(no subject)
so i'm back
the past two weeks have been utter hell and the rest of this one seems to be going the same way.
so this in combination with what my doctor said (if i didn't tell you, recently my doctor told me i needed a life style change, thats what they are supposed to tell you when you are 60 and are going to have a heart attack, no 18. they said i am too stressed and don't exercise enough or eat well enough) has made me realize that i have a very self-destructive lifestyle. This realization has prompted me to try to eat better. The issue is that most of my problems go back to the stress. I'd eat more if i wasn't so hurried and stressed and i wouldn't have to resort to eating stuff thats bad for me because of a lack of time. If i had less work i could sleep more and have less stress. the issue is that i am stressed because of school and i can't exactly stop that can i? so i guess i will just have to hold out and hopefully things will get less stressful and i will have more time. I just hope i survive that long. but hey, at least all the work has made me forget my lack of love and seemingly eternal virginity.
Robotics is fucked up. the team is way behind this year. at least i'm not actually on build team this year so if it all goes to hell i can say its not my fault. either way though its not good. another problem is that my subsystem is overstaffed, thus my guys play internet games the whole time. other problems are that certain sub-systems have yet to give me designs thus i have very little to work with. which sucks.
Our Au Pair is leaving this week. in fact we are going out to dinner to nigh to say bye. she will be our last Au Pair. the good side is that i get the car and can drive to school so i don't have to be a bitch and bum rides anymore. the negative side is that i have to pick my brother up from school, which sucks.
In the good news department the is little, but it is significant.
i think i might be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with the heavy work load. so hopefully it will subside to normal levels soon.
i got a bunch of cash for my birthday from my aunt and uncle.
i got to Italy in like two months.
Mike is going to Spain with me which should rock, especially because we are both of legal drinking age there.
and the bid news is that I won a big art award. My portfolio won a gold key in the scholastic art competition. This means that my portfolio goes to national where if it wins it is put in an art show in the NY art museum. You also get scholarships for winning. but even if i don't win the nationals, just by winning a gold key in regionals i get to be in an art show at NOVA which is pretty cool. So i'm way happy about that. I hear its like way prestigious (famous art dudes won it like Andy Warhol) and Ms. Casey (art teacher) say that in her 14 years of teaching she has had only 5 or 6 people get a gold key for their portfolio, so i guess it is quite an achievement. so i'm very happy about this. It makes me rethink my decision about not seeking a career in art. I doubt i'll get an award in nationals but being in the art show should be really cool, especially because a bunch of my friends got in too.
SO that is whats up.
