For my mental sanity...

I'm going to Vegas in May!!!!!

I spent last night texting with my bestest friend from high school, who I haven't seen in almost five years and we are meeting up in Vegas for a week in May.

I haven't been this excited for anything in a long, long time. I will have finished my college career the week before my Vegas trip which makes it that much more sweet!

Some may say it was not thought out well or that I made the decision quickly. It's Vegas, I didn't have to think. It was an automatic "yes"!

It's my last hurrah before I become an adult in the real working world and can't take off a week at a time to visit Vegas for fun.

Here's to my mental stability, seeing my best friend, saying good bye to my college life, having a hell of a fun time and starting my new life as an adult.

The Sun

As I stare out my apartment window watching the sun go down on the first clear sunny day since, oh I don't know, last June, I'm left thinking about the sunsets in the desert.

There is nothing that can compare. The end of the day in Saudi was always an event to remember. It was quiet, serene, the sickly sweet hint of hibiscus in the air blew around with the wind that whipped across the dessert 24/7.

Being that close to the equator the sunset didn't change much with the seasons. About six or six thirty every night the sky would glow and prayer call would echo across the hills. A bone chilling musical prayer that sounded five times a day. It's presence becomes missed though the years.

I've waited for the sun in this hemisphere to mock the desert sun, but it just won't. There's something different about the sun on the other side of the planet.

The Bachelor

There is something wrong with this guy.

I do not normally partake in the viewing of reality shows such as The Bachelor but because I needed a mind numbing show to take my mind off of school I began watching this debacle a few weeks ago.

Addicting!

These crazy, emotionally raw women shuttling full speed toward a breakdown make some damn good television. The bachelor, Jake, a pretty blond Texan has turned out to not be so smart. There's this girl...Vienna. She also answers to the name Satan spawn. She's 23 and fake.From Florida and a waitress in such establishments as Hooters. This girl happens to be in the final two! The other girl happens to be a God loving Christian from Oregon who has been with one guy, her ex-husband. But he's out of the picture because he slept around. She also talks like Minnie Mouse, not that it really matters but it gets annoying.

Back to Vienna. All the women on the show hated her and relayed the message to Jake. Well, Jake doesn't think with the head on his shoulders and decides to disregard the red flags and keep crazy face around.

Crude vs. Prude

Jake is being stupid. Think with the correct head man! After his questionable choices maybe he deserves to be stuck with a camera hound 23 year old skank.

I'm also betting money that Ali, the girl who left the show with four women to go because her job gave her an ultimatum, is the next bachelorette.

Weigh loss? Not so much.

After a successful week at the gym and a loss of almost four pounds I jump on the scale this morning to weigh in. I didn't eat any differently this weekend I only took one night off from the gym and went out drinking on Friday.

Evidently this mean I gained five pounds in one weekend. I didn't even drink beer! So, what to do? I think I'm coming to the realization that I will forever be at a weight I hate. No matter what I weigh.

I abstain from eating at night leaving me a little hungry but I can deal with it. I worked out at the gym twice yesterday totaling over three hours. I don't know what I'm sweating off at the gym, but it's obviously not fat.

Mondays suck.

Nonsense

I'm sitting in English class waiting for the teacher to check my source I brought in for the summary. My source is a book our library doesn't carry. I buy the electronic version. I write my citation and summary like she asked. Bitch face teacher informs me I can't use an electronic book because she doesn't know if it exists. Let me inform the two people who read my blog, our text book is an electronic book! I procede to argue with her. She looks at me with her vapid empty stare. There's no getting through. I already hated the English department because of how useless they are. Now they're just plain stupid.

Busy, Busy

Life is busy. Therefor I have not written a blog in awhile. Between work, homework and class I don't know where my days go. I had to wake up at 6 a.m. to do my wash before class this morning. I also had to finish some homework because I ran out of time yesterday.

I guess I would have more time for homework but I choose to do something for myself each night so I don't lose my mind. I go to the gym for an hour and a half or two hours a night. I love it! I work out and watch television at the gym and am kind of becoming addicted. I've lost five pounds this week!

I've also stopped eating at ungodly hours of the night. Eating dinner at 9 p.m. is ridiculous and I will no longer commit that crime. Even if tempted to by acquaintances.
