Day Two...

Still here. I'm actually extremely upbeat and full of energy, must be working out and because everything is going good right now. Give it a few days, then the tiredness will kick in. Plus, tomorrow I have to start studying for finals. So all the really cool work I'm doing on research right now goes on hold until December the 8th at least. Testing is such a waste of time. Oh well, guess I have to do it. Moving on, my workout had to be sacrificed today for the greater good. I was so busy talking to Dr. Tag about research that I talked right through my workout time. I think continuing were I was rather than sticking to my predefined dogma was the way to go. If not, oh well, too late now. At least from a health point of view, 6 out of 7 days working out ain't bad!

I forgot to mention, I applied for another job yesterday. I found a job at UNCW making ~48,000/year with benefits. It is only guaranteed through May 06, which is perfect for me, because thats about the time I should be moving to Boulder for grad school. By the way, if you wanna check out where I'm going(or will be once they accept me :)) the website is http://www.colorado.edu and the professor I want to work with is in the Psych Dept and his name is Randy O'reilly. Which was easy to get the address for, because as part of my super focus to go there, I've set his homepage as the default page my browser goes to when I open it up. Yeah, I know, psycho. But if thats what it takes, oh well.

I also had a VERY stimulating conversation today with one of my friends at school about everything from cars reproducing to the duality of the universe, or lack thereof. It's nice to find someone from your home planet every now and then! Its also nice to take a step back an be philosophical. I keep losing the forest for the trees, its hard to keep that broad view. Getting better though.

Diet and health are doing good. I'm back to my lowest weight and losing. I was 233 yesterday morning, which is 1 pound more than my lowest of 232(not counting birth of course!). I'm planning to break 229 by the 7th, and 219 by New Years. Kinda doing the New Years resolution in reverse this year I guess?!? At the rate I'm going I think its reasonable to be at 190 by March or April, which I'm guessing is my ideal weight. Who knows. Since I actually have some muscle, that BMI crap doesn't work for me. At any rate, I think I'll be in perfect health by the end of next semester. Go me!

Alright, enough bragging. Now to important things; we saw the Incredibles tonight and it was really good. Ripped off a few other movies like they always do, but it was still excellent. And best of all, yes, thats right, the STAR WARS EPISODE III trailer was before the movie!!! If the movie is even half as good as it looks, it should be amazing. I mean, really, how many times can Lucas mess up as great a story as Star Wars? Lets hope not 3.

Alright, enough yapping. See you all tomorrow.

May The Force Be With You
