Well, started into the spring semester of school this week. Taking first year chemistry, and it's been 10 years since high school, so I'm finding it a bit hard, but I think I'll be alright. I'm gonna be working my ass of over the next several weeks while in this class. It's a fast paced course, so it will require a lot of my attention while I'm in it. Also, I need to work more to cover bills, as I don't have a student loan for this semester.
I also started the couch to 5k running program this week. I just finished week one this morning, and I'm feeling good about it. I am doing the program with my boyfriend, so we are able to motivate each other each morning into getting up and running. As much as I say all the time that I"m happy with my body, and I don't care about being skinny, I would actually really like to be thinner, like most of the models on this site. That's not my main motivation for running ( I just want to have more energy, and be healthier), but I'm finding that it's creeping up from inside me as a factor. I'm sure most girls over a size 8 get the same thing though.
I'm also thinking of chopping my hair off again. I cant seem to make up my mind. I've been growing my hair out then chopping it all off for so long now, as well as bleaching and dying it so many different colors. I've got the bug for brightly colored unnatural hair now though. I'm thinking either bright orange, or pink. I don't really have the money though for that sort of thing right now, being as I'm a poor student.
I was looking through all my photos yesterday, and I realized how much I have physically aged. It happens so gradually, that I never really noticed it happening. But, I rarely get ID'd anymore, so that should of been a sign of me looking older. It's strange, looking at pictures from when I was 20, to now when I'm 27, and seeing the wear on my skin, and the beginnings...

I'm looking forward to the summer this year, but not as much as I most. I'll be working as much as I can to try to pay off debt before being full time in school this September. I wont have the time or money to do much with my friends, or do any camping unfortunately. It seems this is every summer for me, and I'm getting a little annoyed with it. Last year I went on a staff camping trip for 2 days, and that was my first time camping (or doing anything) in 8 years. It was also the last time I did anything like that. I always just end up working 6 or 7 days a week over the summer. Every summer I just say, "next summer will be awesome", and that's how I get through it. At this point though, the words have lost all meaning, being as I've said it 9 times now, and it never happens.
Well, I'm procrastinating right now, and I should stop. I need to clean the house before I go to school, and then go to work tonight.
