Week 1 is Over!

*Phew* I thought the first week of second semester would NEVER end. But it did! Wahoo!!!!

Life at this point in time is very calm. I am happy to report that I have started working out again, and even though it has only been a week so far, I am pretty optimistic. I just have to stay on this track and keep going with this mindset. I don't like to think of it as a "diet" per se, but rather as a way of changing my life for the better (oooh sounds epic!!). I have learned the ultimate secret to losing weight -- PATIENCE. That always seems to be the number one HARDEST thing to achieve or understand while on a diet, but right now I am confident that I can lose some amount of weight this semester. My goal is to lose a lot of weight before I go to Japan. This leaves me almost an 8-month window. Nice.

So, here I sit, analyzing poetry for class and counting down the minutes until I can go to bed. I had just one of the most amazing sugar-free puddings in the world. I hope things can remain this calm at LEAST until the end of the semester. I am doing my best until the very end! Then I can finally take a vacation from this place and go to where my heart is calling me - Japan.
