Taking its toll.

Jump to Comments

I think I feel senioritis coming on. Like a hurricane.

Yesterday, I came home at around 3:30 and didn’t start my homework until 7:00. Why? Well, I put my homework in front of me, but then I suddenly remembered that I had written my interview information in my Physio notes. I then went and transferred the info into my planner. And then I started writing down random event dates into my planner. And then I went off on a bunch of other tangents and came back to my homework at 7:00.

On a less unfocused note, I’ve been routinely taking the Feosol like I’m supposed to. I realized that I should get back on it when I felt immensely depressed at VBT and decided to sit alone underneath the stairwell rather than going back to my teammates and telling them I had dropped my 6th round.

Of course, they found out anyways since they knew my opponent. But I couldn’t bear the humiliation. And so I just sat outside for around an hour or two. Alone. I watched Grey’s Anatomy to escape the lameness of my own life. And when I went back, triple octafinals had been announced, so they were all swept up in that madness and too busy to ask me about my round. Of course, I got a few demands as to where I had been, but I just fibbed that I was talking to my dad on the phone.

Anyways, onto less depressing topics…

I’ve achieved the first step of plan A to snag McMystery (hey, I watch Grey’s Anatomy. It’s a given that I McName my McLife). I don’t know what it is, but it’s just being with him that makes me really happy. I don’t want this to sound creepy or anything, but when he looks at me, I just feel relaxed and happy. His eyes reflect solidarity. And his smile is really beautiful, too. But I’m worried because I have this really small feeling that someone else may be competing with me for him too. And I don’t want this to be a repeat of last year.

On top of that, I don’t want to have to resort to certain options for certain events. I’m being intentionally vague because I’m expecting to make this site open to my friends some time in the future, and I don’t want any drama to arise from past writings.

Today we were discussing cereals, and when I suggested “Lucky Charms” he said “Ew…no.”

That’s one difference between us. He’s the kind of guy who doesn’t like food too sweet. He likes it just in the middle. He’s not a fan of cupcakes or sugary things (hence why he must be in such good shape). 

He’s good at math. Scratch that, he’s brilliant at math. He’s brilliant at academia in general.

I know, I know. He’s terribly different from me. He likes a happy medium (Honey Bunches of Oats), and I like everything under the sun. He is somewhat reserved, I’m…out there. He’s brilliant at academia, I am only a few points shy of getting a sub-sub-sub-sub par GPA.

But it’s the mystery that attracts me. It’s the fact that we just broke off in sophomore year. It’s like unfinished business that I’ve always wanted to continue.

Dear McMystery,

Forgive me for the negligence in our friendship in sophomore year. I just want you to know that you are cool. You’re cool in my eyes. And I want to finish where we left off.

Pick me. Choose me. Like me.

Anyways, onto the business of New Years’ Resolutions.

I made a resolution to go jogging everyday, but thanks to the stupid rain and horrible weather, I’ve been failing to do so. And as a result, my beer belly has been the star of the show. Crap. I need to get padre to take me to the gym sometime.

Once I get my CPR/First Aid certification (end of this month) and license (end of Feb) I’m going to apply to be a lifeguard or swim instructor at the YMCA. Why?

1) I feel really bad about debate expenses. I plan to do more debate this semester, so I’m going to pay off debate expenses with my salary.

2) YMCA employees get to use the facilities…meaning I can work out more.

3) I get to wear a cute red swimsuit and run around like I’m on BayWatch…not. haha.

4) Cute kids! :)

5) Exercise in the water! yay.
