supposed to get our grades back next week, and I can't wait. Getting grades is like Christmas for me when I was a kid. I get really impatient for the surprise. I mean, sometimes you get socks and underwear and sometimes you get a really awesome toy. Either way, the day you finally get to find out is great.
So, I've decided to start writing in this blog everyday for at least the next month. After that, we'll see. Some people have started asking for more frequent updates, but I'm finding it hard to remember to e-mail everyone. I still highly encourage my friends to send me e-mails to let me know what's going on with them, and I promise to respond, but this will give everyone an idea of what I'm up to...not that it's actually any more exciting than what I did at home, but everyone seems to think it is. I'd actually say it's less exciting. The idea is just to stay connected.
Let's take today, for example. I had big ambitions of going to the gym and jogging. Instead, I got up, played on the computer, and then decided to take a nap. Just after my nap, a French friend of an American friend who lives in Austin called and asked if I wanted to meet for coffee, so I did. Then I came home, ate dinner, and met another friend for drinks. That's it. The whole day: sleep, eat, computer, drinks with friends. It was a great day!

It may seem small and insignificant to you, but, baby, you are so wonderful and meaningful to so many people. Oh I love you so much! I am so glad you are doing this blog! MUAH
ReplyDeleteI agree with Shawteme :) You might take up twittering then you won't have to blog so much ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, dudes :) Yeah, I'm not quite on board for the Twittering yet. Besides, my mom and aunt aren't on there either. I'm ok with the blogging for now.
ReplyDeleteYour mom thanks you for blogging instead of tweeting! Glad to hear you had a fun day. Of course I know how well you're doing with the school, renewed committment to exercise and not smoking. But, most of all, I just love my girl for who she is! Hope you have a good weekend, and I'll call you on Sunday.
