New Layout/New Outlook
I know, I know. I’m never satisfied with anything I design, therefore i’m leaving it up to someone else. Originality be damned! I’m really too damn lazy to make something this pretty, and it really is pretty isn’t it? So much to do and so much to say, but I never seem to post on a regular basis. I find myself unable to write most days and it’s possible that all the writing I’ve been doing at school has caused a creative block. I’m not sure, but I do want to try. Nothing like a fancy new layout to make you post more.
Things in my life have been good, Ryan is still an amazing, kind and supportive partner who I am very greatful to have in my life. School is stressful but fantastic at the same time. It’s amazing how relevant all my courses are to my degree, especially my African history and Politics of Developing Countries courses. I feel like my knowledge base has really expanded and I can’t wait to take development economics to broaden it even further. I’ve also added Computer Science to my courses, which has been pretty easy so far although I tend to make things to complicated when I’m trying to do my assignments. It will come with time I’m sure.
My family has been going through some semi-tough times as of late. It’s hard when I’m one full province away because I feel like I’m out of the loop all the time. I’m just worried, mostly about my brother and the path he is following, and I sincerely hope he starts to learn from his mistakes and works towards growing up a little. I miss him, I feel like I don’t know who he is because I moved away when he was 11 and the change that occurs between 11 and 19 is pretty significant. I can only hope things turn out for the best.
I’ve also re-started weight watchers once again. The past two weeks have been promising and I have a friend who goes to meetings with me to help me stay motivated. I also paid for 12 weeks in advance, so I’m not about to waste a large chunk of money by not following the plan. I’m very excited about it, I allready feel much better and I started going to the gym this week as well. I’m also signing up for personal training sessions so I don’t act like a total noob when I try to use the weight machines. The prospect of being healthy enough to go to South Africa next year is extremely motivating too. Anytime I don’t feel like working out or eating right, I think about the opportunities the trip would give me and how being overweight would severely limit my ability to participate. It’s tough, but life is always a work in progress!
