Diaries Happiness is not pleasure, it's victory en>fr fr>en By ballerinatwirler Comments: 1792, member since Sat May 29, 2004On Fri Feb 03, 2012 10:24 PM
I locked my last diary because I didn't feel like it was suitable.
I am back with my boyfriend again after a two week break. I was unhappy because I felt like our relationship was progressing any further. After almost 6 years I wanted to have some sort of commitment. During our time apart I realized that there isn't a rush to move in together or get engaged. I would rather have him in my life the way things are then be without him.
Tonight was pretty good. I went out to dinner with my best friend and did some light shopping. I feel so guilty for spending so much money tonight especially on dinner.
Work has been so dead lately that I'm trying to pinch every penny until it picks up again. I spent more at dinner today then I made at work this afternoon.
I'm falling asleep so I'll update tomorrow. 33 Replies to Happiness is not pleasure, it's victory |

I have so much schoolwork to do! I'm going over my friend's house to study because my family will be watching the super bowl with surround sound on. And also because my mom is evil but that's another story. She went away for the night with her husband and since she came home she's being a major bitch for no reason so I'm assuming she's either tired or hung over.
I can't believe it's February! Our weather is pretty fabulous right now. All week it's been 40-60 which is the heat wave for us. Last year at this time we had a major snowstorm.
I'm dreading tomorrow it's my longest day at school. |

I had a really nice afternoon. I went to hang out at my friend's apartment. We decided to make cupcakes so we went to the store to buy all the essentials since she just moved out of her mom's house and doesn't quite have all the kitchen essentials quite yet. We made lemon cupcakes with vanilla/cream cheese frosting and they were amazing! They are so light and fluffy. I've had three tonight  but I'm not really feeling that guilty.
I'm so jealous of her places it's more like an townhouse then an apartment. It's two stories and is huge! She has three bedrooms and the largest bathroom I've ever seen and she doesn't pay that much for it. She pays amount the same amount as a normal two bedroom apartment. Her place is downtown so she's close to everything. She could walk to the bank, restaurants, and even laundry mat. I just love the feel of going over there because it's so peaceful without parents intruding and being nosy. |

Today was interesting. I think I failed my biochemistry test but on the plus side most of the class thought they did too. The professor gave us a study guide and told us in class what she was putting on the exam. Well not one thing from the study guide was on the exam it was mostly random crap. But I'm facing a dilemma I'm in love with my social work class. As cheesy as it sounds I feel like I've finally found my place. Everyone in the nutrition program is ubber competitive and cliquey and the social work group is so nice. I'm also not a health nut like everyone else and I work in sports bar so everyone is always commenting about it. Our menu is wings, burgers, deep fried goodies, and beer so that doesn't scream healthy!
I'm really struggling in Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry so if things don't pan out at least I'll have another major but I hate the thought of starting at the beginning. I'm a junior for crying out loud. I haven't told my family how I'm feeling because they would be disappointed if I switch from nutrition to social work because I would make a lot less. I don't feel like money can buy happiness though.
I would happy if I had a small little house and a small family that wasn't rich as long as I'm passionate about my work. Another idea I'm toying with is double majoring. I still have 4-5 semester left in the nutrition program and I'm done with my electives so I do have room for social work classes. My life would suck towards the end. |

School went well today because I only had one class. I had a computer exam and I think I did really well on it. I went to buy my chemistry book because I've been saving up for it because it's over $200 and the bookstore is out! I think I might just buy it on amazon and have it expedited.
I'm so hungry but my brother made chili and I'm allergic to it for some odd reason so I either can make something that isn't healthy or I can go out and buy something.
Dull day! |

I love how everyone is always looking forward to the weekend and I now dread it. I hate working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but oh well I obviously need work to live.
I'm feeling pretty awesome because I just bought all my chem stuff online. I bought the edition below which is identical to the current edition. So in total I bought the book , study guide, practice problems, organic chemistry for dummies, and the access code for under $60!! The only thing I need is the $50 lab manual. At school I would've spent $300. I wish I would of bought my supplies earlier but I'm a procrastinator.
I'm not sure if I'm going to stay in Organic Chemistry this semester or not. I really behind and totally lost. I'm considering dropping it and taking it in the summer or taking it now and if I do awful retaking it for a better grade. I have no idea what to do. |

