Productivity Level: 10/10
Within the last 20 minutes, my day went from fairly nice to excellent. I'll start from the beginning.
On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have Tai Chi at 9:05 AM. This is hilarious. Of course this is only funny if you really know me. Clearly, I'm not a morning person. I ended up in this class because every other later time was taken and I really want to get my physical/health education requirements over with. So I went ahead and bit the bullet, so they say, and just did it. Its just unfortunate that I have already missed all the days that I can without failing the class (they never give you enough sick days!), because this morning I was a wreck. I went up to Ben's room last night around 2 or 3 AM (After I had completed my philosophy paper, very proud about that.) and we decided to stay up all night. This might sound ridiculous and stupid (maybe it was after all, oh well) but it made perfect sense at the time. We both had classes really early and we usually stay up late anyways. I have been staying up really really late (or early)--till about 6 or 7 AM. It wasn't till 8 AM that I started acting somewhat goofy, very non-sober-ish, if you know what I mean. It was all fun until I had to walk to class in chilly weather. Did I mention I have been sick, lately? Well I have been up and down with sickness, some days are better than others. It use to be a severe cold, now it has all settled into my chest. So while the fever and the severity of the coughing,sneezing,runny nose has diminished, my lungs are very sore, my chest is tight and whatnot. So I guess maybe when I went rushing through the cold weather to the Begley building (its pretty distant from my dorm), it sort of agitated my respiratory system. I felt like I had asthma, my throat was on fire and my head hurt so bad. I guess the fact I haven't been exercising probably didn't help either. Well I made it out okay. I went to class and had a lovely time goofing up the moves considering my body was loopy from no sleep. The teacher loved it. He eats it up, I'm sure.
So I got back to my dorm and laid down for a bit. I didn't try to sleep, because I wanted to see if I could get back on a normal sleeping schedule. It didn't happen. But while I was awake I did get a call from Ms. Shirley Green. She is in head of hiring night desk workers for the school. Lucky me, cause I put in my SECOND application like 2 months ago. Geez! They should warn high school students interested in a campus job to apply as early as possible. Anyways, she said that she wanted me to come in that very same day, without notice, so I can get my schedule straightened out. I was a little bit resentful, but I wasn't going to refuse this job that I have been wanting for forever. Its a pretty sweet deal, or at least I think so. The job consists of sitting, and signing people in and watching TV, or studying (if you are not me). So I agreed I would come up within a few hours (She was going to lunch, and I was still resting my exhausted body) but I ended up falling asleep...who would have thought? I did make it to Shirley's office eventually--but she wasn't there. Another "in head of" person was though and said to come back tomorrow and that everything would be straightened out then. So I left and went back to my dorm and slept till 7 PM. I got up and eliminated 2 of the 10 things that were on my "to do" list. This might not seem a lot, but I have in total eliminated 4 of the 10 things to do on my list. I think that is decent considering that I just made this list last night and I'm a slacker. Also, one thing to do cannot be checked off till the end of this week anyway (Go to the gym all week).
And I did go to the gym today. This was after I finished my Astronomy AND English homework. I went and worked out the usual 50 minutes on the elliptical. However, I didn't do the weights tonight since I haven't exercised in a while. A few days ago I was laying around with Ben and felt slimmer than usual. This is very odd since I haven't (in my opinion) been doing so hot with my diet and exercise. I don't really diet, I just try and eat nutritious and not kill myself with junk. And I haven't been monitoring the foods I ate and so I guess I end up feeling like everything I eat is bad for me- giving me this impression that I'm eating bad. Of course now that I look back on it, I have been eating carrots and apples and pears and whole grain bread sandwiches and reduced fat triscuits. There were the times that I did have the burger and the two grilled chicken sandwiches (They were from fast food places.) and the two orders of fries. But the burger was a junior cheeseburger and the chicken sandwiches were on wheat bread and were grilled. Either way at the time I thought I felt thinner than usual, I felt I was eating pretty bad. But when I went to the gym tonight and weighed myself after my workout (boy, was I fretting that moment) I had lost 5 lbs! I was very excited and very grateful of my new eating habits. It was--awesome. And thats the news that I had just found out 20 minutes ago, and here I am feeling rather refreshed from the gym and ready for tomorrow. Hopefully my classes will go smoothly tomorrow and my productivity can be as good as it was today. Have a great night everyone!
