A Change Of Pace

Because of all the health issues I've been dealing with, I've decided to make a few changes. Number one is to cut out meat from my diet as much as possible, but definitely not because I don't like it--trust me, I do. It's the easiest way to decrease my fat intake, which will hopefully aide my cholesterol on lowering. Secondly, I plan on drinking a lot more water than I do now, because it seems like I always have a headache. Third on the list is to try to stop worrying about others, and put myself first. That's probably the most tiring aspect of my life, and may be the most detrimental to my health. 

I'm still waiting on results from medical tests to come in, but I'm not worrying. Whatever will be, will be. All I can do at this point is figure out how I will handle whatever comes my way. I want to be more positive :) so I just have to be patient! 

Worst Possible Scenario

Last night around 11:00, I decided to take a shower before hopping into bed. I've always wondered "what should I do if the fire alarm goes off while I'm in here?" ...and apparently I'm really good at predicting the future because that's exactly what happened! 

I was the lucky one who had to run downstairs with wet hair (mind you, there was still conditioner in it) and stand outside for 20 minutes in 50-something degree weather with a robe partially on, and a thin blanket wrapped around me. 

But did anyone help? No. Did anyone feel sorry for me? Nope. Everyone just laughed at me, even my "friends" which was the best part of all. I want to give a big THANK YOU to all of those people, and I hope that you are put in the same situation one day--it's really fun. 

TO ALL OF THOSE WHO SAY "my life is a joke," "my life sucks," or things like that...I can assure that nothing is more embarrassing than what I had to go through last night. The END.

Bye Bye Spring Break!

     Spring break is finally over and I could not be happier! Why? Because it means that there are only a few weeks left in the semester, and then I will be on my way home :) I haven't been there since mid-August 2009, so I'm LONG overdue for some relaxation! Let me rephrase that...I'm long overdue for a LITTLE relaxation because I'll be taking summer courses, yay? It's alright though because that just means there's less stress for me to deal with once I come back to UT.

     My plans for the summer as of now are, like I said, to take a few classes, and do a lot more painting. It's one of my only stress relievers that actually helps, and it's been a while since there's even been time to paint anything. I love just lying in the sand, painting what is just two steps in front of me. Only 53 days until I'm home! 

Spring Break

I have a feeling that I won't be having the best spring break possible this year.  Instead of being home and moving into my new house, I'm stuck in Tampa, really cool.. :(

It all started off with a broken phone and waiting for an hour in the Sprint store, and creepy cab drivers saying "I've been waiting all day for you baby...do we have a date?" No, we do not. How will I spend my break? Oh, you know...just going to doctors appointments, doing homework (of course I get assigned a lot over break, should have known), and attempting to find food because EVERYTHING minus the cafeteria is closed for the entire break. It should be really interesting....slash horrible!

Honestly I just want this break to go by as fast as possible. On the bright side, 2 months and 2 days until it's HOME for the summer!!! I miss my island home.
