Hey Hey Hey~~~~~~

I think it's time to give my adoring fans (*coughcoughnobody*) an update as to what's going on in the life of one Ms. Cecelia Lisinski.

For one thing, I have restarted my game of Sims 2. Meaning, of course, that I am happily married to Sean Bean. Woohoo! I also restarted Majora's Mask (again.....even though I beat it 2 weeks ago. Oh well. I love that game).

The days here are going by pretty slowly if I do say so myself. I got all of my stuff done for Nanzan (well....most of it). The only things I have left to do are get my student visa and make flight reservations. Speaking of Japan, however...

I GOT THE BRIDGING SCHOLARSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This scholarship is one of the most competitive in the country and hundreds fight for it but I got it! And so did Joani!! !YAYAYAY! It's for $4000. Which means now I have $5000 in scholarship money for a program that costs upwards of $32000. Now I only have to pay $28000, which is about what my family had originally been paying for Witt. I managed to even out the price in the end. Plus we have loans. What sucks is that I don't get to keep my Wittenberg scholarship (which would DEFINATELY have helped if Wittenberg didn't have such a cheap outlook on life). Damn you Wittenberg! Oh well. 3 months from today I will be on the plane to Japan!!!! My life's dream is coming true!!

Greg is coming to visit June 21 - 29. I am so so so so so so excited!!! I miss him a lot. Being away from him has been very hard. Also, my parents are letting me go visit him in July. We were talking about how we could go to Philadelphia together or Washington DC. I think Philadelphia is more of a likely place to go, though. To go Washington DC again is just wishful thinking on my part. We'll see what happens. ALSO, we have been discussing going to Gettysburg which means I can see Joani one last time before we are shipped off to Japanland. And Reen too, hopefully! Megan needs to go to the east coast too so we can have a full-fledged reunion! That would be amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now for a diet update. Ladies and Gentlemen I am happy to annunce that I, CL, have lost 15 pounds since February 2009. I have lost a jeans size and my old clothes fit me pretty well again (except for the boob factor....some shirts are history cuz of my.....you know....). Anyway, with any luck I will reach my goal (losing 10 more pounds) by the end of the summer before leaving for Japan. I feel like my old self again. I think it has everything to do with that exercise class I took last semester. So, for everyone who feels like they can't do it, JUST TALK TO ME!! I can inspire you and talk you through the weight loss process. Remember, don't think of it like a diet (because diets never work), just think about it as adding exercise and better foods to your normal routine. Never restrict yourself! That just makes your body want more (and that's why diets fail).

As for a job.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Let's not talk about that.

Alright, I'm off to play MM. Hope you enjoyed reading this!

I am home for the summer. And I miss Greg like crazy. :'(

I don't think I'm going to get a job this summer. I just don't care. I want to relax and be with my family/friends until I am shoved off to Japan. Let's see if that flies with my parents (100% doubtful).

Do Not Read This if you Can't Stand Whining

Emo post GO!!!

I have only a day and a half left with the man I love.

Every time I think about being away from him....even if it's more than a second....I just feel like bursting into tears. I love Greg so much. He has truly changed my perspective on a lot of things. He allowed me to trust men again. He gave me so much confidence over this past semester. He has turned me from a fairly bitter person into one who can love. He showed me that not all men are selfish assholes.

Maybe it's the way I feel when he wraps his arms around me and holds me. Maybe it's the way he kisses me. Maybe it's the way he reassures me that I can do or be anything. I can't see myself being without any of these things. I think this is someone I can see myself being with for a very very long time.

Anyway anyway anyway. Let's stop being emotional shall we? I am meeting his parents sometime later today. He already met my dad (and survived!!!). Now I sit here contemplating life and wishing Sunday won't come.

Can't time just stop?

It's so close.......I can taste freedom!!!

Today I have my linguistics exam. Tomorrrow Japanese. Then it's PARTY WEEK! Well....sort of.

Yesterday the gals and I went to Columbus for some shopping. I LOVE COLUMBUS!!!! The mall we went to had a couple stores that I bought some pretty nice shirts from (not too much color though -- it's in preperation for Japan and their colorless fashion, lol). I also bought flats from payless. SCORE!

I am currently getting over the most random cold ever. It's really only a half-assed one. I didn't think it was possible, but it really doesn't have the same potential as a real cold. I think that's the benefit of taking a vitamin every day. I think compared to 2-3 years ago, I am catching a significantly less amount of colds. And when I do catch them they only last for a day or 2. SO TAKE YOUR VITAMINS! Jk - I'm sure it's different for everyone.

All I can say? My creative writing class = terrible. I wish I had never taken it. Gah. Ask me if you want to hear horror stories.
