Weight Loss Hurdles

I've successfully gotten off sugar cravings for the most part! Now a few other important things to change..

* Stop eating huge servings of cereal for breakfast, one bowl only.
* Eat cereal only a few times a week- transition to fruit or smoothie , small breakfasts
* Stop eating huge amounts of dried fruit
* Stop eating tonnes of bread everyday.
* Do not buy crackers or cookies
* Stop eating loads of maynaise
* Slow down when eating.
* Stop letting myself get so hungry that I binge eat.
* Actually take the time to make meals.
* Eat more veg
* Eat less. Example - half a packet of Mr Noodles.

Exercise.
4/7 jog, gym etc

Put a Smile on..

If I could gather spirit and energy, positivity then I could probably get all this work done! I need to get my shit together. It will be a rough month (March and April) but once I get through it the weather will turn warm and my happiness will return. Jogs in the park, a new job, farmers market, workshops, the new student preperation etc. Back to reading novels I like and cooking with in season foods!

March. 16- 19th
This week is a test for myself, can I get all this work done well?
Monday 16th
I must prepare for my environmental test
finish my rough draft of poli sci class
for monday because it is due Thursday and I don't want to do it last minute. I also want to have time to think about how to make it better and get it reviewed at the writing centre.

Monday will be spent doing last minute studying for Environmental studies. As well

Tuesday
I have a paper abstract and Enviro watch due for Wednesday so I won't have time to be working on Poli Sci Tuesday.


Wednesday
will be a day to finish the paper.

19th-30th
After those are submitted I will have 2 weeks to finish my environmental paper and group project, Geography paper and Geography slide show. Then the weekend of the 21st- work, the weekend of the
27th- PARTY , SEX, COMPANY yahooo. Cut loose.
(But to cut loose I must do well in school). I should also be healthy again by the time this week is done and can start exercising again and feeling like myself again.

April Exams
Then I will catch up on my readings for another 2 weeks before my first exam which is Philosophy, followed by the rest. I will also spend this time searching for summer employment and sorting out my course load for the summer and the september semester.

Tonight I have to get dressed up and go to Charter night at school and mingle, ugh! And I'm sick too so it really stinks!! I hate that Gina stuck me with this! Oh well it's something I have to learn to deal with, this is perhaps a good oppurtunity to network. And who knows , maybe WUSC will win an award!

Bye

My Life in March (100th post!)

This week I worked very hard, packing my days full of productivity, parading through the school , hitting the gym etc. However it still seems that there is too little time to get everything I need to get done done! A geography paper and project, a phil assignment, an economics assignment, a enviro project and paper and the worst.. a poli sci paper. Then all the readings that seem to steal my time away from everything else, and then catch up in readings that I have missed or haven't been paying attention to from this semester because we haven't been tested on them. Then joy of all joys; exams in April.

Yesterday was the first day of the weekend and boy did I ever veg out. Wasted the whole thing. Stayed up late Thursday night with Louis (3ish?) and then slept in until 2pm. Then did nothing at all that day except for go to the grocery store. At 8 I started getting ready for a party Ange and I were invited to on Wellington. It was a Mustache and Cleavage party, so pumped up the breasts and went down there. Ugh. Everyone was so drunk and messy! I hate house parties haha. So we left and I washed off my make up and showed Louis my outfit. He was pretty impressed. I told him I would wear it out when he comes. I must say, I'm pretty impressed with how it looks myself! Ow ow ow!! Long legs, not a lot of noticable tummy fat, tonnes of cleavage.. I wore legging under it the other night, but if I am brave enough when he comes out I might go without.

Louis was supposed to come out next weekend but last night he told me things had changed... this is incredabely disappionting... I thought I was going to cry when he told me that he and his friends couldn't come until the 27th now.. Why is it when I actually get excited about something these things happen? None the less I've descided to deal with it positively, at least he is still coming out!

When he and his friends arrive Friday we will hit the bars, they will crash here, and Saturday morning I have planned to make them an amazing brunch. I want to be the perfect hostess. I'm going to clean the house and make everything really comfortable and cozy. Depending on how many come I don't know where I will put them.. I was thinking I'd give two the couches and make up Kate lynns bed for whoever elese there is. Louis will stay in my room ahha.. He says I get a massage the first night he's here, but other then fooling around we'll draw a line for the first night. The second night it's a hotel room and the madness begins.

