I really intended on updating this thing every night for the first few weeks at least, but once those snow days hit it just seemed like I was too busy every night. I don’t even remember the last thing that I updated on. Let’s start with the feet.

Every morning I wake up, take off the acid I put on the night before, blow with a hot hair dryer and then put aluminum chloride on the bottom of my feet to keep everything dry. I repeat this in the afternoon if possible, and at night I soak my feet in 120 degree water, which is absolutely no fun. At least I am getting to the point where I can do it without screaming and yelling because of the pain, which is quite embarrassing when Jacqueline is over. But she has been such a big help, and has helped me with everything so far. Reasons like that are why I am in love with her.

Moving on to school. I am finally out of physics! Today was my first day not in the class, and instead I get to sit next to Jacqueline and work on my stats homework for an hour. Having that nice break in between my day and right before lunch is the perfect treat. Tomorrow we are getting our topics in speech that we have to write and present a speech on. I think I will be nervous the first time, but then again I don’t know. I have gotten so comfortable when it comes to talking in front of a class over the last year in school. Today in marketing we had a mini DECA competition, which is when we role-play with a parent volunteer about certain business situations. I thought I was going to do terrible but I guess I did alright. I think I will compete with it. I get to wear my suit to the events, and I may turn out to be pretty good at it. We’ll see where it goes though. Other than that school is pretty much the same. I am giving it a bit more effort than I did last semester, but it is still pretty earlier.

The last two days I have been up and at the YMCA at 5:00 in the morning and working out. Yesterday it was the elliptical and today I just lifted weights for about 45 minutes. I get to weigh myself tomorrow and I am pretty excited. There is something very relaxing about waking up at 4:45 in the morning. I am tired throughout the whole day, and all night too, but I think it is still worth it. If I have time to throw in a nap after school it is definitely alright and manageable. I also went to church on Sunday morning for the 7:00 mass, which also felt pretty good to go to.

I just got to Skype with my mom for about 20 minutes while she is in China. Pretty awesome considering it costs like 5 bucks a minute for us to talk over the phone. I also just read Conan O’Brien’s statement about how NBC is ruining late night, and how he feels the exact same way. That’s why I watch Letterman. I am definitely not a fan of Leno and never will be.

I am going to go pick up a Subway sandwich for my dad and I and then head to the YMCA again I think where I can catch the beginning of American Idol and maybe be distracted from the pain I will be feeling. Jacqueline is at the Blues game so I am going to try and keep busy. When I get back I am going to do the foot stuff, lay in bed and do it all over again in the morning. Enjoy the rest of your night.

First day of the second semester of my senior year. It wasn’t an awesome or a fast day, but it was definitely an epic day. The countdown can officially begin for graduation. Everything is in sight and perfectly perfect. Now we just sit back, still sort of attempt at school work, and try and pull out a 3.0 when it is all said and done. After my freshman year, I thought a 3.0 would be impossible to achieve, but I think I will be able to do it now. At least I learned the whole ‘freshman year is important’ lesson in high school and not in college.

Anyway speech class consisted of a 50 minute long speech by the teacher about the class. Played Tetris in marketing, drew pictures in stats. Drew more pictures in physics. Came up with a possible tattoo idea while doodling in trigonometry. Learned the structure of a five body paragraph (topic sentence can and usually does include main idea of the paragraph). And lastly, read about law stuff. Notice a trend in my day? Every freaking hour is completely pointless. Aside from the 50 minute AP stats class, and trigonometry, I spend 5 hours at that school and learn absolutely nothing to my benefit. This is of course because so many people at my school are absolutely retarded and are so far behind in school work that the teachers have no choice but to slow down or alter their entire curriculum to make sure it isn’t too difficult or even, god forbid, challenging to any students. SCCC (St. Charles Community College) should really start a high school that these dumbass kids can check themselves into, so they can do their pot and drink their beers, and on top of all their partying maybe learn what a thesis statement is here and there, and then the rest of us could maybe use the ‘most important years of our lives’ to our own freaking advantage. There is nothing more frustrating than not learning or being held back from learning because a good majority of my lovely public school just cannot get it together.

Anyway enough complaining for the night. The rest of the day was good. Came home and played some Call of Duty, went to the Y with my mom and hung out with Jacqueline. You did read that correctly. I did make it to the gym. Sure it was only 40 minutes on a bike, but I still feel good about it. There is a TV in front of every elliptical, bike and stair stepper things. Pretty shnazzy, and helps with the working out for sure. Nothing beats burning off fat and watching Seinfeld at the same time. I definitely plan on going back, and will most likely become a member. I was so worried I would be surrounded by some macho men and people who look like they could kill me, but it was nothing like that at all. I actually looked like I was in shape compared to most of them, which is a pretty good feeling.

After the gym I came home and showered and Jacqueline came over (escaped) again. We went to Target of course, the mall and Chik-Fil-Et. Which filled my up with only a 9 or 10 point deduction, which isn’t too bad. I found out hot sauce is a very small amount of points, which is handy. Then we watched the Biggest Loser for a bit and she headed home.

Weight Watchers for the day is the same, which is exactly how I want it. I am still on track and feeling better than ever. Tomorrow I get to start my new book and weigh myself for the first time in a week. I really don’t think I am going to lose any weight, but I will definitely not gain a lot. I did pack my lunch today, which consisted of a Speck K bar, turkey sandwich, cookie, and a bag of popcorn. Very filling, and when I am full at school, I am a happy camper.

That’s pretty much all for the day. Tomorrow I will definitely report on the weigh in and how everything went on the ending of the first week. Anyway Jacqueline will be calling soon, and I am sure she will be glad to hear that I am done writing this before she called. Wish me luck tomorrow morning. Goodnight.
