In my twenty-three and a half years, I have never weighed over 100 lbs, except when I was 1) doing massive PT in the Army, or 2) pregnant. So, after years and years of bouncing back and forth from 85 to 98 and back down again, I finally, today, hit the 100 pound mark! Oddly enough, the reason for my sudden weight gain is that I recently became a vegetarian; as soon as I did this, I had no problem gaining. Now, here’s to me keeping it in the three digits…

They are all from the last five and a half years of my life. I would say I have probably twenty or more full, handwritten journals/notebooks. I would like to type tham out and keep the entries organized chronologically on my computer, neat and tidy, seperated in folders according to month and year. It’s just so much typing, and seems like endless work. I need to force myself to just start. It will be so fulfilling to achieve this goal…I’ve been putting it off for a couple of years, and the journals just keep on accumulating.
I am almost positive I want to major in Russian or women studies. I suppose I could major in both, but if I duel major, I would like to have two majors that will complement each other. And perhaps these would. But then journalism and English have been the two things that have always resurfaced…and I also have a major interest in history. I’m afraid to major in something as specialized as Russian, but also afraid to major in something too broad. I need to move past the fears, stop making excuses, and settle on something. Whatever I don’t choose to study in college, I can work on self-educating myself at home.
