where did the time go?!?
Amazing time, have learned and experienced so much. I feel like I have changed quite a bit.
I love it here. I’ll be sad to move on for the summer. Going to miss the choas here. No one to crash in my bed, leave brooskies on the bathroom sink, get a bloody nose, roam the city with, or blaze with.
I may go mad leaving my lovely campus/city.

I have been here for about 17 days. My diet and fitness was perfect for the first few days before the weekend, then it slipped, then it began to fall apart. Sleeping too was good before the first weekend, but then it too fell apart, and 11 o’clock nights turned into 6am nights. Sleeping getting back to normal is in the works though. It’s the visitors that keep me awake into the early hours.

It’s school work and sleepiness that hinder my fitness schedule. I haven’t been to the gym in a week and a half. Going to try to go more. Late night eating continues, it’s impractical to stop that completely , however I try to stay away from the pizza and other junk completely at night.

Taking more pictures, drinking more water and tea. NOT staying organized but working on it. Struggling keeping up with readings, and studying as I go. There just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day. Readings for every class, everyday, tests every two weeks, and papers. I’ve completed everything so far and stayed slightly more focused while studying. Allowing myself to sleep less and making myself sit in my chair occasionally. Haven’t skipped many classes, but nor have I made too much of an effort to participate, and I’m often falling asleep in history class.

Social skills are suffering. Only made one friend in classes, and have not been trying to talk to strangers or smiling. Have not been going out much. Turned down playing volleyball, and going to the winter ball due to body issues. Working on this too. Spending a lot more time with Kyle, and trying to fit in with my floor like Adri is. Also going to be participating and attending lots of school activities in February.
Money is a bit out of control.

Beauty isn’t really happening. Wardrobe needs work, skin is going nuts, fat is not going away. Money is not being tracked or controlled very well. Cleanliness of the room is a work in progress. I clean once a week but it is still a struggle. I make my bed 3/7 days probably and the plates and papers pile up on the desk. Clothes and towels pile up in the closet and under the desk.I do laundry every Sunday.
Working on it! Having Kyle over helps because it motivates me to clean.

• Wake up @ 9-10 EVERYDAY
• I’d like to start going to the sauna in the morning a once or twice a week..
• Go to drop in yoga classes a few times a week
• Eat better. Cut out the junk. Eat at regular times.
  – Breakfast, lunch, supper
• Stop eating after 10pm
• Keep my notes organized and up to date in binders
• Start reviewing and studying on a regular basis. Focus
• Start working towards fitness goals.

• Drink more water and tea.

A lot of great things have happened this semester. I’ve met a lot of awesome people, learning lots from their stories, experienced MANY new things, found new confidence in my ability to adapt to new surroundings and developed crazy independence.
Drinking and pot has been kept under control ^ _ ^;
_.>>Proud<<. I’m really responsible about that stuff for the most part and I don’t worry about either of them. I avoid drinking, I’d rather get high. But yeah that is another topic..

Somethings have gotten out of control though..

• I haven’t spent TOO much money but for the last month I haven’t kept track, and I have to start doing that.
• I have developed some bad eating habits. Junk food, pastries *and pizza and large portion. Belly is getting big.
• Partying messes up priorities occasionally..
• Studying has not been happening
• SLEEP. I have become a vampire.
• Have not been exercising!

This may be harder then I had originally thought. Starting out is always difficult. I am adjusting though, some days are just harder then others.
