Long needed update

I havent actually written a blog in a while, and even though all of my friends have converted to myspace and facebook, I think its time to update.

Since my last update (roughly a year ago) a lot has happened to me.

I started Delstate and ended up doing really well. I am a french major now, and I have only 17 classes until graduation. I have applied and interviewed to study abroad in Senegal this summer, and I will find out whether or not Im accepted in about 2 weeks. Im also taking Arabic and Japanese.

I am no longer with Donavon. He cheated on me in June with a guy he met on the internet and then lied to me when i found out. We tried to make it work for a few months and then in September, after him showing me time and time again that I was not a priority to him, I left him. We were talking about getting back together in November and we had decided to talk after january 1rst. I found out from a friend that he had a boyfriend, confirmed it, and decided to move on. I spent the next two months in a deep depression, the holidays were especially hard. I dated around, but didnt really find anything worthwhile. AND THEN on Newyears, I ended up hooking up with a coworker, who Ive been dating ever since. I really like him and hopefully this will go somewhere nice. :)

Since my last post, I've lost a lot of weight. I'm down to about a size 17/18. 18s are usually pretty loose on me. shweet.

I've been employed as a waitress since early last april. I hate my job lol but love my coworkers. Theyre all really cool, if not a little catty at times. oh well.

Ill be homeless in a few months...my family is moving to WV and I have to stay here and finish my degree. yay. Looking for roommates.

So yeah thats whats been up with me. :P

If I could sit next to any one on a plane from NY to LA who would it be?

Easy question. After about 3 seconds of thinking, the answer came to me: God! I mean, creator of the universe that would be really cool. Why God is heading toward LA on a plane would be beyond me, but this is fiction anyway-right?

   I would ask him all about creation, and if evolution had anything to do with it, or if he threw those bones below the ground just to lead us off the scent. Then I would talk to him about the platypus, and ask him where his inspiration for THAT came from.

   After that I would imagine we would talk about all sorts of things, nothing about my future. I could picture God giving me a punch in the shoulder (which would decidedly bruise) and telling me that if he told me about my future, he'd have to kill me, with a cheesy smile of course.

    I would ask him about the bible and if it was true that a murderer could repent and go to heaven and a gay man could spend his life doing good only to go to hell. I imagine he would tell me things like "Sometimes, I look at humans, I think; damn...I knew I should have carried the two." Then we would laugh at how humans have misinterpreted EVERYTHING that God had ever said.

    After which, I would ask him how he does the miracle thing. I think he would probably tell me that he doesn't do as much as people think he does, and that the least bit of good fortune is attributed to him. I don’t think he really minds though, its not like he's ever appeared to such people and said "Hey, I didn’t actually do that!"

    I think he would probably tell me interesting things about Jesus' childhood while in heaven. Like how the flood was created when toddler Jesus knocked over a cup of water on earth, or how the black plague came about because Jesus sneezed on Europe. I would imagine him saying things like "You know when things go kind of haywire, I chalk it up to my plan, and no one ever questions it." I would tell him that power like that seems really cool, and he would tell me he wears Batman pajamas. We would laugh again, because he would already know that I was wearing Batman undies. This would be funny, and neither of us would quite understand why.

    I imagine we could talk like this for hours, but by this time, our flight would probably be landing. So God would whip out his super iPhone and call his agent in Los Angeles to let him know he was landing. I would probably hug God and tell him I would see him again someday- to which he would reply, "Yeah, I know."

Finally some Good news

I start back to school January 15th. YAY!

Okay.. So heres a small update.

I moved back home with my parents (which isnt as bad as it sounds because Im 20 and still in school)

I transferred to Delaware State University...Not too shabby.. I dont know how it is yet because I start in two weeks.

Im still horridly unemployed, but Im still looking and stuff...

Good news:

Im starting to take my health seriously. Over the past couple weeks, Ive been working out and trying to eat healthy. This was especially hard over the holidays what with all the food and fast food and cheesecake...but it hardly matters.

Now, Im back home, and today I went shopping and spent 100 dollars on Whitney-Friendly food stuffs. This is especially important because my family are out and out carnivores-where as I stick to chicken and veggie things. Not to mention there was nothing but meat and junk food in this house, and I felt like there was nothing for me to eat. SOOOOO I bought some cereal that I would like, a few healthy snacks, lots of yogurt and salad making stuffs, some actual chicken so I can make chicken alfredo stuff, and some alfredo and marinara sauce for making pasta, wheat pasta, granola bars, vegetarian and health friendly quick dinners (lean cuisine mostly) a few hot pockets and such...and I designated where all of my food was that way no one else would get into it (not like they would but oh well.) I feel really good about this.

My Progress:

about oh...3 or 4 months ago, I was really getting fat. I mean seriously fat. I was up to a size 26 in pants, lord knows what in shirts...and that was scary. Anyone who knows plus size clothing knows that you dont get much higher than that-after size 26 youre into elastic and sweat shit. I didnt want to continue going down this path, and something in me just snapped. I feel like Ive said a lot of "oh i really wanna get my weight under control" and then just not done anything about it. This time, I feel really serious about it. I feel good after I work out, and I feel good when I eat right. Its not just an emotional or mentally feeling good either, its a physical good. I feel like I can conquer the world, and it makes me want to do it more often. Its getting easier and easier to do this, and it feels right.

That being said, Mom bought most of my Christmas clothes a little smaller than what i was when she bought them. I am down to an official size 22 (which is incredible to me) and the other day, I bought a pair of size 20 jeans...which I am currently wearing. It feels SO good to be into a size 20 jean, because after that, its size 18....and then after that, its size 16, and after that-its my goal. A size 14. Ideally, Id like to be a size 12. My general goal is a size 12/14.
