276: Hello Again

Why, hello, Xanga, I just remembered that you still existed.

2011 is finally going to be my year, I think. The gym at school helped me get more interested in fitness and working out. I think I maintained my weight in my first semester of college, which is surprising. I lost about 5 whole pounds during band camp, and gained most, if not all, of it back by finals. 

HOWEVER, I am bound and determined to make this happen. I've been saying this for about 6 years. 2011 is MY year.

14 hours and 28 minutes into the year, and I'm doing good so far. I can do this.

Also, I think I'm going to get a new Xanga page. Less personal stuff, I think, more weight loss stuff. I'll friend some of you who I think still exist here.

275: Prom & End of School..

So, Adam was home for prom. He flew in on a Thursday and I only got to spend about 2 hours with him since I had a softball game, and I dropped him off at the airport the following Monday around 5:30. I miss him a lot, but I can never get anything done when he's around because he just wants me to spend all my time with him and just wants to kiss me all the time. Not that that's a bad thing, not at all! It just keeps me from getting anything else done. I do miss him, though. Prom would have been much better if I thought I looked even remotely good. My dress definitely didn't fit. It laced up the back so I could get into it, but it looked awful on me because my stomach is so big. It's honestly like I have permanent, huge lovehandles. So, the dress didn't sit on me right. :/ But, it's over now, so I'll get over it. Actually, I probably won't. But, I'll deal.

Now, school. Tyler and I are about two pages away from finishing our final econ paper (we should have been done with it two weeks ago....but the circumstances seem to have allowed us an extention). I'm in the process of writing a sociology paper on a topic of my choice (Music Education and why it's important is basically what I'm writing about). And on top of that, we just started our "big Macbeth senior thesis" last week for World Lit. I'm hoping this won't be too bad, my teacher says it's not hard since she basically guides you through the whole thing. So, today, I'm going to try my very hardest to finish my portion of our econ paper (it needs to be finished today, we really can't put it off any longer), and finish highlighting this critical essay for my thesis paper.

Also, Mackenzie and I are planning on choreographing a tap dance together for Senior Night. We're going to do "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", and the show's June 2...I think we're going to work on it today, but the rest of the week I'm going to be busy/stressed out with everything for my dance recitals.

Weight's not good. I'm starting to work on that, I think...woke up yesterday around 8 and went for a walk, since it was sunny and beautiful. It was a good jumpstart to my day. I probably should have done that today, too, but I didn't. Oh, well.

I'm really off to finish my econ paper now. *crosses fingers*

272: it's starting to feel like summer!

So, I'm getting really bad at this whole xanga thing lately. I have realized, however, that I do a lot more living when I'm not posting on xanga all the time. 5 other girls and I are in the process of learning a guard show for the J unior Variety Show (talent show without any winners. for short: JV show. hosted by junior class & proceeds go to their class), which is this coming weekend. We've known we'd be in it for about a month, but just started learning the show on Thursday because guard was taking up so much of our time. We're getting close to the end!!! Hopefully we'll finish it up tomorrow after school. I'll try to post a video, or a link to youtube or something, after we perform. :)

Weight is pretty yucky. I think it's been worse, and I'm hoping I've lost a few pounds the past few days with all the practicing and sweating I've done! Also, I'm pleased I only got 2 pieces of candy for Easter. :)

Prom is May 8. I can't wait for Adam to come home. I don't even care that it's prom, I'm just excited to spend it with him. :) Plus! My gramma's friend is fixing my dress, and she's going to put lace in it! That makes me much less scared. Zipper issues last year made me paranoid that I would gain too much weight to wear it.

I'm much more motivated to go out and exercise these days. The past few days have been so ridiculously nice! Yesterday and Friday were SOO hot, easily in the 70s and possibly 80s.

I appologize for my thoughts being all over the place. I wanted to update, but don't really want to type. :p Or think about what I have/haven't already said. So, I'll do my best to update once a week (maybe I'll get an update in each Sunday?) or more, so I don't have to explain everything all at once. :p

Have a good week! I know I won't be posting again until at least next Sunday, since I'll be busy learning/prepping for the JV show!

271: ack, prom!
