I woke up from some strange dreams today, involving my ex boyfriend's grandmother. Weird.
Eventually I dragged myself out of bed, showered first thing, and made lunch.
Shrimp spring rolls, with sweet Thai chili sauce. That is what I had for lunch. I am in love. I wish I could make them in my dorm room, but they require an oven for the proper texture. :(
I did the dishes because they started to gross me out, and then lazed around. Jake came over for a bit before work, and we basically just snuggled on the couch watching Kitchen Nightmares. He had to leave around 3, though. :(
After he left, my emotional and mental limits had been hit. I broke down from stress and anger and everything. Between mom yelling at me, me being uncoordinated, and just general blah-ness, I hit a few sobbing breakdowns throughout the afternoon/evening. I eventually calmed down, but to the point where I could still feel the dried tears on my cheeks, and the conscious effort to breathe deeply and relax.
I got everything packed into bins. It was just easier to use three bins instead of cramming everything into the giant bag, and taking a bin. I think it worked out nicely.
Mom made stuffed peppers for dinner, and with the smells that were wafting through the house all evening, I was rather excited about them. However, I've been having issues with the way tomatoes taste lately. This really upsets me, because I love tomatoes... they just taste... funny, lately. That's the only way I can describe it, really. They taste like the way a lake smells. I'm not fond of it. I don't understand why they taste that way, but I'm hoping its only temporary because I'm still getting over a cold, or because maybe they aren't in season, so they're weird, I don't know, this is a run-on sentence, most of my sentences are run on sentences, but oh well, fuck you. Anyways, the tomato sauce in the peppers just didn't sit right with me, so I stopped eating quite early through. Surprisingly, my mother accepted the fact that I didn't like how they tasted tonight, and was okay with me having a bowl of Cherrios and strawberries. After those, I was quite full and content.
UGH, NIGHTWATCH.
There's a system that our school has called "nightwatch", meant to prevent people who aren't supposed to be in the residence buildings from getting in. Someone sits at a desk just inside the door, and swipes ID cards, and if you aren't supposed to be in the building, you have to have someone sign you in. The sign in process is pretty long, and annoying, since its handwritten, instead of computer done. The nightwatch system used to start at 11pm, according to the signs that are posted in my hall. However, they now start at fucking 8pm. If you come in the doors after 8pm, you either have to swipe your card, or be signed in by a resident.
Now, I had to wait a while for move-in day today, as my father was busy working, and couldn't take me until after dinner. That was fine. However, we arrived at around 8:10pm. Nightwatch had begun.
I asked the guy if I could just have my dad come up with me to help me put stuff into my room. He said, no, he'd have to be signed in to go any further than the desk. Fine, whatever. I took what I had in my hands upstairs, came back down, and took the bins from him. I rushed to empty everything into a huge pile on my bed, and then went to take the bins back downstairs. I did so, said goodbye to my father, and, as a decent human with manners, opened and held the door for my father to get out with the dolly. I took not even two steps out that door, continued to touch the door, and yet, when I came back in, the guy who had signed me in not even 10 minutes ago, argued that I needed to swipe my ID again. Which, of course, was in my room. He threw a fit, and wrote me up for a violation. I argued that this was stupid, that I didn't even leave the building. He rolled his eyes and said "Fine. If you come down and bring me your ID in the next five minutes, I'll void the violation." I did so, but was NOT happy about it.
I was pretty pissed about that, and it almost caused another breakdown for today, but I held back.
I unpacked, showered, and now here I am.
Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream Chips, and Strawberry Orange Sunny D are my best buds right now. They are satisfying my late night hunger. I better get the junk in now.
Tomorrow, after classes, I'm going to Meijer, where I will officially be starting the "Special K Challenge". I am adamant about losing some weight this year, and maintaining it. The special K challenge seems the safest to me, and the most delicious. A lot of the Kellog's "K" brand, I quite enjoy the taste of. What better way is there to lose weight than by eating food that you like the taste of? I'm sure I'll eventually get sick of it, but hey. Its a healthy start!
My biggest problem with the Special K Challenge, is that even though I selected the "On the Go" plan, its still suggesting that I make certain meals for dinner. Unfortunately, being in the dorm room, I can't make these delicious looking dishes from scratch, and a box meal from the store would probably not have the same nutritional values that their recipies would. So, my plan is to try and find something suitable at the dining hall or dinner that night, and just not eat too much.
So tomorrow, I have quite the shopping list, as Jake is taking me out to Meijer to get some groceries and necessities.
- Special K foods
- Apples
- Strawberries
- Dried fruits
- Carrots
- Nonfat chocolate milk
- Butter
- Cheddar Goldfish
- Febreeze
- Razor Blades?
- A few frozen meals
- Popcorn?
- A whole bunch of other delicious yummy stuff
I can't wait for tomorrow's classes to be over. I have Keyboard at 8:40am, Wind Symphony at 12pm, and Writing at 2:40pm. Then, shopping. Whee.
In between one of those classes, I need to head over to the OC and get my books from the bookstore. :(
Ah, well. I'm tired. So I think I'm going to pop into bed and maybe read, or something.
Nighty night!

P.S. I've been pretty good about remembering this so far!
