FINAO
I swear, I am running to stand still.
I got back my first batch of writings only to find that they are not what she wanted (I want to say they are bad, but i don't think they are) I think they are just living in Angus World and that is not the world of academia. I guess I was hoping to just be average
So I spent like one hour listening to everyone and thinking, "Man, this American experience is not something I am familiar with". I feel I am struggling. I really have to "Knock it up a notch".
I sometimes find I just have the overall grasp of what these people are talking about. Or I am floundering.
FINAO!
OK... Now some positives!
We organized a group in our residence and branded ourselves CRAP (Construction-Noise Reduction Associated Persons). Last night we met with NYU 'official' people and they heard us out. I have to say, I lost my temper just listening to them trying to be all 'nicey-nicey'. They said they would halt the construction and see if they can change the dates of doing the construction.
I am not too sure if I have mentioned this. It really has been an all-consuming thing these past few weeks. I have not talked about it on here because I really am trying to stay positive. But I should mention, I did start the ball rolling with the very first email to my RA and to the NYUHousing people. I agitated the longest and I am planning to get some gains.
Last night was a small victory for me and for us.
I lost some weight and am able to wear a pair of really nice pants I purchased 2 years ago, hoping I would lose the weight to wear it. I still need to buy a few shirts. I did not bring as many as I thought I did. I am still not eating properly mainly because we have a sucky kitchen but I am cooking about 1-2 two times per week and making sandwiches a lot. Oh, and a lot of fruits, mostly bananas and apples. I also am consuming a lot of dried fruit, especially when I am working or reading. I am not sure if that is good or bad as yet.
I crave a real soda... Ok I had a root beer last week... but it was a small can... Resistance is futile! but resist I must!
My roomie and I are getting along and the more we chat, the more I like him. We will see if we do get a place together after (or during) this year.
So good and bad. Let's dwell on the good and know that I am planning to try harder.
