blog #3

last night YET AGAIN i found it impossible to sleep. so at 1 am i decided to roll out of bed and see what was going on in the world. i turned on the laptop and read a couple of articles about homes made of recycled shipping crates, and men surviving being struck by lightning, and women dragging their toddlers through department stores... then it occured to me that i recently had my cpt scores faxed over to valencia but i hadnt checked if i could sign up for new student orientation yet. so i hustled over to my atlas account and logged in.

and guess what?

I CAN

 

so i have two options.

option 1:

take the new student orientation online

pros: easy, fast, dont have to waste money on gas

cons: must print out some assessment sheet [dont have a printer], and kinda boring [2 hours sitting at the computer...]

 

option 2:

go to valencia and attend the new student orientation there

pros: great excuse for a road trip, more fun [more interactive], can visit the new apartment, can get immediate help from a counselor if i need it [as opposed to having to call in if i take it online]

cons: gas to take me from ocala to orlando is going to be pricey [im broke almost all the time :( ], the orientation in orlando is an hour longer, blah blah blah...

 

im not really sure which one im going to go with right now... option 2 [apart from the financial aspect] seems like the smarter option because i can get more done.

anyhoo so after i got done with the computer, i went back to my room and started reading the florida drivers handbook because i am DETERMINED to have my license when i move from this place. yupp. i keep envisioning how my test is going to be. im kinda nervous [-tears chunk of hair from head-] i hope i pass it the first time... if i can get my license i wont need to worry about a lot of things. i'll probably use some of my grant money to make a down payment on a not-too-shitty-but-not-too-flashy car and that will help me LOADS when i move. ESPECIALLY considering that the college is a 6 hour walk from my apartment and i dont know how to use the public transit system down there AND i need a way to get to work also [hollister is transferring me -happy dance-].

it didnt take long for me to get bored with studying for the driving thingy. so with complete disregard of the time and my neighbors i picked up the guitar and started trying to figure out the chords to that new panic! at the disco song [called new perspective]. its a lot more fun trying to figure it out by yourself than googling the tabs and chords... at least i think it is [not so sure about my neighbors... im pretty sure they hate me... and my guitar]. i have the bridge of the song and i kinda have the chorus. once i have it all figured out i'll post it here so everyone can see and be dazzled by my amazing talent and whatnot.

im hungry...

-goes to make fruit salad-

so im wondering if its possible to consume healthy food in such a way that it becomes unhealthy...?

for instance every morning i wake up shower and do all that stuff then i make my breakfast which usually consists of fruit, or granola-y cereal, or a healthy breakfast bar. i also take a daily multivitamin and wash it all down with milk [enriched with more calcium because i sometimes add stawberry nesquik; another guilty pleasure of mine]. lunch is normally something vegetarian like soy burgers [or some other meat substitute] or a hearty sandwhich and fruit juice, and then dinner is almost always soup or salad or something. the point being that maybe im overdoing all the nutrients a bit. the multivitamin PLUS all the "good food"... is it possible that put together they might be doing me some harm...?

-musing-

i dont want to die... maybe i will eat cake for dinner tonight
