Recently I have noticed that when I take a hands of approach to life, everything that I want to happen starts happening. I have always been the girl who likes to control the situation and then make sure that everything goes according to plan, and if there are any bumps in the road to make sure the crash isn't as bad as it could be or properly navigate the field of moguls as I'm flying down the mountain at the speed of life.
Some interesting things have been happening lately, first and foremost, my continued success at weight loss. Thursday is my weekly weigh date so I won't bore you with the fact that I've had a hotdog this week, or that Easter dinner was amazing and I could have eaten that whole roast given the opportunity. My way of getting to this point in my life was the usual control freak me, but the last two weeks I have just had a "who gives a damn" attitude. I've been still doing the slim fast stuff, but now only for breakfast, and now I am just managing my intake/output a lot better. I did have a delish hamburger the other night, but I believe that was balanced out by a long walk I had afterward. I think the universe is starting to pay me back for the positives I've been putting out!
Secondly, the semester is nearly over. THANK GOD. I can't tell you how anxious I am to be done with school. I have a serious tan to work on and you don't get that by going to lectures. Heh, but I still work in the evenings. School has been a series of roller coasters and long lines this semester, and I can't wait to leave the theme park. Because of my unnerving connection with reality and all things technological I get a play by play on all of my friends. I love being able to send them messages whenever I want, and in most cases get some kind of immediate response. I have a new friend who is so off the grid it drives me insane. Absolutely INSANE. But in a good way I think. The people you meet every day are there for a reason. You are supposed to learn lessons from everybody in your life whether they be big or small and recently I have learned SO MUCH from my friends. Even the younger ones that I feel the need to play big sister to. Being a big sister is totally weird. Did you know I have a half sister? Talk about awkward. Shes a great kid, but damn, I have no idea what to say to her half the time. But you know, hands off approach :) Growing up as an only child has definitely stunted my ability to share with all the other kids... ya know what I mean?
This whole 2011 has been a gigantic eye opening experience for me. HUGE. So many things have happened and its only April... Almost May but still... I have met some of the most awesome people this year and I really hope that they stick around! AKA when you folks run off after graduation, or when I run off after graduation/getting my black belt we stay in touch. Seriously. I'm getting the fuck out of America for a year after college. Then I will come back and go to grad school. Med school. Or if I get completely frustrated with that... Law school. But for now, its going to be Dr. Bobo. And yes, I will continue to be a medical reference book when you don't want to talk to a real doctor or use google.
Life finally gave me some strawberry lemon aid.
