Running, eating, TV, anime and the job hunt. XD Will update more after running.
Exercise/Weight Loss: Okay, so pretty much, the last two weeks UTTER FAIL for my exercise and weight loss regiment. XD; I really need to stop calorie counting, but it's soooo hard when Al's house has no snacks and all these meals or we go out to eat. D: Terrible I know, but I don't know how to cook.
I'm trying to start anew again. Luckily, I weighed myself this Sunday, as I do every week, and I only lost half a pound. @_@ Ugh.
Start: 163 (Like a month ago?)
So far: 158 (Last Sunday, Aug 9th)
I was going to make a separate diary/journal for this, but then again, that's what tags are for. XD It would probably be more organized and I'd feel more... INTO THE MOOD of writing a more concise report. I suppose I will try and start tomorrow. (Just like with everything else, I always tend to forget. And this was supposed to be posted like XD days ago)
Anyway, while I have gotten a little more stamina, my progress is quite stunted as I keep eating badly while counting calories and not exercising consistently. I try to keep my minimum of 3x running a week with 2x strength routine, but I've been hitting below that last week. Ugh. XD I blame jury duty.
This week has been going alright so far. It's only been two days. Today, I run my usual 3ish miles. I haven't been able to run/jog the entire way yet, but my goal is to be able to do that one day. So far, the backwards loop is still a lot harder for me, despite it's the exact same route as the forward loop. (Forward, backward, XD it's just arbitrary for me.)
Ugh and I finally have money to buy some sunscreen. Ugh, I know, I'm terrible, don't judge me, XD I've been running for a month or so, but I odn't really need it in cloudy SF, but here in sunny SJ, uh yeah. I've never had sunburn before (technicaly, only one very easy skin peeling, but even then it was't even noticeable) and I never want to. I always put on sunscreen, except for the past month when I didn't have money.
Anyway. I hate reeking of sunscreen because I *RUN*. I don't swim, so it's not like I smell like the pool. And ugh, I need Al to teach me how to swim. (Yes again, I am a pathetic being who can't swim. Or drive.) And even after I shower and such, I still reek of sunblock somewhat. >_< Anyone have any solutions to this?
I'm about to go run in about 20-30 minutes so I'll get ready after I write this diary entry.
TV: Wooooo! ABDC is back on! ABDC 4! And I'm still watching Hell's Kitchen.
Anime: Yeah I thoguht this died with me 2-3 years ago when I stopped cosplaying and stopped having tons of money.
I'm re-watching Shounen Onmyouji because I've always loved the theme song and designs and story and pretty characters. I saw it when it was showing at AX like back in 2007. I bought hte first DVD and never got back into it.
Job Hunt: I've been applying to jobs since June, but it's not like I apply to a job everyday. @_@ It's hard to find lab tech/biotech jobs, and I have no research experience... so in this economy, I'm pretty sure no one wants me unless they feel sorry for me or something.
I did get an interview but that was only cause I had the hook up with a soon-to-be relative. ::sigh:: But I think I failed the interview process.
And the process exhausted me, even though my letters aren't fully customized. Yeah yeah I know, I need to fully customize each letter to each company/job. Job hunter tips say that you should do research on the company and try to address the letter who's actually hiring/supervising the job. However, how the hell do you do that with huge ass companies, and how do you actually find the person or even the department that's hiring? It seems fucking impossible.
Like how am i supposed to know that Dept A is doing this and that mini-company is in charge of B, and that department is overseeing a new project C with person D doing the hirign? How the hell do you find that out on a fuckign website? Most websites won't even have that sort of information.
I hate making customizeable letters because I don't know what the hell I'm talking about most of the time. It's like I'm making guesses to what the damn company/hiring person wants to hear. I also don't like re-writing some of my paragraphs because it's stuff I would say ANYWAY, and I don't want to write it over AGAIN.
So tiring IMO. Yeah I know, it sounds pathetic since I don't do much anyway, but still. >_< I'd have to spend days researching the damn position if not WEEKS and the job might close in that time.
God, I just want a starter job. I don't even mind working for free if they'd just train/let me get experience and references from them.
Oh well. I gotta go. Gonna run soon. :3 Will update some more later after running.
