Something worth Blogging about

For those of you AVID readers of my blog...........
You've noticed that I haven't really kept up with my weight progression on the meter over head (with the hula girl, and the beach). That's because there HASN'T been any progression what so ever.

Until of course, today.

I started to see a doctor, and I started a diet today. I go to the doctor at least once a week, to make sure that i'm keeping up with the rigorous schedule of diet and excersize.

SO.. Day one of new diet....
I went to the doctor and went grocery shopping with the boyfriend.
We ate lunch, then hung out, and I had to go grocery shopping again (because the first place didn't have all that i needed)
Ate dinner, and we then went for a walk around the neighborhood. And i believe this was my first walk since the last time i wrote about walking. ...
which if you back track entries, i'm sure you'll notice is over a month ago.. actually... two months ago.

But Justin, my boyfriend, is possible the best motivator and support EVER.
Speaking of two months, yesterday was our two month mensiversary.
he bought me flowers, and made dinner. :)

I've already THOUGHT about straying from this diet, maybe having a cheat night a week.. lol. but he put his foot down, and is totally adamant on me following this schedule. He even went to the doctor with me! awwww. :)
I love him.

Hopefully this entry is a sign that I will be posting more often... muahahaha.

Guagh

I can't believe how long I haven't written for. My badskies!

School started two weeks ago, it's gone by so fast, I can barely believe how deep into school work I am already in.
I've been reading a lot, as much as I can anyway, to catch up to all the school work. It's really a lot more reading than anything, and any article projects or research papers are mostly group work.

The first week of school I was invited by the department head to come to the prepping of some biological anthropology labs. I originally expressed my interest in coming to a regular lab during one of the classes, and I just shadow the DNA lab, but I received an e-mail inviting me to the prepping, which includes instructors and grad students working on the labs instead of the students, which is awesome.

There was on grad student who wasn't so warmed up on my presence of the prepping. She was kinda rude.. really rude for no apparent reason. Maybe because she was asian and she saw me as competition? haha that would be funny. But she is a 3rd year grad student, and I am just a senior undergrad. She bluntly asked what I was doing there, and Melissa (the department heads TA, who i've been corresponding with all summer) said that I was invited. I tried to be nice to this bitchy asian girl, and asked her where she went for her undergrad, and she's like.. "washington, uh gwu, if you know where that is"
EW I TOTALLY KNOW WHERE THAT IS, in D.C.? This really awesome school that only everyone has heard of? but apparently they produce bitches like YYOOUUUU.
Whatever, so there was Bitchy Asian girl, Melissa, Casey (another grad student) and Rhonda (2nd year PhD student).

When I left after the prepper of the DNA lab, i called back "see you tomorrow in class!" (mind you this was before class started) and Melissa replied.
While walking away I heard Casey, Bitchy Asian and Melissa talking:
Casey: What class do you have together?
Melissa: Human Variation
Casey: oh im in that too
Bitchy Asian: How did she get in that class? I thought It was a graduate class
Casey: Yeah
Melissa: Dr. Madrigal requested her to be in it
(silence)




Silence is Golden.

oh yeah, i'm a Senior now.. finally. Granted a super senior, but i'm working my way up and hopefully getting into grad school now. phew.

see ya guys :)
