Things are good. My transfer to UWM went through, on time, with very little difficulty. There were some residual financial aid delays due to my snafu from last years taxes but its all clear now. I'm living in the Sandburg dorms, south tower room 220A. My roomate is tolerable. Shes very young and into drugs and I'm neither so we don't have much to talk about and thats really ok. She keeps her extracurriculars out of the dorm room so I have no complaints.
Matt is still in Keno but thats doing ok too. My ex from a few months ago is moving to millwaukee on saturday and it will be good to see him again. We ended on good terms so hopefully we can hook up again. He understands now that i'm serious about my rules so I think he'll do better at following them. He only broke one and only half seriously at that so I forgive him.
I'm taking:
CHEM 106 - Chemistry in the World Around Us--Chemistry for the Non-Science Major
ECON 103 - Principles of Microeconomics
GEOG 110 - The World: Peoples and Regions
GLOBAL 202 - Introduction to Global Studies III: Globalization and Technology
PHILOS 204 - Introduction to Asian Religions
and doing well, I'm even passing Economics which is suprising. Spaz is up here in Milwaukee too though he lives off campus with a friend. We are supposed to go to the UW drag show after exalted on saturday.
I pinched a nerve in my hand and they are making me wear a carpal tunnel splint for 2 weeks to see if it clears itself up, if not I have to go see a specialist. its driving me batty, I use my "off" hand a lot more than other people since i'm a (admitedly right dominant) ambidex so i feel disabled not being able to use my left hand for really anything but typing slowly and holding things that only require my fingers.
I gave up meat again on monday, I'm doing very well, my body is in the transitioning phase where its getting used to all the new things in my diet I wasn't getting much of before. You know, fiber, vitamins, that kind of thing. The real test will be the weekend.
I met with a physical trainer on Tuesday. I did a full physical and fitness profile. On Monday she (her name is sarah) is going to give me the tour of the fitness center and teach me how all the equipment works. She's going to run me through a few minutes on each machine so I know how to use them and not hurt myself since I've never used any of them before. She is writing me a workout schedule based on half an hour to an hour of exercise a day, 5 days a week. She is focusing me mostly on cardio for the moment. I'm supposed to start with half an hour a day and try to work my way up to a full hour as I feel like I'm able.
The focus is on getting me in shape, not so much weight loss. I would rather be healthy than thin, she seemed excited to hear me say that. Apparently most girls my size that come in just want to loose weight and so don't really have the focus to do it properly. I just want to not huff and puff on stairs anymore. She says weight loss will follow health so, who knows, if I stick with it maybe I'll get bolth, that would be nice.
I'm working with my advisor to design my major. They have exactly what I wan't just not for the language I want it in. so we are designing one, apparently since we are designing it on a program that exists and keeping it very close to the original i can do that and thats kinda cool.
So thats my update, pretty good in all.
