Home, finally, after a long month. I did well in my summer biology class: A- for lecture, B+ for the lab. The internship was uneventful. Commercial real estate is clearly not for me, but I'm still happy to have that experience. It also strengthened the gut feeling I have that teaching may be a good profession for me. I mean, I have always played with the idea of teaching - and a number of my past teachers said that they could see me becoming a teacher one day.
Soo much weight gain over the past month... Actually, I'm not sure exactly what I weigh at the moment. Depending on where in the house I weigh myself, there's a 10lb difference... however, I heard my mom talking to my relatives about my weight gain since coming home from school, and I feel heavier. I decided a couple of weeks ago that I probably won't have a summer job, because I don't think anyone will want to hire me to work for less than two months. This won't be all bad: I can invest more time into exercising. No less than 90 minutes of cardio everyday my parents are at work - so that's about 5 days a week. By the end of summer, I want to be clocking 2 hours of cardio. I need to work on doing more toning - that's my weakness. No less than 100 crunches a day, at least. I bought a little book filled with toning exercises, excited about that. :) In addition to 90+ minutes of cardio, I plan on taking long walks, just for the sake of keeping my body moving.. that is, if it ever stops raining!
Food... I don't know what to do about it. My mom has a sharp eye and watches absolutely everything I eat or don't eat. I'm thinking about throwing away as much food as possible to make it look like I'm eating, but that would make me feel guilty... growing up, I was always taught not to waste food, and that is deeply ingrained in me.

My aunt became really sick just a few days before I came home, and unfortunately I caught her cold. :( I'm bummed, because I was supposed to sleep over at my best friend's house for Independence weekend. Maybe I will be healthy when I wake up tomorrow morning? I hope soo!