So I woke up today feeling awful. My head, chest, and throat is killing me. I drove to work because I didn't want to call off and get in trouble. So I go into work and I'm not on the floor plan and the manager says " Well someone made a mistake and you can just go home ". I drove 30 minutes for nothing. I ended up getting some soup from the Chinese restaurant and some mashed potatoes from KFC. So I think I'm going to spend the day on the couch watching re-runs of the real housewives of orange county. |

So we are in the middle of a snowstorm and I woke up today feeling awful so I called work at 9:00 AM and no managers were in yet so I finally got a hold of a manager who normally is really nice I tell him how I'm feeling and how I don't think I should go in and he just says " Okay Feel better " and hung up. What a douche! I'm sick and we are in the middle of a storm, I doubt my presence will be missed. I texted a girl from work to see if she wanted my shift tomorrow so I'm hoping she says yes because this is a crappy flu.
On the plus side my boyfriend brought me some soup!
The sirens are going off every 5 minutes because of how many accidents have happened. Yuck. |

I'm finally over my mini-flu but now I have cramps, back pain, and a migraine. So yesterday morning when I woke up we had an additional 4 inches on the ground and we had a white-out. I call work because I'm still really sick and the manager picks up and says " Are you there " So he was calling me at the same time I was calling him. Nice. He gave me the day off because of the snow and because he knew I was sick. Of course when the managers I really like are there I'm not. I spent the entire weekend in bed not doing anything but watching tv and eating massive amounts of carbs.
I was on facebook last night and saw that my boyfriend's close friend got engaged to a girl he's been dating for a year. It stings so bad everytime someone else gets engaged. I feel like a loser.
On the plus side I've spent most of my night on Twitter reading #Waitressproblems and it sums up my life. I loved when someone posted " Waitressing is the only job that you can walk out with $1 or $100". Seriously sums up my life. |

So let's try this again. I tried 3X on Tuesday to post but it wasn't working for me.
This has been my week in a nutshell..
Monday- I only went to Social Work because we were getting back our Biochemistry exams and I didn't want to be there for that.
Tuesday- I spent my day shopping for V-Day and baking for my boyfriend. I went out to dinner with my parents. I saw my boyfriend for like 45 minutes because he had class all night.
Wednesday- I had a major panic attack on the way to my first Organic Chemistry exam so I went in the parking deck and couldn't find a space so I just left and didn't take the test. I came home and told my mom that I wanted to switch my major to social work and she was fine with that. I was so happy because I dropped organic chemistry!
Today- I got pretty late and had a ton of errands to run. I cleaned up and cooked dinner.
My plans for this weekend are work, work, and did I mention work? I haven't worked for two weeks so I'm nervous for some odd reason. I have Mon-Thurs off because of school and just work the weekends. I was off all last weekend because I had the flu. I'm also hanging out with my best friend tomorrow night but I'm feeling indifferent about it because she loves to go out to nice dinners and I really don't want to eat a ton of junk. We love going to the Olive Garden but it's soooo unhealthy. She's really lucky because she has great metabolism and she's super tall so she can afford to splurge once in a while. |

My diary post aren't working. I've tried a few times to update but it's not working.
My weekend was fairly dull because I worked non-stop. I made really good money this weekend so I don't have a ton of financial worries for the time being. Friday I was scheduled on the patio so I wasn't expecting to make very much but I had a few smaller parties that tipped decently. Saturday was insane! We were so busy and very much understaffed but that ended up being a good thing because more tables = more $$$. I was supposed to leave around 5 but one girl was really overwhelmed with her section so I picked up a few tables to help her out. All of the other girls except three of us left without helping stock or rolling silver wear which was so unfair and when I wanted to leave a girl gave me attitude because she thought I didn't do enough even though I did more than anyone. Sunday was awful because I was in severe pain so I had a shorter day.
Monday morning I went shopping with my friend and got a ton of cute clothes. I got a Pink tee and two pairs of undies from Victoria's Secret for $14 because of coupons. I got a cute black top from old navy and pink diamond flip flops. At Forever 21 I got a red fleece jacket for $9.99, a cute knit white top, and a navy blue jungle print top. I had a test in social work that I think went decent.
Today has been dull! |

