Life Update Part III
Smaller than before...I was thinking of a few things when I woke up this morning, thing I felt I should mention.
I quit smoking.
I never really talked about smoking here (at least to my immediate recollection) but I have smoked on and off (though mostly on) for the past eight years. I made a decision a while ago that I would not touch a cigarette once I turned thirty years old. I soon modified that, saying I should quit smoking after I finished my Master's Degree, so I could quit before I moved to Oregon. Two days after my defense I got sick, and the pain in my lungs and throat made me unable to even touch a cigarette. It's going on two weeks now, and I still haven't smoked. It hasn't been easy, but the thought of smoking has been worse than going through the nicotine withdrawl. I had a chance with the sickness, and I decided to run with it. It's been most rough at work...but I have had a pack and a half of cigarettes, complete with lighter, sitting on my bookshelf this entire time and I haven't felt tempted.
And languages....I am being pushed to speak in German more by a co-worker who took a semester of German at the Junior College...so I am shaking the rust off my German skills. At the moment I am listening to Austria One radio.
Don't ask...I'm just weird.
