Updation

Well, since it is the end of January, I figured I would give an update of how I'm doing on my Kind-of-New-Year's-Resolutions.

The first one was that I was going to work out. Well, I only started working out last week so I haven't seen to many results from this one yet but I'm gonna stick to it and will see results soon! Yay! I am kind of eating healthily. I am limiting my amount of Chick-Fil-A to once a week rather than the a lot of times per week that I was eating it last semester. I am also trying to avoid fried food when I eat in the caf as well but it is hard to do so when the caf serves food that is disgusting (man, I can't wait until I move off campus next year).

I think I am doing a good job of being a better friend. I am not spending so much time locked up in my room. Granted when I hang out with my friends, we just do homework or watch tv together but that is hanging out together and that is more than I did last semester.

Well, still not the beloved RA that I want to be but that's okay. Atleast I am still trying to appeal to my residents and not giving up by just doing the minimum. I mean, I already had a program that noone showed up to but that didn't discourage me! I'm still trucking (and the thought that I'm gonna be done with this job in about 4 months keeps me going)

I have decided, as you probably would have guessed from the previous paragraph, that I am no longer going to be an RA next year and will be moving off campus. I used to have a roommate but her parents are not okay with her moving off so right now I am flying solo. I have to ask my other friend if she has decided to move off or not and if she has then we may be roommates. If not, I am more than okay with living by myself. Plus, moving off campus, in the one place I'm looking into, I can have pets so I can bring Mickey (my cat) down with me and get her off of my mom's hands. How nice of a daughter am I?

This whole month of January I have not bought any clothes. Go me! Although, I may go buy some jeans tomorrow because I no longer have to save all my money (explained in the next paragraph).

I told my parents about Uganda, Africa and they said no. No, surprise there. Whatever. Parents don't feel it's safe for me to travel alone
and without their support (financially) I can't go. It's all good. I've come to terms with it and I really am okay with it. I've already been looking into other options. I'll go to Africa sometime just probably when I'm on my own and not having to rely on my parents for money. And with not going, I'll be able to attend 2 of my friends weddings that I otherwise would not have been able to being in another country! Yay!!

So far, my 2011 is going great! I can't believe it's already (almost) February! Time sure does fly.
