flowers for algernon

bad idea. bad bad bad idea.


I was starved today, and outnumbered 3 to one....AND it actually looked good. and I did it, I did the unspeakable.
I ate a chili cheese fries burrito.

and uggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

the worst feeling in the world, since the first bite at about 10 this morning I feel as though my stomach has been at war with the rest of my body.


sick. that was the worst decision, that is definitely crossed OFF my 'I need to do new things' list.

meat's no treat for those you eat.


but on a good note, we went to a thrift store and James the lames bought me Flowers for Algernon.
This book is so sad, and I've read it so many times. But I never tire of it, I love it.

Tomorrow is my last day at Ashley's furniture.
scary

update

holy moley, how I forget about these things so easily.

And I'm glad I have, I dare say I've done a little Kristen searching since my last blog, and I am so happy with the outcome so far.

I don't know when it happened, or even why it happened.. but it did.

One day, I literally woke up and said 'that's it, it's time for a change'

I vowed to myself that I was going to live a little while I'm here. That I was going to stop looking back on what I've missed out on and enjoy every second of what I have left. That I would do things I've never done before, that I would stop making excuses and just DO something... something so simple as going places when I'm invited, quitting a job I hated, indoor skydiving, yoga hell class.

And I've loved every second of it.

I don't know how it happened. But suddenly I'm one optimistic gal. I'm not so afraid anymore, I'm enjoying myself.
I'm closing my eyes and jumping into the deep end.

so, my future is bright, well.. at least I'm thinking it is.


next tuesday I start another semester of school, ahhh. even though my schedule sucks I can't wait to start, my books have been coming in the mail and I get more excited everyday. I love school.
and next tuesday I also [re]start my job at starbucks, where I will be getting paid a whole lot less, but I'm hoping I will be a whole lot happier.




things to do in the [near] future:
*swim with dolphins
*study abroad
*help someone appreciate themselves


wish me luck
:]
