Finishing the Blog

With a new year beginning, I've decided to end my blog. This blog detailed my first semester of college, and that's great, but now I'm moving on and tying loose ends. It's time to buckle down and focus on what I want to do, and I'm going to do more with my tumblr account:

so check it out!

Thanks for listening to me whine and contemplate and I hope you make your life a wonderful one!

Bringing in the New Year...Therapeutic-Style

Our family just had an amazing conversation. I mean, 3/4 of us cried, and the champagne helped...but we talked about a whole lot of heavy things. A lot of stuff that made us upset and uncomfortable, but a friend of mine who I've been talking to a lot recently is showing me how open communication is the best policy. I feel really good. I feel like my family and I have reached another stepping stone. There is so much that we, as members of the family, have kept inside, that's built up in us, that we really need to say. And there is other stuff that we need to repeat. We assume so much when we don't communicate. In general, I hate to tell another person something I know is going to hurt them, especially if it is something that has affected me in a negative way, but that is true. I have so much to learn, but tonight was good. It was a visit to the psychiatrist's without the shrink.

Relationships

Dear Relationships,

You are intriguing, I admit. But you are so fucking difficult. And I am weary of finding the energy to put so much into you when you could potentially screw me over. It's the leap of faith, biting me in the ass...again. Thanks.

And thank you for driving me crazy.

Exasperatedly yours,

Angelica

America's Next Top Model Marathon

It is two days after Christmas, and I was supposed to go to work at 7am, but because of the storm, I've been inside all day. Brie has her friend Gabby over, and they have been watching America's Next Top Model. Bravo is having a marathon. I love this show. I've been gaining a lot of weight lately, especially being in college and what have you. I eat better than many Americans, but I need to be more conscious of what I put into my body. Many times I anticipate the feeling something tasty gives me--a sense of comfort. Namely, sweets make me feel better, but are the worst for me. I took a Provida survey about my body type, and my body does not efficiently make muscle. I need more protein. Basically, I can't be a vegetarian most of the time. I have to change my eating habits all around. Sweets and caffeine do not make me feel good... later, after I consume them. New Year's resolution, anyone? I was also thinking about being a model. I'm considering applying for the next season of America's Next Top Model. I want to work hard and be healthy. Either way, I need to have more discipline around desert time.
