This and that
1. I bought a new yoga mat and it is to-die-for.
2. There are like five pieces of chocolate left in this house (from maybe a million) and it’s 98% my doing.
3. I’m waiting for my mom to fall asleep before I go upstairs because she is really cranky tonight (but I hear her creeping around and talking to herself up there).
4. Tomorrow I am going to NYC for about a week to see friends...

Yup
I am pretty sure I have gained 10 pounds this week alone… which is guhreat. Oh well. My mood is up and down. So for now I will turn to the endless black hole that is Netflix Instant Watch.

Peace, joy, love, and all that jazz.
Howdy friends. I spent my Christmas Eve going to a long and excellent swim practice, eating nommy chick’n, going for a drive to look at decorations with my grandpa, and now I’m about to polish off all this greatness with peppermint root beer floats and Love Actually with my family.
This year is a million times better than last. Recovery is worth it.
I love each and every single...

Habit
Tonight I am trying to sleep without ambien… so tonight I will not be sleeping. Today was hilarious though, my mom and I went out to dinner and then we went to Burlington Coat Factory and I tried on ugly prom dresses while she took pictures. Sometimes life is great.

Partial bliss
I’m HOME HOME HOME HOME. My body feels like I was hit by a truck, I am so exhausted. But I chopped wood with my grandpa because that’s normal. And I forged a really intense spiritual connection with one of our steers that is bound for slaughter (yup, I am a vegetarian living on a meat farm) and I am trying to figure out how to liberate him, but I am coming up short. He’s a very...

I finished all of my actual work for the semester! I gained four pounds during finals week, lolol. Now I am in the library and hypothetically should be writing all of the thesis that I did not write this semester, but for now I will sit on Tumblr and eat Hershey’s kisses and read about Kim Jong-Il. YUP OK.
TOMORROW I GO HOME.
Look at my fucking awesome hat.

Ha ha he he ho ho
Oh mah gadddd, finals week has turned me completely insane. And made me gain a zillion pounds. But amidst the stress over work and food and whatever else, I am making a point to enjoy the last few days of this semester, and it’s mostly working.
Tomorrow I’m going Christmas shopping with my friends!
And on Tuesday I get to go home!
Also for some reason, I’ve gotten a ton...
