Well thank goodness Im feeling a bit more optimistic today. Still tight on cash, but doing well nonetheless. Now if I could just figure out how to lose 20 lbs, Id be all set! LOL...Seriously though, I do want to lose some weight. I'd just be happier with myself. Ugh, off to shower I go...wonder when I will start studying for the GREs....hmmm

soooo tired

2006-10-26T02:10:03Z

When will the exhaustion end? I need to start exercising again, this sucks. I hate being this tired. Well, at least I can end my busy day with a wonderfully, hot and relaxing shower. Ahhhhhhh.....I always love it when Wednesdays are over, Thursday just seems like passing thought to final conclusion of the weekend. Maybe I can push myself to workout now - I just still can't believe how physically demanding this year's work is. Ugh... Off I go to scrub and clean!

why the hell do I want to eat? I am not hungry. I am not hungry. Grrrrrr, I wish this desire would just go away. I am bored, I am not hungry. Time to shower, then maybe read. No eating, no eating! No more eating! I promise.

Hmmm, ao this tutoring is getting on my nerves...When people cancel at the last minute, it really pisses me off. I need this extra income! Back to Craig's List I go...sigh

What a day - after getting a lousy night's sleep last night, I am finally getting a chance to just veg. And what a terribly physical day it was at work, ugh! I am just happy to say that I am earning some more money now thanks to my tutoring. I feel like Im much more on top of things. Ya know, they say that money isn't everything but consider this: without money, you can't do anything! LOL Hmmm, I believe that whomever came up with that saying might need to reconsider and revise. LOL At any rate, I feel like Im still in the process of settling into my apartment. It just seems to get better and better each and every day. I love changing little details and adding small touches here and there. The silliest little change makes me feel so independent and so happy. I do think I should try to stop imagining what else I can buy (which at this point isn't much at all!) but I have decided to start setting some money aside so I can save up for items I want. Let's see, I want (in no particular order): new couches, a bigger TV for the living room, a storage bench that can double as comfy extra seating, a second night table from Ikea, maybe one more dresser and some more decorative art. I think that's about it for now? Of course a bigger kitchen isn't possible right now, but I'd settle for a new stove (pilot lights are dangerous!!!) Okay, so I think I've blabbed enough for now. Kind of fun when you don't have to write on any particular topic. Tee hee hee. Time to check on kitty. Ta ta....

its 10:19pm and Im missing Dexter!

2006-10-23T02:25:02Z

Well, I decided not to watch Dexter tonight, only because I need to get to bed earlier. I can always watch it On Demand tomorrow...I just hate waiting but if it means I will be better rested and more prepared for my students, then so be it. I guess I am willing to make this small sacrifice...although now this stupid new series on NBC is starting to get interesting (Heroes). I think I watch altogether too much television. Sigh....but how can I say no to programs about psychology, animals, science and the like?

Well, I must say it always makes me feel better when I've gotten a bunch of things done that I didn't want to do in the first place. Here's what I did this afternoon (yes, it was all boring and mundane):

1. Straightened up the apartment
2. Fed the cat
3. Washed the dishes/cleaned the counter
4. Cleaned the litter (always the highlight of my housekeeping responsibilities)
5. Took out the garbage
6. Hung a new picture in the bathroom (already framed and only cost $1)
7. Did two loads of laundry
8. Sorted through old stuff at my parents' house
9. Organized crap in my car

Now if I can just figure out how to incorporate my daily exercise routine back into my life, that'd be great. LOL Fat chance since my students always give me a workout during the day! :)

What do you do on a Sunday?

Why am I being so lazy!? Well, granted I cleaned the litter, washed some dishes and emptied the garbage. I never realized how much I hated laundry! :)

Sunday afternoon and I just basically got up. Didnt mean to sleep so late but there were alarms going off and they woke me up earlier. Now I have laundry and exercise to look forward to, lol....

OH! So an idiot savant is not the PC term! They have Asperger's Syndrome. At least according to the site I just visited. Apparently, Albert Einsten had the mild form of autism. Fascinating! I did not know that!

Im not tired!

2006-10-22T04:52:18Z

Its almost 1am now, but I dont want to go to sleep! Wish I did...maybe I'll go read for now. Just finished watching a documentary on the real rain man. Turns out he doesn't have autism, he is missing his corpus callosum! And yet, he has many autistic-like behaviors. Guess that would make sense since some of his behaviors are socially inappropriate. I can't imagine having that much knowledge in my brain. Makes me think how ordinary we all are!

I wish I werent such a loner. I really have so many interests Id love to share with people. I just feel a general disconnect with people. Of course being a TA doesnt provide me with my intellectual equals! ]

I miss the gorillas...I'm totally going to the Bronx again when I get the chance. Weird how a lot of my interests seem to be intersecting naturally: psychology, primatology, autism and developmental disabilities. What does it all mean? Will I end up working with austistic monkeys? LOL I wonder if those exist.

All I can do is keep on keepin' on...I know I'll find my place in society sooner or later. Just kinda sucks to be in my mid-twenties and not kmow where I'm headed.
