Today was an incredibly busy day again!
Got up, and managed to muster up the strength to go ride my bike again!
I still am not feeling 100%
I'm not sure if I have a bug or what, I just don't have any energy.
The bike ride was awesome, just cool enough.
I tried to take Shika with me, but she didn't last but one time up and back down the driveway before she wanted to go inside.
When I got done I was walking my bike up the front drive and
SQUISH!
I stepped in FRESH dog doo.
Not one of the million piles of month-old poo,
FRESH poo.
Great.
My shoe was in mid-wash here, that's why it's not on my foot.
I thought a picture of the poo might offend,
maybe next time, if there is one.
Alley was being awesome this morning.
So I did a few more exercises and had a cup of coffee with my mom before I got ready and left for school.
Walked to Japanese only to get a text from Dustin saying that he was feeling "bleh" and wouldn't be coming to Japanese today.
To which I kind of whined back, and he replied that I was a "grown-@$$ woman" and needed to suck it up, so I did...unhappily.
I don't like being alone. u___u
So after class I got another text from my lovely Anna!
I met up with her and she walked with me to take my scholarship form by the F.A. to get the Dean's signature.
Afterward I needed to study for my CAH test that I had, so we parted ways and I headed to the U.C.
After carrying my fat butt all the way across campus, up and down two flights of stairs, and then to another part of campus, I was ready to just sit in my car in front of the blasting AC for 10 minutes as I asked my mom over the phone to get some fruits and veggies from the store when she went so that I could attempt trying to eat healthy again like I did when I went way overboard two years ago.
I went through a phase where I counted calories like mad until I became obsessed with it, and it worked, so I am going to try to ease back into that again.
I would get to where I had an average of 400-500 calories a day instead of whatever appalling amount I have been consuming lately due to stress eating.
I'm sick of doing that.
Anyways....
I found that the UC cafeteria carries Cherry Coke Zero and so I grabbed one of those and a box of nuggets to eat while I had about an hour before my exam.
I quickly got bored and frustrated with all of the material and left about 30 minutes early.
Then went and sat in my car for 15 minutes and went into the building, remembering that I had these in my bag!
Cause, you know, gotta get some sugar to get the brain juice flowin'!
...at least it seemed like a great excuse to eat those peanut M&Ms at the time....
I didn't eat all of them!
....I ate the rest of them later.
So I go into class only to find that some people had requested that we take the test on Wednesday instead, and Prof. Orenduff, being the cutest thing ever, took a vote by raise-of-hands.
Exam = Wednesday = YES.
Saved.
Now I can actually read the book and try to understand it more.
I think I would have been fine if I took it today, but I always feel better if I have more time to prepare.
So we listened to her lecture and sat through a presentation by one student. She did a very nice job, I wish that I wasn't nervous and could present fluently like she did.
___________________________
I ran back by the FA to get the paper after class and then stopped to get gas on the way out of town, stuffing my face with starburst for the majority of the way home.
I need to get away from the candy.
It exhausts me.
When I got back into town I stopped by pitiful Dustin's to give him the sheet from class and his graded assignments that were handed back today.
My mom called to check on me when I didn't get home around when I should have based on when I told her I was leaving school and heard her stirring a big pot in the background and knew that it could only mean one thing...
BURRITOS!
When you are Singletary you can detect, even over the phone, what kind of food is being prepared.
I was so right, and they were so good.
She also bought an amazing menagerie of fruits and vegetables!
Grapes, Tangerines, Grapefruits, a Mango (I'm excited to try that, I've never had a real one), Bananas, Broccoli, Asparagus, Cabbage, Edamame, etc etc.
and YOGURT!
Yogurt will be a great snack.
When I was on that intense crazy calorie counting diet,
much of my intake consisted of yogurt, asparagus, chicken broth, and baked chips.
I lost a lot of weight just by eating half of my recommended caloric intake...HAHA, but this time I hope to combine it with some exercise so that I get some fat off instead of just reducing it.

After dinner I was sitting in my room studying some for my CIA (comp in art) test tomorrow, which will be a breeze, and saw my sweet kitty sitting next to me.
I though to myself, "that isn't close enough,"
and dragged her in my lap as she cried in upset.
Hands-free kitty!
*Gives me the death glare*
*Gives me the death glare*Then she was like,
"Oh, yeah, macbooks. I can totally do this."
And tried to do my work for me.
In mid-study my dad "hollered" at me from downstairs telling me to turn off my lights and look out the window at the moon.
At first I didn't really want to, but decided "what the heck."
I ran downstairs with my tripod and found my camera, trying to catch up to him in the lightless abyss that was our driveway.
Attempting to use my phone that suffers from "technological advancement" in its size, I pretended that the dim light shooting from its face was helping as I repeatedly pressed the "end" button to fuel this hopeless effort.
I couldn't see anything....
But eventually found him in the dark of the field.
We made our way to the wide-open space of field past the crape myrtles and made camp.
My dad had gotten a head start with his giant camera that he uses for work in Lanier, and I was about to fire mine up after gazing in awe at the beauty that was this giant cheese-ball in the sky.
When my camera turned on, I almost cursed loudly at the mocking site of
"No memory card"
flashing on the screen....
as my dad chuckled and took more shots.
I debated whether or not it would be alright to call my mom to ask her to drive up with my card....after all, I knew right where it was, and she needed to see it from the view in the field too.
About 5 minutes later she got to where we were, with my memory card and got out to stand with us for another 5 before she bid farewell saying,
"I love you guys and all....but.....it's cold."
So she sat in the car the rest of the time while we tried not to get frustrated at our cameras not taking clear enough shots for our high taste....
We are spoiled by technology.
Anyway, I think that I came out with some decent shots.
The moon was awesome whether I did get good pictures or not.
They were good enough for me!
When I got back to the house I studied some more and had a peach yogurt cup.
I think tomorrow I am going to start keeping up with my food intake and exercise on here in a chart or something...I think "public" accountability will help me stay on track.
Was the weather today awesome or what?!?!
Happy March 1!
and don't forget about 雛祭り on Wednesday!
おやすみなさい
