It's Been Awhile.....

I'm back from the mountains. Shawn and I had fun. I cooked a nice meal with wine and cheese the first evening. We got in the hot tub and it was so nice to be in cool weather for a change. We went to the outlet malls in Blowing Rock the next day, where I got a red sweater from the Gap. Then we had lunch at Ruby Tuesday. That evening we both got sick and had to deal with that for the rest of the trip. We managed to go out for bbq that night, even with the illness. I haven't had much of an appetite though.

When I got back to school I went to the MD and it turns out I have bronchitis. Yuck! It hurts, too. I have an antibiotic and hopefully will be better soon. I can be grateful that this is not a bad week school/work wise so I do have a little extra time to rest.

I got some good news at the doctors office, I've lost some weight. I think it's from not having much of an appetite for about two weeks, walking a lot on campus, not eating late at night and trying to limit the fast food. I am very very happy about it! I haven't seen the 130s in a long long time....maybe like since 2005. I think it will be hard to keep from putting it back on, but I really want to stay around this size.

I am totally having Senioritis. Today is 62 days until graduation. I think in weeks it is 6 weeks, which is not long at all. I still have no clear direction about what I want to do after. I am pretty sure that since I hated my internship I do not want in a hotel or in customer service, period. I have been an assistant manager in a retail store and waitressed for several years too so I have a good idea of what customer service entails. I am pretty sure it's not for me. I may end up taking a job just becuase I need to ($), but I hope some other opportunites come my way. Tonight I had to go to an Alumni Career Night. A bunch of students had to sit and listen to alumni speak about thier post college life and career. The alumni's talks were all quick, painless, and fairly interesting. We were supposed to network and talk to them afterwards, but with the bronchitis, senioritis, and me knowing I don't want to work in this field I just left as soon as I could get out of there. The whole thing left me in a weird mood, but maybe it's just the bronchitis.

Hopefully soon I'll be over this illness and can start going to the gym again with AM. She and I went to California Dreaming yesterday and it was so good. She is always great company anyways. Afterwards she had an appt. so I headed over to EP's for the Bachelor. Fun times...

OK, right now I've got to stop blogging and do something about my toenails. I hate to neglect my feet, but right now they look awful. I don't know why I've been doing it. Laziness, I guess. It has got to stop so now I'm going to go remedy this situation. Usually I make sure my toenails are in impecable condition, as I said I don't know what's up with me!
