The Summer Has Come to an End.
A lot has happened this summer. I've been on 3 vacations! I went to Universal Studios with some friends, to the Smokey Mountains with my family, and to Disney World (All 4 parks) with Chris' family. In between vacations there was several parties. I'm not much of a "Party Hardy" person, but I still enjoyed myself. On two occasions, maybe too much. Other then that there has been far too many birthday presents to pay for and a few stupid arguments. Sadly, I didn't meet my goal of going to Yoga class twice a week. Although lately I have been able to slip in some exercise. I've also developed a skin condition know as Eczema (AKA Atopic Dermatitis), which has presented many problems for me, but thankfully its a treatable condition. In the scheme of things, its not that big of a deal, but I can sometimes get rashes that make me very self conscious.
Additionally, I've gained weight! Although in a good way. I felt that my BMI was too low. I'm trying to get it to be at least a 20. I read that if your BMI is too low or too high then it can affect your fertility. I don't want children yet, but I still don't want there too be any future problems.
My best friend Marie moved back to Miami, although sadly she lives very far away and we tend to have opposite schedules. However, she will always be my best friend because no matter what she is there for me when I truly need her. Sometimes we go weeks without talking to each other, but then when we do its like no time has passed. In my book thats what's really makes someone your best friend. If you can connect with someone on another level even though there has been a large gap of time and even though you are entirely different people then when you first met, then that is a person you have to hold on to.
Next on the agenda, tomorrow is me and Chris' 4 year and 6 month anniversary. We have to run a few errands in the morning before Lina's DMV test, but after that we are going to eat dinner and play games together at Dave and Busters. It doesn't sound like much, but thats all I need. All I want is time alone together, anywhere really, where we can just escape responsibility and have fun. Love doesn't have to be big fancy dinners and flowers (although that would be kind of nice), it can just be sweet and carefree. Sometimes I want to feel like a kid again. Being with Chris is like that. I can just be free, silly, and dance while baking cookies. When I'm away from him, the world bares down on me like a ton of bricks. He is my salvation.
On a less serious note... School starts on Monday and then my birthday is on Tuesday. I'm excited to go back to school because even though I love the freedom that comes with summer- I also hate it. I prefer to have a busy schedule. I'm not excited for my birthday though... I don't want to be 20. I have only one week left of being a teenager. That depresses me. I always wanted to be responsible and to be an adult, but I still don't think I'm ready. If we could afford it, Chris and I would already be married. And I fully intend on having a child around the age of 25 but it all depends on how much money we have saved up. But even with all my hopes, the actual act of growing up is very complicated and conflicting. When do I pay for things, and when do my parents? Do I pay for my doctors visits? Its gets awkward sometimes.
Anyway, back to school. I'm looking forward to it. I've been reading this book called "Study Smarter, Not Harder" that is extremely interesting. I can't wait to try its methods in my actual studying. This semester I'm taking 5 classes, and a prep course for the Accounting Entrance Exam. My schedule is really tough though. Monday-Thursday isn't that bad because I only have 2 classes Monday/Wednesday and 1 class on Tuesday/Thursday but Friday is going to be horrible. I have 3 classes back to back starting at 9AM and then from 6:25-9:05PM I have my prep course. I know it has to be done, but a 12 hour work day is really draining! Also I have 1 online class.
Oh well, I'll see how things work out. I'm getting braces on September 17th. Invisalign didn't work out.
