god; everything.
I really need to keep up with this thing more because I just remembered I have an awful memory and that's when a good journal would come in handy... You know, for remembering things.
God this winter break has been nothing short of amazing and it's been really, really long. I've been waiting for school to start primarily just to have something to do. My dad put me on a budget each month - which is good because I was doing that when I lived in NC, but now it seems a lot harder. I've already spent most of it on food/credit card bill/gas/etc. Now I just realized I have to buy 2 more books tomorrow and put gas in my car. Hopefully things will get easier on the money front when I get back into the swing of things.
Kevin and my one year anniversary is on March 14 and I can't believe he's put up with me for that long. I don't think I show him how much I really appreciate him and everything he does for me. He seriously puts up with me and my dog and that's a shitload of stuff to put up with. He lets my dog cuddle up next to him in the bed and doesn't try to push him off. I don't think I would give up this relationship for the world.

On Saturday we went to Justin Snow's 21st surprise birthday party which was a lot of fun. I really enjoy going to small parties and seeing everyone over and over again. It's so good to have a social life.
Yesterday, Kevin, Laura and I went to D.C. to visit Stab. He's going to Corcoran and pretty much ruling D.C. real hard. He's really happy up there it seems. He lives like 2 blocks away from Georgetown which is freaking awesome. He showed us the gallery at his school which he got us in for free.99 and they had a Warhol exhibit there which was awesome as expected. Then we ate at this really good Thai place that had a sketch ass bathroom. Their pad thai really gave us some gas though (mostly me I think). We missed Ikea due to being in the HOV lanes but that's okay, there's always more trips to D.C. in the future. I fell asleep on the way home for at least 45 minutes.
Laura and I are running a 5k in March, then a 10k in April (on my birthday). I'm really excited about both because that means I'm working out more and building up endurance I didn't know I had. I'm still sore from the gym on Saturday which is awful but it feels good all at the same time. We're eating healthier food and not bullshitting around with this (with the exception of this weekend since we had so much to do). We're going to the gym tomorrow after classes, then I'm meeting my mom at the gym at 5 to do more strength training.
Gus "graduated" from obedience school but we're re-doing the class because there's some more things we need to work on. Apparently it's normal for dogs to have to go through the class more than once which is mainly the owner's fault. Gus is extremely smart and quick at learning things, but it's fine that we go through this again. I like socializing him and learning new things about the dog and his behavior. I wish I would have done this with Bruiser. Speaking of Bruiser, Kevin framed a picture of me and Bruiser in a frame Sarah bought me for Christmas. It's sitting on my nightstand.
Everyone that's my age is pregnant it seems. That's a bit ridiculous but whatever.
We made a cheesecake tonight with my Aunt Judy's recipe. It's bomb as crap. Like really good. I didn't make the crust though - maybe next time.
I really need to get to bed and get ready for my first day of my second semester at VCU. This is scary/kind of/not really. I'm just worried about passing all my classes since I am now officially on ACADEMIC WARNING. Which means if I get below a 2.0 for this next semester I get kicked out. Shit. I'll be fine. I hope.
