I love when people talk about alcohol ALL THE TIME.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy drinking from time to time, but if your life revolves around alcohol, you have a huge problem. Also, you're really annoying.
Break was cool. I got to see a bunch of stuff that I didn't get to see last time I was in DC, like the Jefferson Memorial (monument?), the Holocaust museum, the American Indian museum (not that great - don't go), Ford's Theater (where Lincoln was killed), Arlington Cemetery...I think that's all.
Also, I usually hate tourist shirts, because they remind me of obese white trash women (I know it sounds mean, but you know what I'm talking about) (also, that's probably half of my relatives...maybe that's why the shirts bother me so much...), but I found the coolest one, so had to get it. It's the face of George Washington (the same face on the $1 bill), and it says "DC" after it. Washington DC. Get it?
I thought it was awesome. So I got it.
I didn't eat healthy AT ALL over break, but I feel like I'm really learning to control myself. Normally, if there's good food in front of me, I eat it, and I eat it all, because...it's good. But this week I made sure to think about what I was eating, and I stopped eating whenever my stomach felt content, and I'm really happy about that. So I lost a pound this week, which I'm really excited about, because I thought since I ate so much unhealthy food, I would definitely gain weight. A Chipotle burrito (so fucking good I almost cried. I could eat Chipotle every day), Mexican another day, Chinese, Denny's (2 blueberry granola pancakes (fucking amazing), 1/2 piece of french toast, and 2 sausage links). Anyway. I found that really exciting.
So I have a research paper due next Tuesday in my Sexual Histories class, a take-home exame due the same day in my WWII class, and an in-class test in my New Testament class THE SAME DAY. That really sucks. So I should probably spend time working on that shit instead of Livejournal...I guess...
Oh, also, I read 2 books over break, which is more than I've read in a long time.
Cat's Cradle and Mother Night, both by Kurt Vonnegut. Highly recommended. Vonnegut is a genius. I wish I could meet him, but he's dead.
