One of the best days in a long time!…

  • Today was the big shopping spree for new clothes – and it was a whole lot more than that, it was the search for a new style. I think I found what I’ve been looking for.
    • I’ve really liked the preppy look – full pull-over sweater on top of a collared shirt… so awesome. Well, my weight loss hasn’t led me quite to that point in playing dress-up, but I think I’ve accomplished a sub-step on my way there. I got a few collared shirts, a pull-over sweater with a turtle-neck, a vest, and plenty of new jeans, as well as a sick sweatshirt. And get this!… I dropped two pant sizes. I was so ecstatic! I haven’t fit into 34′s for ages (literally).
    • Anyway, I’m extremely happy with my outfits and cannot wait to bring ‘em to the ole Corvallis. Could not had a better time shopping… Well… Maybe. I feel so changed and definitely hope to leave behind the old me.
  • I’ve decided my Halloween costume. I shall be a DJ! I’ve got my basic Sennheiser headphones and my T-Qualizer shirt (that basically fits now – has ALWAYS been a challenge since it was imported from Europe). I am thinking what else I might need. I don’t really want to go hardcore, so maybe this is enough.
  • So stoked for Halloween weekend to come in 6 days! Kevin’s good friend is visiting with his girlfriend (and her friends, too) and are staying the night. PARTAY!… Campus will be buzzing!
  • Haircut tomorrow, along with shoe shopping and a few more errands.
  • I miss Corvallis, though. I feel bad leaving Kevin at the apartment alone. Ok, it sounds weird, but it’s something I think about. I don’t have as much of a desperation to go home anymore like I did during the stagnation of dorms. I love the apartment!
  • Hit up 24 Hour Fitness tonight – man the food I’ve consumed yesterday and today since being home is inevitably going to put me up a pound or two – had to at least try to burn some of it off. I can’t wait to get back to the normal routine of working out at Dixon. I come home and I see how I used to live – and how contrast it is to my way of life in Corvallis… The later being better, actually.
  • Went to Haggen to pick up my final paycheck. My coworker’s paycheck was there, and his last day was one day prior to mine… so mine should be there too – but it wasn’t! There’s more workarounds, but it’s a pain.
  • Ready to turn the page and start a new chapter… Bring it on!

  • The rain made its way back here to Corvallis… Absolutely EWE.
  • Driving home this afternoon and staying in Tualatin until Monday mid-morning – practically all my clothes are packed up so I can swap out for newly purchased, better fitting items.
  • Workout predicament… I didn’t work out yesterday due to my busiest day of classes and the need to complete my most difficult essay this year so far. That makes twice this week I didn’t go work out. I feel I should go to Dixon today and work out because I am most likely going to be gaining a pound or two this weekend at home with little options to work out there. Such a hard decision!… Here’s the downer, though… I’d have to skip Math 245 to do so. I looked over the notes online and I understand the content. Decisions, decisions!

Introducing “F1″

You’ve probably seen my series of F5 postings in the past. Those are devoted to informing you whenever I make a change to jBlog, whether it be physical or all in the gears (i.e. Publicize, Widgets, etc.). I am starting a new periodic series which, ironically, will be named “F1″. On a PC, F1 generally invokes a help menu or window. Essentially, F1 helps you get information. This is what the new F1 line of posts will be like. They will be updates on what’s going on when times are slow. I suppose, in a way, they are like the Scribbles I used to write. Anyway, keep an eye out for those. But for now, here’s today’s update:

  • Writing for media (WR-201) is quite interesting. It really helps if you are very devoted and seriously involved in media, because a normal student taking the class just for kicks not only will complain and struggle, but will also be subconsciously compared and, essentially, ranked against others in the class. It’s a good course, though… So far that is. It will get challenging
  • I am volunteering to photograph the OSU drag show on October 30th. That will be an experience… Am still getting information from the host person – so it’s not legit yet.
  • Dixon is now a regular part of my life. It is so important to me that I go and work out. I’m really devoted to losing this weight and I am down 28lbs from my starting weight. But I’m stuck at the current number I’m down to, despite the calorie cutting and workout routine. I also wish I had a trainer or something – maybe just even a friend to show me how to do weights and stuff. I go into the weight room on occasion, and I am actually nervous as I search for a machine that is the simplest. I don’t want to look like a fool trying to operate a machine but failing at it. I might consider seeing a campus health advisor… But I don’t think that’ll cut it. I really just need someone to answer my questions and be able to tell and show me what to do in order to get the results I want.
  • Safeway’s Eating Right line of frozen meals are delicious and healthy. They are the best entrées even up against Healthy Choice and Michelina’s Lean.
  • Homework is crazy off-and-on. Right now I’m in a low swell, but by mid-week, I will be flooded. Midterms and papers due here and there – I’ve gotta right it all down.
  • I keep procrastinating when it comes to applying for The Daily Barometer or KBVR – I just need to bite the bullet and do it – it is for my own good.
