Elementary, My Dear Watson

So today started off as any other perfect day can. No work, sleep in until I wake up myself, and go to Jacqueline’s house for a breakfast/lunch just like yesterday. Had one turkey sandwich and a PBJ, and they were mighty tasty. Then we hung out at her house for a bit, hung out at my moms house for a bit, and then went to see Sherlock Holmes at 1:45. Perfect movie, awesome action, and Robert Downey Jr. has over the last year and a half become one of my favorite actors. He is an awesome guy, and pretty funny. Even if his past is a little sketchy.

So definitely a movie worth checking out. I kind of wish I could see it in those D-Box chairs at the Ronnies theater that move with the character and stuff, but it is quite a bit of money per ticket.

At this very moment I am using Genius Mix on iTunes for the first time and it is absolutely amazing. I click on Classic R&B, and it takes all my music and makes an awesome playlist and I am totally jammin’ to it. Currently ‘Nothing from Nothing’ by Billy Preston.

I am completely organized and ready for tomorrow, which is the first day back of second semester. And by organized I mean I have thrown away everything in every folder for every class. The only papers that I actually saved were all of mine from my stats class, because they will probably be valuable when it comes time to study for the big AP test at the end of the semester. Tomorrow I plan on turning my physics book in and getting the hell out of that class for the rest of my life. I will then take yet another study hall, making the last semester of high school almost a complete breeze. Honestly though, I do think that if you gave the first three years an honest effort, you should be able to take a few months off towards the end of the year. Or in my case, the entire senior year off.

Anyways enough about school. It is freaking cold outside. Tonight when Jacqueline and I went to Target for the third time it was 9 degrees, and it felt much colder. It is terrible how cold it actually is, and it is only getting worse this week. Actually we are about to get some snow on Thursday, and there is a chance of a snow day which would be absolutely awesome. That is the day of my doctors appointment, and it would be nice to miss that whole day of school. I also only work one day this week, which is good and bad, but mostly good. I am pretty sick of bread co.

Anyway I am rambling, and because I want to call Jacqueline I am going to wrap this up.

Weight watchers info for the day is still on the up and up. I bought a 3-month notebook for six bucks to track my points for the next few months, which I think will help. My mom, Jacqueline, David and I all went shopping and got a bunch of healthy stuff. I really do think this is all going to work. I am anxious to step on the scale on Wednesday. I really do not think that I am going to lose weight, but I feel absolutely great. Tomorrow morning my alarm is set for 5:15, and I think I am going to try and do the elliptical. It will be tough to get out of bed in the cold and do that without headphones, but I need to start working out. I think it will definitely help, and I will feel even better.

That is it for the day though. Three trips to Target, one to Shop N’ Save, Schnucks and Dierbergs and Jacqueline bought the Sims as well. I am really not sure if I am going to get to talk to her much now, or if she is going to be sleeping as much. Only kidding, of course, but I do think she is going to love the game. That is enough though. I am going to give her a call, listen to her giggle while she reads this, and then head to bed. Goodnight.

Day Two/Three and New Years

Well it was day two when I wrote the title, however I got busy, saved it as a draft and now it happens to be the third day of my blogging adventure. So it is 2010. The year that we (fellow classmates) have heard about all of our life. The year that always sounded like the end. Now that 2010 is finally here, I am starting to realize that it is only the beginning. We have all made it so far in our educational career, but that is only a small step in the actually ‘life’ part. College is the first step to the real world that we hear so much about, and for the first time it seems like it is actually going to happen. It seems unreal that in only a few months I will be packing my things and rooming with Tony in a dorm at Mizzou. Time is moving unbelievably fast, but the way I am spending it and the people I am spending it with make it alright.

Jacqueline wrote on her blog some major points of 2009. I would love to do the same but I do not have any that I could easily recall. The fact that we are finally together is a life changing event in itself. It was the first year since 8th grade that I did not see 30+ movies in theaters (speaking of which, Avatar was absolutely incredible). It was the year I stopped writing for the Suburban Journals. The year I made $6,300 by myself, and have a lot less than that to my name. The year nothing tragic, as in deaths, happened in my family. And as pathetic as this is, that is really all I can think of. 2009 is the first half of senior year and the year I actually fell in love. It was a pretty good year, but I know 2010 will be absolutely incredible.

Some honest New Years resolutions that I am definitely going to try and accomplish:
* Lose 50+ pounds by this exact time in 365 days
* Start writing again. Be it either on here, for the paper, or just for fun
* Figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life
* Start giving school work, both the last semester at Howell and the first at Mizzou all my effort
* Attempt to get somewhat closer to God. Not church every week, because these are realistic, but at least closer than I am now
* Start saving money, and not blowing it on stupid crap that I don’t need

If I can achieve all of those, 2010 will definitely be the best  year of my life. I honestly think it has potential, and I think it will be. I am with the love of my life, and everything in my life is looking completely positive. I am not the type to say it never was. I have always been a very happy person, but never as happy as I am now.

Anyway I am on the phone with Jacqueline and have been since I started writing this and I feel bad that I am not talking. Plus it is 1:25 in the morning and I need to be at work at 11, and I am dead tired.

By the way, I have -1 point left on my weight watchers thang. Meaning I didn’t do as good as I could of, but I did better than yesterday. I am doing better than I thought I would. I really think this is a program that can work for me. I am not starving, and I have totally realized how much crap I have been eating in the last couple of years. I did have a migraine from about 8:15 until 11:30 when I took a couple Advil. I feel like I have eaten a decent amount of food today, so hopefully it wasn’t from that but we’ll see how I feel the next few days. So far so good. Next is the working out, and figuring out how and where I will be doing that. Then I think progress will start showing.

Goodnight and Happy New Year.
