i weighed myself the other day, and it turns out i have lost about 30 pounds in the last two months. most people say "congrats" and "yay for lisa." however, my friends in nursing say that it's unhealthy and resemblant of anorexia. i'm not purposely starving myself... i eat when i'm hungry (which i guess isn't as often as most) and it takes very little to fill me up. and i do a lot of walking around campus and at work. i don't have some psychopathology telling myself that i am too fat and no one could ever love me if i don't lose weight. yeah being skinnier is a plus in its own right, but i'm really quite unhealthy. jason says there are five main symptoms relevant to almost any disease: 1) fatigue 2) loss or increase in appetite 3) chronic and/or temporal pain or aches 4) insomnia (too much or too little sleep, having trouble falling asleep or waking up) 5) decrease in the immune system yeah, i'd say i have all those. but i'm also somewhat of a hypochondriac, so who knows? i swear i have tinnitus. and i'll probably get cancer. and then i'll die. oh what happy days. so most of my midterms were postponed to this week, and i've been busy busy busy. monday was okay, just general classes, lectures, too much coffee making me rush across campus to find the nearest bathroom before class starts, etc. tuesday was my social psych test. wednesday was my group presentation in world lit - an analysis of T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land." in addition to the presentation, we have to turn in a paper about it. Yuck, that was hard to do. today was my physio psych test over all the sensory systems of the body. i also have a paper due in social psych. then tomorrow is another group presenation for my research/stats class - we are analyzing observations of awkward behavior presented when strangers are waiting for elevators. then after work, dinner at grandma's! i'd tell you what's to eat, but it's a birthday dinner for my dad and the cuisine is a surprise. i'm not sure if he reads this or not, so it's better left unsaid until the weekend. i know, i know, grandma's dinner is SOOO fascinating, you just have to know right now! anyhoo, saturday = work, getting all costumed up, and then party hopping until i'm too drunk to drive. i don't need to get into an accident. my brother already took care of that when he hit some old lady's dog! apparently the dog fucked up the front of his car. oh well, it happens to all of us. well, not me. i haven't hit anything living yet...unless you count grass. so every tuesday night my friends and i meet up at B-Dub's for wings and drinks and maybe some darts. i invited hannah and jason this week. with hannah it was kind of awkward. i hadn't seen or spoken to her in the last 6 months, and when we left off, we hated each other, or at least i hated her. but i saw her online and decided to say hello and apologize for what happened in the past. at B-Dub's she was okay, I guess. she was cute until she started drinking, and then she was just loud and annoying. but i still hung out with her...she beat be at darts god damn it! it was a lucky bullseye that did me in. my friend alejandro paid her 5 bucks to kiss me, so the next thing i know she turns me around and starts making out with me. it wasn't a huge deal since we've made out in the past, but it did take me by surprise. at least she got some money out of it. although she could have given me half for borrowing so many cigarettes from me all night. oh well. i'm a giver. :) later that evening i ended up going over to jason's apartment. it's friggin' beautiful. we stole a huge broken clock off the wall in the laundry room. apparently his building was built in the 1920's and he still has some of the original lighting and plumbing fixtures. there's even a little room where the servant would have lived (now turned into a pantry). but i loved the high ceilings, wooden floors, and chessboards all over the damn place. we played with some brass pieces he got in Egypt, but the game ended in a stalemate. he taught me some guitar, and i ended up sleeping over in his african-themed bedroom (actually quite nice) until his phone went off at 7 in the morning. damn it! i had to rush to school in my stinky day-old clothes, without my backpack, and write my speech for that morning. luckily i found a copy of the poem online because i didn't have any books with me. i even had to buy a legal pad just so i'd have some paper to take notes with for the day. but at least i went to school, which is more than i can say for my freshman year. BUT... i've gotta head over to one of the dorms and do some elevator observations. catch you on the flipside. |