I'm finally getting my stride back! I went to the gym for the first time in months and it felt great..actually it felt painful but you get the point. I was only there for about 40 minutes but I didn't want to over-do it. I went on the elliptical for 25 minutes and lifted some weights. Shortly after I went to the store and bought some aleve, some bengay, and a sweat towel.
Now I have the rest of the day for laundry and cleaning. Go me!
I don't know if anyone actually is reading this but I'm so stressed out with my boyfriend right now. For a few weeks he's been acting weird about money. He already works for our college and gets paid a decent amount for the work he does but he's been back at his first job (he quit the first job because of school). He claimed his first job needed him because of a few people quitting and he was just filling in for the time being but I found out he is saving up to study aboard this summer. My issue is that he didn't even tell me he was planning on going to Europe until I found the paperwork on his desk. He just went to Europe last spring and studied aboard!! I don't know why I'm so upset about it. I was planning a beach vacation for us in May so now that isn't going to happen and he wants to take a trip in the fall but I have school.
He already is going away for a week in March for spring break and then to learn he is going away again for 6 weeks boils me blood like no other.
The only positive to him being gone for 6 weeks is I was planning on taking a summer class and I could spend extra time at work so I wouldn't be sad. |

Today is offically I hate the world day! I'm sick of being surrounded by selfish people. My family is driving me crazy, my boyfriend is driving me crazy, and my job is driving me crazy. I feel like lately my days have been really awesome mixed with awful. My mom's dog is feeling sick and I feel so bad for him. His little tummy is making all sorts of noises but he is in good spirits. |

The past few days have been boring. Nothing really exciting to report. I worked Friday and Saturday and we were semi-busy so it went by fast. Sunday I went to my boyfriend's for a little bit. I accomplished everything I wanted to today I went to the gym, post office, bank, made a DR appointment and donated clothes. Last night I started throwing away old school papers from nutrition that have been collecting dust. It made me kind of sad. All I have left to do is go to school and pay the rest of my tuition off.
I don't want to go to class today because my prof wrote me a condescending email. Originally I took the class in Fall of 2010. I had surgery and had to miss two weeks of class and then after attending class for two weeks I ended up with a severe flu which made me miss another week. It's a computer class that requires your full attention because ever class we complete a project. Anyways I couldn't catch up in time and ended up failing the class because I didn't know I could take a medical withdraw or an incomplete. So the prof told me I could keep any of my good grades from last time and re-do the bad grades. It was really nice of her and she made it seem like for the first few classes since I was keeping my grades that I could miss class. Because it's a waste of time to sit there when my work is complete. Anyways now she's changed her tune and wants me to attend class even if I'm not working on anything. Make up your mind lady!! |

So it's offically been one week without a computer at home. I am so bored at home now. I'm planning on getting a cheap laptop tomorrow hopefully just to get me through this semester and possibly summer session. I think in August I'm going to be a really nice desktop to use for school work so I don't have to spend all of my time in computer labs at school.
Last week I didn't really do to much besides go to class and work out. I worked all weekend again and was drained by Sunday night. I made decent money over the weekend. My manager asked me if I wanted to do a double in a couple of days and I agreed because I know it'll be great money but I'm worried about being there 12+ hours on my feet. I told the manager that I could work more next week with it being spring break so hopefully she'll schedule me but she is always so busy I'm betting she forgets about it. They've also fired two more people at work and go figure the two people they fired were the ones who always picked up shifts if you needed them to. I was really sad about the guy being fired because he was so nice and such a good worker but apparently he didn't show up for a shift and it was one of the busiest days ever. The girl who got fired J was a total witch and we were all betting on how long it would be until she was fired. It's funny that everyone bitched about how much they hated her but now that she's gone everyone is sad.
I seriously don't know what I'm going to do over spring break since my boyfriend will be away and my friends will be at work. Blahh. |

