i'm suckin on a pretzel rod and avoiding work. but what else is new?

it's been a month since i last wrote in here. what has happened?

-i see clapton with nate. good time.
-two floor party here. craziness ensues.
-school, school, and more school takes over my life.
-nate and i go on a hot date, sparks fly. drink and dance the night away at fish co.
-i start applying to colleges for the fall. who woulda thought it'd be so hard to get into nursing at every community college in massachusetts?!
-halloween party at kyle's. i am athena, nate is caesar. together we create a whole new cross-breeding greco-roman pantheon.
-have three weekends in a row where the apartment is mine and all mine. walking around naked may or may not occur.
-finally able to last a whole weekend without touching an ounce of homework. much movie-watching and spooning takes place.
-i go to the gym three days a week, determined to acquire 8-pack abs. i'd go more were it not for the fact that i work wed and fri, and the school gym isn't open on the weekends, it being a community college and all.

classes are going well.  i go to my old testament class at 9, gym at ten. i really love the testament class.  i am the only non-christian or jew in the class, i believe. and definitely the only one that does not believe in the judeo-christian god. it's interesting to sit back with a non-religious point of view and watch everyone else incorporate their personal beliefs into the way they interpret the literature.  during our midterm presentations, one girl even ended hers with the sentence "so you better start obeying God!" haha, my teacher was like ahhh you can't say that!  i was amused.  anyway, it's a really interesting story and i'm enjoying learning it from a scholarly point of view.

i'm also really really getting into the anatomy.  i already knew a lot about it beforehand, as i have always been very interested in medicine. so i have about a 103 average in that class or something stupid.  i find myself looking at chapters ahead just for the fun of it...something i def don't do in other classes! i'm a dork, i know. but really, if i didn't care so much about my relationships, and value my free time so much...i'd have loved becoming a doctor.

i'm trying really hard to keep myself in a good place.  as of late i have been a human rollercoaster of hormones, laughing one minute and crying at nothing the next.  i am determined to take better care of myself, though. the gym has become my therapy on class days.  i read silly woman magazines like good housekeeping while i do three miles on the elliptical. it passes the time and i like the stories.  and stretching has becoming my (sort-of) meditation time.i've been trying to eat well, and have been doing ok at it.  nate and i have a real dinner together almost every night, which gives me something to look forward to at the end of the day. it's nice to have some regularity in my life. this is the closest to a normal 9-5 schedule i've had in years!  weekends off, leave in the morning, almost always home by dinnertime. life is good.  i have lots of schoolwork, but i haven't been doing too much procrastinating, so i'm staying on top of it.

i feel like writing something deep and profound. but after thinking about procrastination, i have decided to bid thee farewell in order to go take my exam for my online psych class. i'm sure there will be more to come.
