How are you feeling?

Well, it's not a "paying" job, but if you like animals, you could ask about photographing cats/dogs/bunnies/etc for your local animal shelter. Having a good pic is what often gets the animal adopted! Earns you lots of good karma points!

Sounds like a decent idea. Maybe I'll try it (though I don't even know where any animal shelters are in this city).

I don't know how I'm going to push through this next semester. I'm already expecting the worst in terms of my classmates' and professors' reactions to my final senior project. I have no idea how I'm going to get through it all; sometimes I just wish that a miracle would happen that will help me get through my remainder of school.

Just Google "animal control" in your city or county, or look for the local SPCA/Humane Society.

Well, how 'bout practicing your project presentation with us here first? Sometimes it helps to go through a few trial runs before the actual day you have to present it. And when the big day comes, try to imagine that you're giving the presentation to all of your friends at SPW!

very sleepy today

I feel awesome! Maybe it's holiday euphoria, but I really feel good. I'm not going to feel as good going back to work, but I'm enjoying my holidays right now. It's good not having a set time to get up or go to bed. Yay!

Also went to see my therapist. I was feeling a lot better so she has scheduled another appointment for after I go back to work. I think that's a great idea, actually. I really like her but I'll save myself some money and it'll give me a chance to live out my holidays without having to go to an appointment.

I'm also very glad I decided to leave Melbourne yesterday. Apparently all my friends got really drunk, two of them had a fight, and now they won't be coming back home until tomorrow. I'm stoked that I missed out on that garbage. Alcohol is stupid.

Sleep well!

Oh, I did!

I had a feeling that I shouldn't bother going to the interview and I was right! The reason I went is because it's the kind of work I want to do more of but it's not in a unit I want to work in. Plus, it has paid medical benefits, which I'm paying for on my own right now. But, a 7:00 am start time just isn't going to happen - I don't do early!!!

Haha you gave it up because you start at 7? Trust me that you get used to it and you develop a sleeping pattern where you'll train yourself to get up at 6 or whenever. It can happen. Too bad you didn't go for it.

^ Dawwww.

I feel great. I saw Dr. Cop. We talked for an hour, but I wish it could have been longer. It was just nice to talk to someone not in my family.

just weighed myself after coming back to school from my month long break at my parents home for the holidays. I should not have done that, or to be honest, i should not have pigged out so much and stopped exercising. I gained ten pounds in like 24 days!!!!! who does that i feel like a fat disgusting failure ::

You're not a disgusting failure. That weight can be lost, you know? You can go to the gym and work that weight off. Don't worry; you're as beautiful then as you are now.

Well, I didn't have the job, but took myself out of the running! You don't want to know what time I'd have to get up to be at work at 7:00 am!!! I don't do mornings very well! I love the afternoon/evening shift I work now!

 

[1BlackSheep]

I feel awesome!

Woo hoooooo!!! Hope the feeling sticks around!

 

[1BlackSheep]

Awwwww! Cute!

^Haha happens to me all the time I work hard to loose my weight just to gain it all back again and the circle continues!

You're not a failure. Weight can creep up on us when we least expect it to. All you need is a spark and that weight will fall off easily.

Woo hoooooo!!! Hope the feeling sticks around!

Thanks to both of you! I hope this feeling sticks around, too. I like being uplifted.

I felt a million trillion times better after showering and brushing my teeth last night when I got back from Melbourne. I'm a part of a hygienic society again! Vitamin C scrub sounds interesting. What does that do?

I bite the skin around my fingernails, so it's always rough and looks red- or pink-ish. When I was in Texas, this spa I went to gave me a Vitamin C scrub treatment in addition to a manicure, and it made the skin on my fingers sooo soft. I managed to find a tub of Vitamin C scrub, and I used it earlier and it had the same effect.

Being part of a hygienic society is pretty much always a good thing! Welcome back Portrait and Mikey!

Ah, very nice. You'd have the softest hands in America right now. I would say you should stop biting your skin, but that's easier said than done and we all have our weird habits.

Haha of course it is! Dirt and odours generally don't go down well with anyone.
