Just super busy and slightly stressful. It's good though because its stressful but still allows room for me to change the way I organize myself, todos, and productivity. I feel about 85% on the ball and ready for when it gets super stressful (aka next semester).
Not getting to work out as much but still eating sensibly enough that I'm loosing weight. I did work out today and man do I feel good. I really wish I could find the energy to do it more often because afterwards I always feel soooo good.
Especially after yoga! I haven't been doing it as much and man today made me sorrily regret that... my whole body just feels sooooo good afterwards. Lithe, flexible... good. My spin feels relaxed and my whole body is alert.
Anyway... with my graduation this Spring I'll have more time to make it a regular thing, plus the millions of other projects I have. Speaking of yoga, I need to find some good short routines for the morning... and the willpower to wake up early to do them.
Anywho... OCD has been great so far and I'm looking forward to our practice tonight.
What else? Family is good other then the economy sucking... But at least we have our health. Though Quin did pass away. :/ I don't think it will really hit me until I go visit my family in 2 weeks. I also still really miss Dido. It's been an intense year... lots of changes... Also the year of cancer! Two loved ones passed from it and one was effected buy luckily overcame it.
Just focusing on doing well at work, building my resume and saving money for Spain. I'm getting good at conserving though I need to learn to actually balance my check book! I've been practicing my spanish regularly too. And I now bring my own bags when I shop at Publix (stronger and better for the environment). Just one of my mini accomplishments, and changes I've implemented in my life.
Just feeeling really in control! Plus I'm 18 lbs skinnier than 4 months ago! Oh and me and austin started choreographing for Lindy Focus..... hopefully we actually pull it off this time and show people what we are made of.
Just lots going on as you can see... and really now I should be proof reading a 25 page business plan right... but I'm procastinating by being productive (yes that is possible).
Better go do that now...

Words, Words, Only Words
So I've been reading quite a bit lately... which makes me happy.
Mostly due to me forming a book club and joining another.
Book Club #1
I helped co-found Y.A.W.E.R.S. (Young Adults Who Enjoy Reading Still) with Nina. It's going pretty well. We have 37 members currently. Probably only 10 active ones and so far it seems 6-8 people at a meeting is a good number.
Our first meeting (and only meeting so far) was 11 people but I have a feeling that will be a fluke and already participation has slacked a little. But that's to be expected with any club. Still, I'll probably want to make a flyer to keep the new blood coming as people come and go from the group. Plus in the end small numbers keep the conversations smoother (but not too small!)
Our Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=16117212518&ref=ts
Anywho we have read High Fidelity and our next meeting (next week) will be Running With Scissors. Both angsty books... I will have to do review for what I have read so far.
Just got back from club movie night which I probably would consider a failure if Mike and Audra weren't such good company. It was me, Austin, Mike and Audra. It was fun to watch the movie and we ended up discussing the book afterwards. Totally liked the movie better than the book. Probably in the future I'll try to combine movie viewing with book discussions (if the book has movie) because it really does lead to great threads.
Book Club #2
I joined a SciFi-Fantasy Book Club: http://scifi.meetup.com/331/
I've been to one meeting (my second will be this week). Nice people, small group, actually the group leader words as UCF as a systems administrator (small world).
Probably can't continue though due to school starting up next week and other priorities. A shame. We'll see how it goes.
So far we have read: The Android's Dream and Empress
The Android's Dream was a fun "romp" but ended satisfyingly.
Empress was just disturbing. And when I get the energy up I want to do a full review. Finished it last night and was damned happy to have gotten it over with. It really got to my head and left me clinging to Austin as 3am. Poor boy. It was a good book but I just couldn't wait for it to be over.
So I suppose that is some of my "Self Betterment" I have been doing this summer.
I started Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris today. So far so good. Surprisingly relatable. It's Y.A.W.E.R.S.' next book.
I am so thirsty its distracting. I've been so sensitive to salt lately.
I need to go get work done.
So I will. Or sleep. Or read?