It's been a long week already.
Friday: I was driving to work and I started having major pains in my stomach. So I get to work and the GM tells me two people called off. I was like great we only have 4 servers on in the entire restaurant now there is now way I'm going home. I spent the 1.5 hours of my shift balling my eyes out because of the severe pain which was humilating but there was no way I could leave. I ended up not much very much money but I did get to leave right after the lunch rush.
Saturday: I worked my 12 hour shift and it was awful! It started off really slow through lunch and my customers were freaks all afternoon so I made a small amout of money but when the dinner rush started I making some money. The girl I was sharing my section/room with was being so bitchy. Since she was closing she needed to sign me out and just kept giving me tons of tons of crap to do so I couldn't leave while she sit on her butt and pigged out. I finally clocked out on my 12 hour mark. I couldn't fall asleep after I got home so I stayed up till 3AM and slept the next day until 1 PM. Then I went out to lunch with my best friend. We were talking about money and what not and she told me that as soon as her boyfriend gets a job they would be moving in together and she would be moving 1.5 hours away. He graduates from his Master's program in two months but already had a ton of job interviews lined up so I'm assuming she'll be moving within the next three months. I know I'm going to lose my best friend when she moves. I'm sure we'll be friends but just not as close anymore. I really don't even what to make an effort anymore because what's the point I'm not going to see her after she moves hardly ever. She's already attached at her BF's hip and I'm sure it'll be a short time before they are engaged.
I found out some sad news last week that my other best friend's mom has breast cancer. Her mom is super young like mine only in her mid 40s. I feel so bad for my friend and her mom. My friend A is already working a full time stressful job and goes to school at night. Her mom lives by herself in a small apartment but doesn't have a car so I have no idea how she is going to get back and forth to all of her appointments. She was supposed to find out what their plan of treatment is going to be today but I haven't heard from A so I'm a little worried. |
re: Happiness is not pleasure, it's victory en>fr fr>en By ballerinatwirler Comments: 1792, member since Sat May 29, 2004On Tue Mar 13, 2012 08:40 PM
So I had a major freak out earlier due to Facebook. I was looking my boyfriend's brother's girlfriend's page and saw pictures she uploaded of herself and my boyfriend's parents. Let me back and up explain a few things.. I'm not close with my boyfriend's parents or any of his family. We've been together for almost 6 years and I'm not really included in anything. His brother has been dating his girlfriend for under 6 months and she is already included in family dinners but I'm not?! I don't know the whole story I think she lives near them and could possibly be a distant neighbor so they might have known her for years. So of course I believe his parents don't like me. We play nice with each other and we'll talk a bit here and there and we exchange Christmas presents but besides that we aren't remotely close. My family has always went out of their way to include him.
What sucks is my boyfriend is out of town so we haven't had a chance to have a lenghty discussion about it.
The thing that kills me is I'm a freaking fabulous person. I have excellent people skills and I'm even close with my friend's parents. I'm a good girl. There is not one thing that they can dislike me for because I'm always nice and respectful to them. He is more of a mama's boy than his brother so I always thought that maybe his mom thought I was stealing him from her.
I was thinking to myself earlier we are never going to be able to move forward with our relationship if his parents hate me. I would literally felt like I wasted the past 6 years. If his parents disapprove of me the relationship is dead. |

Only one day left of my spring break! I don't go back to class until Monday but I work all weekend and we are expecting it to be busy and also because a good chunk of the staff is out of town on spring break. Hopefully it'll lead to some $$$$. I'm feeling a little stressed about going back to work because of left weekend where Friday I was so sick I couldn't function and because of my 12 hour shift on Saturday. I'm thinking of taking a weekend off in the near future maybe the first week of May or finals week? And maybe taking a random Saturday off in April.
I finally started my paper that is due Monday. It's not really a paper as much as a ask these questions in order and write them in paragraph form.
Tomorrow I have a big list of random errands to do like workout, go tanning, get gas, go to the bank, go grocery shopping with my brother, take my car to the car wash, cook dinner, do two more sections of my paper, finish cleaning my room, return a pair of jeans and possibly buy some new curtains.
I'm barely making it through this week without my boyfriend. What am I going to do when he is gone for 6 weeks? I'm not even the clingy type and it's still hard for me. |

