This week was hard.
Mr More was a big part of my life, and with his death last Saturday, I wore my heart on my sleeve for most of the week. I made it to the bathroom before it happened, but I cried on Monday during a break at grad school. The teacher is NOT A NICE PERSON and she embarrassed me in front of the class. Normally I would have just sucked it up, but since I was so emotional, it really tore me up. The other girls in the class helped calm me down, but I was a mess for a few minutes. I think the fact that I hadn’t cried since the beginning of school and I had alot of pent up stress really didn’t help the situation. 
School (other than the teacher from hell) has been going well. I love all but one of my classes, and feel like I am keeping up with the (massive amounts) of work. I have two 10 page papers due in 2 weeks, so I have a new source of stress. I have been out of school for 10 years and I can’t remember the last “academic” paper I had to write. One of the papers is for the class/teacher I dislike, so I am not excited to even start it. But I have done some of the research, so I at least know my topic and sources.
My eating has been OUT OF CONTROL. I have been “trying” the new food around school, interspersed with bringing my lunch from home. The problem with bringing my lunch is that I am not getting enough protein and I am getting WAY too much sugar. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY toooooooooooo much sugar.
My pants are getting tight and I have been feeling crappy. Also, I have a HUGE, painful underground pimple on my chin that is Reeeeeeally pretty. I went to the store Friday and bought more protein-rich foods, and more veggies. GOAL: I am going to try to bring my lunch 3 days next week and make better choices when I eat out. On the positive side, there is a Subway right downstairs from my morning classroom; they have really good healthy choices and it helps me getting veggies and protein in during the day.
I spent my day yesterday at a friend’s wedding (which was beautiful) and was able to relax by taking photos. Taking pictures and learning the ins and outs of my camera is really relaxing to me. Below are two of my (no people in the picture) favorites…
I got a new MacBook Pro laptop 2 weeks ago and I am GIDDY- I love this thing. It makes my grad school life SO much easier. I now have a reliable computer than can be completely wireless for more than 15 minutes. Oh, and that turns on (every time) when I open the lid.
OK, I gotta go figure out what I am going to eat for dinner. Will be back later this week with an update (hopefully).
