Catching Up.

Ok so I have about 3 posts waiting to be published but I haven't submitted them yet. Something always happens that keeps me from finishing.... Stupid Windows 7. I need to reinstall Ubuntu (on wubi), but my windows keeps crashing when i try to. d'oh.

Enough geek speak....

I miss my college town. Completely while I love the major city I'm near, I hate the suburb I'm in. In my college town, I feel freer. I've been looking at old pictures and seeing how far I've come, the people I grew to care about and love and the things I've done in 4 years. The sucky part is I have one more year (yaay for changing majors) and all my friends have graduated (but i get one more football season). I've been contacting people that I haven't talked to in a few years, planning to hang out with a few good friends and bonding with my cousins. It all seems so strange to think that with some of these people I used to see weekly and sometimes daily, those meetings will become all too rare. For example, I grabbed coffee once a week for 4 years with my roommate freshman year and honestly sometimes it was the only thing i had to look forward to in a week. Now my dear friend is moving to a different town, and moving on to bigger things. I'm proud of her and know she'll go far, but I'll definitely miss seeing her :(

Another random memory that makes me smile is freshman year I went to a friends house for dinner. My friend's parents, unsure of my religious beliefs and dietary restrictions were unsure of what to provide me. I remember after sitting down to dinner for lamb chops (I believe) my friend's mom said "I wasn't sure if you ate meat so I made pork too." It made no sense but it still makes me smile.

I remember singing Fall Out Boy at the top of out lungs (Are we going up or just doing down?), trying on dresses at the Mall. Cramming idk how many people in the back of a hatch back. Playing cards in the dorm lobby (spoons :) ) Running around campus (esp at night or really early in the day). Dealing with creepy stalkers (i still do this tho). Randomly making friends while working the front desk at the library. Helping to start my sorority :)

All in all, I wouldn't really change much about my past 4 years. Maybe just that I would study more freshman year :)

What are some of your favorite memories?

Return

Hello friends! :) I'm back from my 10 day trip to India.

While away I took a lot of time to think about this blog.... mostly in my 3 day hospital stay for food poisoning.... yaay ):

So I'm doing research on my next topic - The Standard.

until then a thought for you to ponder...
while I was in the hospital I began to wonder if I was taking care of my body properly. while in general I do, but I don't go out of my way to. So my goal is to get fit (well.... toned) and eat well for 2 weeks. I lost about 5 lbs since my hospital stint and i would like to get those lbs back.... in a healthy way. On the plus side, I lost the tiny bit of pudge that was on my abs...... so a six pack is within reach :)
So on the Lunch menu today:
Calcuim Enriched pasta with olive oil/garlic/lemon/peas and Cajun Style Fried Fish (more like seared, not deep fried), With strawberries and granola for dessert :)

Think away!