Edited by ballerinatwirler (95023) on 2012-03-21 20:00:36 Forgot stuff
So last week my manager asked me if I could pick up a lunch shift this week and I agreed. So I went into work today and we were dead. I had three tables and made $19 and ended up being at work for 2.5 hours. What a waste of gas to drive 30 minutes both ways and leave with $19 dollars?! Af after work I went to walmart to try and find a fan for my window since it's been in the 80s all week and the sales associate told me they were sold out of fans because of the recent heat wave. I ended spending too much money on snacks for work and random stuff. I came home and made a mini pizza and started watching tv when A our family friend came over with my Avon order. I ordered three lip glosses and three nail polishes and two eyeliners. Two of the lip glosses are ugly, they are supposed to just give you shine not color but they give a really weird color off. The nail polishes are so itty bitty. This is the second time I've ordered Avon and been disappointed so I think I'm done with that. Then I took my dog to the vet and ended up meeting some really nice people. I felt so bad for this one young girl and her husband. They have a 9 week puppy that is roughly 5 lbs and she was attacked last week in her backyard. The girl was walking her dog around their backyard and out of nowhere the neighbor's pitbull mix attacked the puppy and the girl. The puppy is missing a ton of skin on the one side and the girl's leg is all messed up. I really hope the neighbors have to pay for their medical treatment. After I left there I went to the dollar store and got a mini box fan for my window and the supplies to take care of my dog. So I've discovered my love for Dollar General today! I usually just go to walmart or family dollar for little things like shave gel, razors, body wash, and etc but I was blown away by how nice Dollar General is. They have everything I could probably want besides food and clothes. At buying my stuff today I received a coupon that is 5 dollars off of 25 this weekend and I can combine it with other coupons I have for razors. I'm going to try and write a list up so I can buy some things in bulk.
So I really need to learn how to say " No " especially at work. Since I dropped my Organic Chemistry class I don't have class on Wednesdays anymore and the manager asked me about it and wanted to know if she could add me to the schedule for every Wednesday. I agreed but I wish I would of been honest with her and declined. Right now I work all weekend and obviously it's alot busier on the weekends at a restaurant and I'm so physically/mentally exhausted by Sunday night that I'm miserable. Wednesdays are my only day that I have down time, well not anymore. I mean on one hand it's good because of course it's extra money but on the other hand I need a break too. I plan on taking a weekend off at the end of April to re-charge before finals and before I start working tons in the summer.
In other work related news they put two people on probation and both people have broken rules while on probation and there are rumors going around that they are fired but we won't know until the schedule is put up in a few days. We've lost over 75% of our serving staff since we opened. And yes all 75% were fired. Scary! |

So this morning I went to the doctors and was surprised to learn I lost 7lbs since January which is very happy news. I've started working out again and doing better portion control. I knew I lost some weight because my jeans are starting to get a little baggy and my work shirts are looser. Then I went to a different restaurant ( in our chain ) to buy new work shirts since they have better styles and colors. I made the mistake of going around noon so they were beginning to get their lunch rush and they were sold out of all the cute shirts except for extra larges. So I'm going to try again in a few weeks or go to a different restaurant. Then I went and got gas, went tanning, and came home. I hung out with my boyfriend for a while at his house and we went out for chinese and mine wasn't very good.
I came home and since then I've sat here doing this and that. |

Since I haven't posted since Thursday here's my past few days.
Friday: I worked my normal lunch shift but we were dead and I got stuck there until the night crew came in and only made $60 which isn't terrible but I had crappy customers all day. One of my gems was a small family consisting of a male in his mid 60s and his wife also in her mid 60s and their really rude disabled daughter. I hate calling someone disabled rude but she had difficulities walking but talked to me like I was her slave. Anyways they spend like 20 minutes looking over the menus which was fine and then when I went to take their order they kept me over there for 15 minutes then they all changed their orders about five times. So I would write everything down and then I'd have to cross it out. So their foods comes and the daughter is bitching about everything under the sun. The father ordered a large monster burger and then complained he couldn't fit it in his mouth ( almost wrote mother , lol ) so he shoved it in and purposely let half the contains fall on the carpet in protest of how big it was. Like seriously you are that stupid and immature. They complained about sales tax and only gave me a $2 tip. I went home Friday night and did nothing besides laundry.
Saturday: I worked from 11:30 AM to 11:30 PM which was fine but I didn't make as much money as I hoped to. It was so busy and my table ran the hell out of me but everyone was pretty nice. So I had a screw up in the morning that I was embarassed about. So this lady is asking for a special drink and I couldn't really understand what she wanted so I thought I put the order in correctly and here I accidently gave her a double instead of a normal drink so it was $3.00 more a drink and since she ordered three and it ended up being $ 9.00 extra. I kind of wish I knew more about alcohol and the terminology. She was fairly buzzed and her brother talked her out of complaining so it was fine but I know she's a regular and I will probably see her again but she did give me a good tip so oh well.
Sunday: I ended up having the day off because this guy B wanted Saturday off because he had job training so since I worked his shift plus mine he picked up my Sunday shift and let me tell you it was heaven! I literally laid in bed all day with the exception of picking up pizza and running to the store.
Today: I woke up at 1:15 and had to be at class at 2 so I hurried up and got ready. My class was fairly boring and we learned we don't have class next week and our prof moved our test back a week. I ended up getting a 39/50 on my paper which was 100% my fault because I left the paper until the last minute and then I wrote the last two pages in 30 minutes before class. I'm not too worried because our prof is giving us an extra credit project worth 5 points and yes those points seem small but they could make a big difference in our grades.
In other news I have a weird rash on my face. It isn't noticable but my face feels really rough like I have a million tiny bumps so who knows what that's about. |

