Last night at home
and I'm doing nothing. Everyone I know is either gone or working. Oh well, I have some time to sit back and relax before heading back to school. It's gonna be the same way as every other semester has been. I'll be determined and studious for about a week, maybe two, and then I'll go back to being lazy.
I'm thinking about changing my major again. I think I'm gonna switch to Education and stay there. I figure I'll end up either as a teacher or paralegal with a Sociology degree. I think I'd enjoy teaching more so I might as well skip the extra step and switch. I have to go see if this is possible first.
I'm officially starting the diet on Monday. Just to put everyone's fears at ease, I'm not trying to lose an enormous amount of weight. I realize that I am pretty small to begin with. I put on 10 pounds last semester so that is all I am really trying to lose. I mainly want to do just so I can fit into all my clothes again without having to buy new stuff. My doctor has told me that it would be better to stay on the light side anyway. Less weight=less stress on the knees. It is only a matter of time before I am struck down with the arthritis that my grandfather and mother both have. My mom was diagnosed at 35 and by 40, she was told she needed both knees replaced, but she was too young to have it done. She's 45 now and still waiting for them. I see the pain she lives with and one of my biggest fears is that the same thing will happen to me. Based on what I've already done to one knee, the doctor says that he is 99.9% sure I will have it in that knee and most likely the other. I have to be good to my knees now and that means losing a little bit of weight.