Last nightI had many guilty dreams which only reflected how ashamed I am of slacking off every weekend. I was telling lonely truck drivers that I don't work hard enough at school and swimming around in an ugly one-peice bathing suit at a resort with Tiffany and thinking how badly I need to lose weight. *sigh* At one point I was speaking to a prof telling them how behind I was in my studies, I said, "AND I have a course in Chinese that I haven't even showed up to yet, or opened the book for !!". I remeber this shock of panic went through me , like "damn, I have a course in Chinese, fuck!!".

Oh well it's a nice day and I'll hopefully go for a jog after cleaning the kitchen, then shower, then clean my room and then get to school work.

Peace

My potentional, my future.

Last night WUSC was responsible for coat check which was a fund-raiser for the student refugee program, a program that brings students studying in camps to come to Canada and study on different campuses. It's a very important cause and something I'm very passionate about and work hard to run on my campus. However the coat check was a real flop for the first year because at one door the ticketers weren't telling people about coat check, and also our signs didn't specify what the money went to. So people just hung up their coats on their chairs and instead of getting a hundred dollars we got about 60 (sixty coats). Myself and the other co-chair of the society were really upset about it and felt like real failures... but we learned from our mistake and managed to enjoy the rest of the night. We're having a few more events this week and we hope those will be more successful.

Anyway today I was begining to reseach for a paper I'm doing on the UN and I started looking into the different sectors of the UN. So I asked myself which one I would be interested in because I always vaguely though the UN would be a good organization for a person to work in since they are government and I would have a better chance of getting paid. So I looked into the UNHCR which also partners with WUSC and I started reading and watching videos and learning about the work they do. I realized that I know quite a bit about refugee camps right now perhaps what I should aim for is a career focus on refugee rights when I graduate. I could apply to intern with the UNHCR (as well as WUSC) and CIDA and probably move to Ottawa or to another centre in another country.

So I looked at their applications for internships and I looked at what I would be interested in- probably
* project management
* research
* water
* public information
* community and social services

I'd like to work teaching skills, like english, or technology or be int he community helping with gender equality, and distribution of goods etc.

What I need is to learn french asap, and volunteer with MISA, develop into a strong, organized and focused leader. This summer I'll get to great our new student and hope to God that WUSC can get things together and have leadership for the following year. Our membership is very low right now and it's very worrying. The group is running on the excutive presently and mostly myself and the other co-chair out of those. It's very hard work, and makes me wonder what we've done to have such little interest in WUSC and how we can change that. I've actually been thinking a lot about how I can advice next year without taking on full leadership and make changes in the way WUSC is run to make events more successful, with a higher profile and awaresness among students and be more origonal with things, and most importantly recruit and increase membership. Also how we can support the sponsered students better, have more fun and raise more money. I want to save halifax's WUSC smaller comitees from demise!! Even though WUSC stresses me out to an unimaginable extent I see it as an open door for me. I want to stay actively involved with it until I graduate, and hopefully be accepted to go on a WUSC trip for the summer of 2010, and then do speaking on my experiences, and be an internship for WUSC someday maybe. I want to make sure more people are able to attend the AGA next year!! I want to be one of those people who stand up at being involved for more then 4 years!! I want to be inspiration to new comittees and new comers to the AGA and WUSC. Maybe some day I'll be helping to plan the AGA!

For now I have to declare my major. Take summer courses and get caught up. Start working hard to learn french. Start saving to go away for the summer of 2010, then apply. Make up a CD or binder of tips and techniques for next years committee of things we've learned, and how to do things. I need to bring up my GPA so I can take honors. I need to see my achedemic adviser and see where I am with my courses. I need to get a part time job. Update my portfolio. Join the IDS society or ASEIC next year to make more connections. Make a list of things I'd like to see WUSC achieve next year. Have a brainstorming meeting with our members on how to make WUSC better. Graduate. Etc etc etc.
