Did you know that when you sneeze the air that you exhale travels at 100mph? Scary!
So every day I make poor choices and over eat. I also don't work out. I don't understand why I'm not motivated... I need to CHECK MYSELF and get in shape. Chambers is so sweet about it. She says that I've worked extremely hard and have done so much already... I think that just makes this NOT trying "okay" and not unacceptable. Thank god I've lost so much already or I'd be in even MORE trouble. I really really really want to have to take IN the dress before the wedding. I want to put the size 16 on and be like, "oh! It's too big!!"
Do I want it bad enough to stop shoving food down my throat?! I keep telling myself that tomorrow is another day, but it never happens. I overeat that day too. I started two word files, though. One for GOOD productive wedding things and BAD things I do everyday. I'll just add this stuff today and hopefully it will help. >.< I'm going to try and start Yoga. My friend Anya recommends it. She doesn't like it, but she thinks it will make me "leaner." I like the sound of "leaner."
So I am REALLY not enjoying my classes this semester. I didn't get my film class, but the guy was a total asshole anyway. He talked about the hundreds of dollars we would have to spend and how it wasn't a big deal. It IS a big deal. He was like, "You're already saving 4000 dollars by going here rather than a CSU... so spend it!" Why does he think we're going here? The ass. I'm going to wait a couple of semesters for a more understanding professor. He assumes everyone is a film major.
My DMAD professor is very very boring. She's very reserved and talks in circles. It's almost like she doesn't review her own lectures before giving them. She fumbles around. I hear that in Asia, the advance students get teachers like that so they don't become messed up the ignorant teachers in their early years. I had an EXCELLENT DMAD 181 professor and know so much more than a lot of the other students. Thank goodness. I just hope I don't forget the stuff I learned that semester. I'm going to need it.
So, I've decided that I'm in love with IKEA. If I wasn't trying to save for my wedding, i'd spend EVERY penny on IKEA products. Seriously. Ugh, saving for the wedding... It's hard. My shift was canceled today. That's 80 dollars less this week. I'm not too scared cause I can just pay my rent with my financial aid money. I wont get it for three more weeks, but it'll be here. I just wish I was saving more... It's hard to save. There's always something. I get so embarrassed when I realize that I don't even have my engagement ring yet, though. Sigh.
I miss everyone. That trip was so nice. I just miss home!
I learned a few days ago that I really only have two more years until I get my AA degree. Usually an AA only takes two years, but balancing work and school, I only manage about 9 units on a Tue and Thur. It's just impossible to cram more than three classes in two days. Especially since every class is four hours. Two hour lab and two hour lecture. Lab fees are making it very difficult to float. Thank god my music class doesn't seem to charge one. I could have really used the units from that film class. The asshole. 12 units looks so much better than 10. Gross.
I DO like my Photography class. A lot! So, I have that to look forward to. This class is unbelievable. We get to use MANUAL 35MM cameras. The lab fee was 100 bucks, but it is going to be worth it. I can develop for 10 hours a day in their dark room if I want to. I can check out a camera every weekend! This professor has amazing reviews. He's a very very sweet old man who has been married for 34 years. I can't wait to get marriage advice from his lectures. :P He's also been a photographer for 37 years. I'm hoping I can bring SOME sort of smile to his face.
I've only taken a few photos, but I'm completely in love with the manual camera. The sound it makes, the sharpness of the lens... Sigh. Very nice! Chris knows a lot of about cameras too. We'll have a lot to talk about. He's taking my Music class too so we'll be able to help each other and have lots to talk about. I'm really liking us taking classes together. We'll have to do our GE together too. :)
