i could eat french bread forever

Mmm... along with pretty much any kind of potato dish. Oh carbs, why do you have to be so bad in large amounts?!?


so I'm home. =)

I haven't spent this much time at home since before I started college. It feels kind of strange but I'm also glad to be home. Since we moved into our house last Thanksgiving I haven't been around for more than a couple of weeks at a time so it hasn't really felt like home. After a week everything is starting to feel more familiar and I don't have to stop and think about which cabinet the dishes are in anymore when I'm cooking.

Now that I think about it, it's only been like 9 days since I've been home. I've been sleeping pretty late and starting my day pretty late. Just yesterday I was kind of panicking that I've been wasting my summer doing that, but when I really think about it, I haven't been wasting my time! Everything I've spent my time on so far has been enjoyable. So that's that. =)

But I decided just to be sure that I'm not wasting my life away, I'm going to start writing down what I do. So if I have nothing to write, I'll be reminded to go and do something! But I won't write it on here of course. It might not be that entertaining for other people to read... =p

With school being out, I guess I've had a lot of time to catch up on sleep and get back to myself. I've been feeling a lot healthier and happier. It's really awesome what a bit more sleep and exercise can do. Must try and keep it up during school.
I've also had a lot more time to time to think/talk to Alan. =p

The following are things I've realized:

- I should really stop worrying about people so much. I didn't even really think I did, but when Alan pointed it out to me, I was like, Hey... yeah. I do. And I need to stop because it's just unnecessary stress on myself and it's as if I don't trust that people are able to handle things on their own. I guess I came to this realization because I was noticing how irked I am when people try to take care of me too much.
-I tend to let the way I think things should be pressure me into trying to feel a certain way. If I feel it I do and if I don't I just don't! It's pretty simple. =)
-I spend a lot of money! It's always just a little bit here and there but it really adds up. I am pretty broke right now so I haven't been going out much or buying anything and I'm realizing how I would make some kind of purchase pretty much everyday while I was at school.
-I use the computer A LOT. Am stepping away from it and reading more. =) I just finished the Great Gatsby and am about to start on Animal Farm. I'm also working on this book titled "If You're Clueless About the Stockmarket".

Got tons of free time this week so I found some volunteer opportunities on craigslist. =) Wednesday is the pledge campaign for KPBS and Thursday is San Diego FoodBank.

Saturday... I do THIS

I love free time. =D
