Post Travels
So I found a scale the other day. In my apartment. Must have been one of the various roommates I’ve had move in and out of my place. Stepped on it and realized that in the last 2 month, I’ve gained 20 lbs. So I’ve decided that I need to lose 30. Apparently eating all that steak in Argentina and then all that food in China, not to mention all the alcohol, has really added up. I mean I had started thinking that I now look more like a “before” pic than an “after,” the fact that I have a definitive number now to verify my suspicions, I’ve decided to take more action. Never had very good success at losing weight. Probably b/c I always end up just gaining muscle weight, not to mention I love to eat too much. It’s a good thing I decided a while back to forgo sex indefinitely b/c I certainly wouldn’t want to see myself w/o clothes on right now. Lol. Man, I can’t decide if that’s a sad statement…or just really hilarious. Hmm…
In case anyone was wondering, China was awesome. It felt like I was there forever. Probably because I hit up so many cities and so few days (family too spread out) and b/c it felt so natural to be there again. I REALLY need to move abroad. I love the sense of anonymity that comes with being abroad. I can be whoever, do whatever, act however I want. No random reputation. One of the things I hate the most about Athens is when I’m out dt and some random Central person suddenly yells out “hey! It’s Sissi Chen!!” and them promptly turns to his friends and go “she was out Valedictorian!!!!” Um, why does that have to be my label? Why couldn’t I just be “oh, just some girl.” I also hate it when people ask where I went to college and I can see the glint in their eye change when the realize it’s an Ivy. Like “oooh, well lets treat her differently b/c she must be stuck up.” *sigh* being judged really pisses me off and it happens so much. Maybe b/c in the South, I’m the girl who went to school up north. In the North, I’m the girl from the South. Etc. I should start telling ppl I never went to college just to try something new…But I digress.
Back up North again…there’s so much snow. My car wheels kept getting caught on the snow and spin out of control when I tried to step on my breaks. Kinda scary. Kinda retarded.
I wish my jet lag would get under control. I caught a cold in China-hopefully not SARS-and in theory I should sleep. Or so I’m told. But I get really sleepy and feel like crap around the afternoon, and like now. Totally awake.
But I guess I can go. Fireworks in China were AMAZING! I probably should write more about my trip….but eh. Maybe I’ll give the whole bed thing a try.
Going to Ft. Lauderdale for Valentines Weekend. That makes me laugh.
Mardi Gras the following weekend should be ridic though…oh man….
