Updateeeeee...
So, firstly: I suck at concentrating. Especially on studying. I hate studying with a burning passion more aggressive than... Well, a lot of things. It's just so... Boring. And dumb. Especially when I don't have any idea how to study for something - like a biology lab test. I mean, wtf? Since when did labs come with tests. Ridiculousness.
Secondly: Things have changed in my life recently, mostly starting this weekend awkwardly enough. Broke up with someone I'd been dating since September... He was a nice enough guy, I s'pose, but things weren't working anymore. He had a great number of different views from me (including points on politics, race, gender, etc) and that wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't so vocal and forceful about them. We also just grew apart and I didn't feel like I had the proper amount of time to give to him.
Matt also started talking to me again... Said he broke his leg at work. I'm thinking about taking a train in January from home to see him and then leaving directly from the city to go back to school (I have to be here on the 16th). I still have to talk to him about it (I want to convince him to pay for half of it - it would be 45 dollars) and then I have to somehow sell the idea to my parentals... But, I guess my feelings on that is that I'll tell them that I'm going to visit a friend and, that really, I'm an adult now... As scary as that is and as much as I might want to retract that statement for a few other things, I am an adult, plain and simple. If it's my money and that's how I decide to spend it, I think I should be allowed. I feel bad leaving my vacation time early, but really... I'll be home for almost a month and they'll be at work most of the time anyways sooooooooo... Yeah. I dunno. It's still totally in the planning phase at this point.
I also need to save money for my internship this summer and even for Florida... I can't believe how fast it's all coming up. I think I'm doing an internship this summer in Florida (Sanibel Island) with a rehabilitation clinic... It looks so awesome. $200 for a month of stay, you just have to buy food and transport there/back... Which, obviously is going to be sort of expensive, but still. Loans, I guess. Or something. Oye. Florida is only a year and a half away... That is the scariest thing. I can't believe how close it is. Actually, I don't know if I'm going to finish in time because of the amount of classes I have to take. I really need to talk to my advisor... Makesure things are working out properly.
I'm tutoring in General Chemistry now (111/212) for money... I needed some sort of income, even if it was generally minimal. For now I get $7.15 a hour and am tutoring four hours a week (I requested up to 10, seeing as I can't get more than that because of being a RA) but at least it's something. I needed something.
Other than that... I've been doing an AMAZING job going to the gym on a regular basis and working out for about a hour each time... So exciting. I can't weigh myself while I'm here (accidentally left the scale at home; I'll be getting it when I go home next week) but that's alright... We'll see where I'm at when I go home, I s'pose.
Other things in life are... Well, things, I guess. Nothing amazing or terrible on any side of the coin, really.
Now, lets see if I can focus at all...
