It's been a while. Almost a month since I've posted. Not too much to report.
I got my hair cut, and colored. It is lovely. I've been enjoying up until now the much cooler weather. I still have a nice summer glow to begin the school year with. In general things seem to be going okay.
I got my motorcycle license. It'll come in the mail in another week or so.
I bought a new pair of sneakers to go along with the exercise program I plan I following. I am taking a course called PED 291, Individualized Session. Essentially I get a college credit for making a work-out plan and attaining my goals. How sweet is that? I should get them in the mail today or tomorrow.
This is the first year I have all my financial aid matters taken care of before school starts. No stress-fest come the beginning of September!
I have a job at Starbucks that I start soon. I still have 3 other job opportunities that offer much better money that I am working on getting interviews for. At the very least I do have a fall-back job and I believe training starts next week. Thanks to my current job, I still have 2 paychecks coming so I will not freak out about being broke just yet.
I managed to procure money to pay for all my books. Now I won't have to worry about that either. When I get my small refund in October I can put the money back in my account. The money is already in my bank account so if I need to buy online, I don't have to wait around for deposits to clear or Adam to let me use his ATM card.
This past week itself has been pretty good. I managed to go home early from work twice, I got a full day off yesterday just because the park has been so slow! I really needed it. It was my only day off before school. I got someone to switch a shift with me today without any begging so that I can go to Jackie's going away party. I managed to find a couple good pairs of jeans to fit me and that were cheap. I bought my SU parking passes a couple weeks ago so I didn't need to fret about coming up with that money either. Essentially I planned out the execution of my going back to school to be as stress-free as possible. I really hope things stay this way.
I also got more of my arm worked out yesterday. Adam had a haircut appointment that we showed up an hour early for, so we hung out with Taylor for a while. His appointment did a no-show and I figured I'd spend the bit of money I was going to waste on a new jacket, to get more stuff done. It looks so much better! A bunch more of the black work was done. He fixed a bunch of things that had been bugging me, and he started working on the top of my shoulder. It looks so much more completed. I cannot wait until it is finished! It had been over 8 months since I've had any work done on it. As much as it hurts, I am glad I got it done. Now I just hope I am not expected by my scuba instructor to have to go in the pool in the next two weeks.
I've lost a total of about 15lbs so far. This second month has been a steady plateau for me which sucks, but I still managed to lose a few pounds which is on par with the medication. I feel confident that with this exercise plan I will be starting, the weight will continue to drop. My doctor has approved me to be on it for a good number of months or until I reach my goal weight. We haven't established what that is yet, but I'll figure it out.
So that is about it. Classes start Monday. Fair on Friday. My birthday in less than 2 months. Things are good.