I'm so annoyed with the world today. My day started rocky when I woke up with a major stomachache. I went to work and we were so dead. My first table didn't tip me at all which is rare but so annoying. They were a middle age couple who forced me to talk to them for like 10 minutes and seriously no tip? Then the managers cut everyone except for me and one other server. The other server kept taking numerous smoke breaks and kept giving me her " rejects " anyone that walked in that looked less than rich she gave them to me which was her loss because they all tipped decent. I only ended up having a total of 6 tables all day which really sucked. I finally told the manager that I wasn't able to work Wednesday afternoons because of school and because right now it's a waste of money to drive 30 minutes and leave with 20 or 30 in tips. Another thing that irriates me is one lady has to leave at 2 everyday so she never has to stay while it's dead. After today I'm really considering applying at other places.
Then I get online and my boyfriend is sending me links of different beaches and prices for our supposed trip in August. I really loved the one hotel but the beach is like a 14 hour drive from here and I'd rather fly but he refuses. By the time we drive down and back and stay at a hotel halfway there and back it will cost the same but there is no arguing that point with him. He also wanted to drive my car down there and that's not happening because my car is so tiny that we'd be cramped and my car is old and isn't a smooth drive.
My to-do list for tomorrow
-get my dog a vet appointment
-get my brother's dog a grooming appointment
-go to the gym
-tan
-get gas
-finish 3 mini projects for class
-organize my new photo album
-go to class
-clean my room |

^ I actually completed all of to-dos
I worked all weekend again but it wasn't too bad. It was decent money and it wasn't overly busy. But of course I procrastinated all week and weekend and had to finish alot of work early today.
I went to my social work class and my prof switched all of our due dates on us last class. The couple of people who missed last class came in without completed assignments and the prof told them she would not take any late work so their grade will automatically drop one or more grades. The one girl in my group bitched that no one informed her that the assignements were due and threw a hissy fit. I mean seriously we're in college , take some responsibility for yourself. So she walked out of class and told the prof she was dropping it but it's too late for that so she would have to take an automatic F. I think it would be better for her to take a C then have to take a F and repeat an introduction course. Everyone in the class complains about how hard the class and the professor is but I'm probably crazy because I love that it is structured like that. It's makes everyone accountable for their choices and actions.
I can't believe the semester is almost over we have three weeks left of class and then finals week. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself when summer rolls around. My boyfriend will be gone for 6 weeks and my best friend is moving 1.5 hours away with her boyfriend. I hate getting old! All of my friends have full time jobs besides me.
I really want to take a summer class but I would have to pay a grand out of pocket which isn't going to happen.
My goals for the summer are to save enough for a down payment for invisalign, save for my trip in August, and save money for books for the fall. |

I'm loving my weekend off! I haven't had a weekend off since I started working there. I really needed a break from everything. So I check my email like 10 minutes ago and saw that I had a email from my manager at work asking if I could work today because someone's mom died. Why on earth would you email me opposed to calling me? They wanted me to come in at 10AM and they emailed me at 9AM and I didn't see it until 2PM. Their communication skills suck!
My stomach is flipping today. I went for like two days without any pain since I started the Wellburtin.
I have a lot to accomplish this week
-I have to revise my paper that is due tomorrow afternoon
-I have to plan my final presentation that is due in two weeks
-I need to finish two of my computer assignments that I'm lost on so I need to meet with the prof
-I have to study for two exams
At least I only have a few weeks left of school. |

Last week I tried Zumba for the first time and I really liked it. I felt so uncoordinated though which I thought was sad after dancing for years. I'm more coordinated in a ballet class then a Zumba class? I went with my new friend K because she is trying to lose some baby weight. I don't think she liked it because the class was geared towards middle aged women and oldies. The studio offers so many class for only $35 a month. They have Zumba, Spinning, Sculpting, Cardio Strip, and more. K wants to go to the studio where my ex-best friend teaches. I don't have a problem with my old friend but I don't want to be taught by her.
I only have one week of school left until finals!! |
