I must be crazy...
So, I think I just got unofficially nominated to be the President of my region for NAESC. I'm kinda scared about it, but it would fit into my schedule perfectly, really... I'll be between co-ops when I come into office, and my last co-op will be over the summer, which is when NAESC is kind of in a period of rest. And I'll be done with co-op so I can devote my time to school and co-op. I'd like to do something on my own engineering council, but I think I can do a lot FOR my council by being president. We'll just see how it goes I guess.
Anyway, this conference has been pretty good. I've learned lots of interesting things, but it's going to be hard to take them back to council since I'm on co-op. I guess I could talk to one of the other delegates at my school...
I'm obsessed.
Thanks a lot, Chris E. Now that I'm totally obsessed with
MySpace, everyone has to add me.
I'm feeling better. I just have to remember to take my freaking medicine three times a day, every day. It will be interesting.
Inkblot tests are weird...
Tickle's Inkblot Test...Your unconscious mind is most driven by Peace.
You have a deeply-rooted desire to make peace in the world. Whether through subtle interactions with loved ones, or through getting involved in social causes, it is important to you to be able to influence the world in a positive way.
You have a deep respect for humankind. You care about the future of the world, even beyond your own involvement in it, and you inspire others to feel the same way. Your innate drive toward peace guides you in daily life towards decisions that are respectful toward yourself and others.
Your psyche is very rich; the more you learn about it, the more you will understand who you really are.
Yay for the new delta-tee boys!
Yesterday, Sheryll and I went to the gym and it was much fun! My shoulders and pecs definitely burn from that press machine. Oh well, it's good for ya! I need to hop on the scale today before going out to watch The Exorcism of Emily Rose... the critics say it's not all it's hyped up to be, but I don't have a problem with going to watch it for myself... especially since I'm going out with the Prout and the 'Shley! and the Boyfriend (not my boyfriend, 'Shley!'s boyfriend).
Anyway, last night I went to Triangle's pref dinner with Bryce. It was good times, but it got better at the 'after party' at Corbett's house. I knew I was getting pretty gone after breaking one of Sung Jun's shot glasses (sorry SJ!) while doing shots with him while waiting for the bathroom to open up. After getting pretty toasted at Corbett's, Bryce and I went down the street to his friend Jenny's house where we partied even more and met lots of cool kids.
After getting random alcohol from Bojangles (Jenny's boyfriend) and Timmy, among other people, I saw one of my friends from high school that I haven't seen in like 3 years. She was still super-cool, as always, and we (of course) reminisced about HS a little, and talked about how retarded our mutual friends are. :) I did some crazy dance moves that people with bad knees should never do, drunk or sober, and then Bryce and I fell in love with an assortment of people (John, Kristen, Slim, Dave, HP Will, Brenan, Jennifer, Tony, Jesse the Black Power Ranger, and probably some other people... lol) and then Jenny kicked everyone out, since we were all on her porch anyway, and Bryce helped me drunkenly stumble home. I ripped a chunk out of my (bad) knee before getting into bed, probably from the jankedy bed frame which now protects robbers from getting into my closets (lol). I realized I was totally trashed when I saw it semi-bleeding and said I was going to put hand sanitizer on it so it wouldn't get all gross, and Bryce told me not to do it but when I did it it didn't burn. I get really strong when I get drunk. It's weird!
That is the drunkest I've ever been in my life... I went to bed around 5 or 6 AM, and every time I woke up until about 3 (yes, PM) I was still drunk. I don't remember if I was taking the Tylenol to combat the headache of being hung over, or because I was in pain! I dunno if I ever want to get that drunk again, but I
DO know that Jenny needs to have another party (or Punk Rock Aaron)! I love being social!!!
Tae Bo is... *be positive* exercise...
So, since Sheryll and I didn't get to go to the gym today, I decided to whip out the (dreaded) Tae Bo DVD. It wasn't too bad, except all we were doing was kicks. Have you SEEN my legs? I mean, come ON Billy... I need upper body work. Put some more punches in there! I'm sorry that most people have weak legs and strong knees. And that was just the 'instructional' (as in "learn all the moves before doing the beginners' video) video. Oh well.
If When I do it again, I guess I'll keep the punches at the same rate, and do the kicks at half speed. I was also doing okay until the Prouty distracted me. It wasn't too bad, because I stopped paying attention to what Billy was doing (which was walking around and critiqueing) and just looking at the other intructors with him.
I already have my left knee taped up. At least I haven't dislocated it. Yet. Just strained it. I also have to remember to do my back stretches before I do TB. I have a tendency to not want to stretch my back or extend my back or twist fully, which means I'm not doing the proper movement, which means I'm not getting the full workout from the movement. And ya know ya want the full workout!!! :)
obsessed with my weight...
Ya know, I really need someone to MOTIVATE ME to lose weight. On a regular basis. Someone that's HERE. Not like "you're totally fat, let's go to the gym." ... I don't really know any positive motivation for "let's get movin'". Maybe I should hire a drill sergeant (haven't I said this already? Maybe not). I just hate physical activity. Mostly because physical activity is crap. My knee is weird. Excuses, I know... but I'll let you trade me and then you can walk around for two hours or exercise for 45 minutes. However, I do like swimming. But public pools kinda weird me out. So yea to that.
I think I don't want to be motivated. I like to do things on my own. I'm an on-my-own type of person. If I can't do it myself, I really don't want to do it at all. That's not the case in the real world, but whatever. Also, I'm so antisocial that when I get around someone that I really DO connect with, I practically kill myself to be completely available for them when there's even a hint of a chance that they'll be around.
I'm weird.
You know what... every time I say or think something bad about myself, another minute on the elliptical runner. You know how much I hate running, though it's easier on the elliptical. :P
random thoughts of the future
Okay, this seems weird... but there's 7.5 months left until my spring break. I actually want to GO somewhere. I don't really care with whom, or to where, or any of that crap. I just wanna experience some FUN during college!
This means going to the gym more often. Well, let's start small... twice a week with Sheryll won't kill me for now. :) Also, borrowing my dad's Tae Bo DVD would be a good idea. I'm sure he's done with it. I'll ask, to be nice.
... I don't really know why I've been posting a lot lately. I think it's just the fall season that gets my brain into gear. I feel more productive at work, too. Turns out I've had tasks to do this whole time... the engineer that assigned them to me just EMAILED them to me all week (as opposed to telling me; easier on both parties for big chains of info from other companies), but I just got my work email set-up again today.
Happy birthday Trey (the 3rd) and Bridg (the 4th)!!! :) [Since I will be in the ATL this weekend, I won't be able to tell joyous stories about their respective days of birth.]
