Alright! I'm posting a new and exciting blog for you to feast your eyes on.
So January is well underway, along with my journey to graduating in May. Diff eq's is going much better than it was before, in so many ways. The motivational speaker the professor isn't a huge dickhead. He doesn't ever actually show us anything, but that's ok, because at a 9am class, what does he really expect us to absorb? Good man. He basically just goes into rants like "hey, Einstein wasn't that smart but he invented stuff anyways." I just hope his tests aren't that bad, and he'll pass me. That's all I truly care about. The PLA has a heavy indian accent, but he's very nice and understanding. Big plus. My project group has 4 members alltogether, thanks to some wording technicalities that I pointed out (should have only been 3). Splendid. I even did the homework almost all by myself! Oh. Aren't we proud?
This FE exam review course is really kicking my ass, however. I had no idea it was going to be this intensive. I won't go into the exact details, but 3 hours each monday on some mundane engineering concept is pure hell. And this course only covers topics on the morning part of the FE exam. Awesome... that means I have to separately study for the Civil Engineering afternoon section. Let me tell you, there's a reason why most CE positions want you to be EIT certified... if you can pass this test, you're obviously not retarded.
So, I gave in and joined a gym. Gold's Gym in Worcester is actually a really nice gym... I was shocked. I thought everybody would be running around in spandex, shooting up steriods, passing the AIDS virus around freely, and pumping iron... simultaneously. I must admit, I was wrong. They even have enough shiny new machines for everybody to use! In addition, they're only $35 a month, with a $6 down payment. Definitely worth it, because the WPI gym is so miserably sub-par. The people at the WPI gym are also sub-par, as opposed to Gold's... which, for an establishment in Worcester... is surprisingly not trashy.
But anyways, speaking of the gym, I had my second free personal-training session tonight. She was having me do all this crazy shit on those exercise balls... as she referred to it, stability training. Let me tell you, I plan on being ripped in like, a month. Well maybe not. But, I swear, that shit is crazy.
Can you tell that I'm proud of myself with this getting in shape thing? Because I am. And I'm truly happy that I'm finally able to have the time to do things like this to better myself. Of course my life is still filled with frustration and stress, but not so much about my own body and self-esteem anymore. I even put myself on a diet of 1400-1600 calories per day, because I'm tired of having a beer gut. I'm such a loser, I log everything I ingest now. It's funny, I used to tease my mom for doing that... I am getting old. =/
So, other than the not fun stuff, I guess I'm doing alright. I'm always busy, which is good because then I can never complain about being bored. My sleep schedule is slowly converging to normal, and my job is still paying me for doing mundane reading assignments. Matt and I are going on 6 months in February, and I couldn't be happier, even though I only get to see him on the weekends. But that's ok, because he is a beautiful man.
So, I was talking to my old roommate Matt about maybe doing some sort of trip this year. I realized that I've been in the general vicinity of Massachusetts for probably about 3 years now (only leaving it to go to Portsmouth, NH every few weeks and Providence a few times). It's really depressing... and I think it's time I finally went somewhere. I don't care if I go to Missouri to look at some cows and shop at a Store24 that's only open till 7... I have to get out of Massachusetts. Any takers on a planned road trip? :)
Ok I suppose that's all for now... I think I've covered all the bases. Oh! Speaking of which, I heard that Theo Epstein is back with the Red Sox. This year might not suck so bad after all...

Whoa. An update ...
I cut my hair off - they cut off 12 inches for me to donate to Locks of Love. Now it looks like this. Everybody's been telling me that it looks cute, and I have no choice but to believe them. Especially since it is. :D
With the new hairstyle begins a metamorphasis from the old Sara to the new Sara. By this, I mean that I'm gonna try to stop being such a grub all the time. I'm really gonna get in shape (been thinking about paying for a gym membership...), and I'll probably even buy some clothes that are designed for 2006, rather than some arbitrary plain era where comfort was twice as important as style.
School starts up again in a few days, I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about that. I'm only taking diff eq's... but since everybody fails it atleast once, I think it's safe to say that I'm incredibly worried about passing it. I just have to get through that, and then some stupid biology class in D term... and then I'm all set to graduate. In the meantime, I'm taking this review course for the FE exam in April. That (plus the exam itself) will put me about $600 in the hole, not including purchasing review books. I wish I knew what it was like to actually have money... That's fine though, my interest rates aren't that high. =/
I've become well-versed in the ways of venting... This shouldn't be called my blog space... it should be my vent space. Perhaps I'll work on that.
