Need to Start working out

Ever since I started college I've been meaning to go to the gym more. We have a great workout center on campus. I was going for like the first month or so, but then I just stop going. I've been making up excuse after excuse why I can't or don't have the time to go anymore. I have started to gain a little weight so I know that I really do need to start going again. It doesn't help either that I don't really eat properly or like I should. I drink way too many sodas, which I know is bascially just liquid candy,because of all the sugar it has in it. I've started to take notice more in what I eat now, and I'm trying to eat right now. I said I'm trying too at least. I probably shouldn't be having cake after every meal that I have, but I love cake..who doesn't. Maybe instead of having pizza I could get a salad instead. It sure is a lot nutritious for me to eat. Next I'm going to have to start eating healthy anyway because I'm competing for the Air Force Scholorship and we have to be in top shape for that. I think as well if they had better food there then I would eat healthier. I think exercising more though would make me feel better ,because I have be feeling kinda slugish lately and eating more healthy does improve your overall quality of like. Also since I took my Nutrition 362 class I have been more interested into what goes into my body and I want to make my body more healthy.

I have bad Anxiety

When it comes to driving or riding in a car I must admit that I do have some issues. It all started since this past summer when I got in a bad car accident. I was driving home from work and it was raining and I guess I was driving a little too fast going over the bridge and my car started to spin out of control. Luckly I was wearing my seatbelt so I only received a minor injury in the accident. Some had stopped and helped me and then the police and ambulane and police came. I was taken to the hospital as a precaution since I had a head injury. After all of that, I now get very caustious and nervous when I'm in a car. I feel that night replay in my head ever time I get on the road. I never want that to ever happen to me again, that was the most scariest thing to ever happen to me. I thought I was going to go off the bridge, luckly when I had the accident there were cement walls on either side of me to protect from going off. I think that this a lesson to everyone that accidents can happen at any moment, so you always have to be aware of your surroundings. Hopefully I'll get over my anxiety and learn to calm down, because there's no way I can continue to drive a car when I'm that tense. I just have to trust my driving abilities and the people around to be cautious.

They need better food

The food here at USM is pretty good. It was really good though the first couple of weeks. We would be in there practically every couple of hours. Then for some reason they stopped making good food. Now they just have basically the same food as always, like pizza, baked chiked and potatos. Then every once in a while they'll throw in something different. I've started not to each there much often now. My friends and I now go over to Hillcrest and get something to eat, because the food is definitely better. We know its a long walk but it's worth it when you get there. Normally my friends and I just drive there, so luckily we dont have to walk. I hope they get a better menu,because that food really is getting old. They need a better variety and more kinds of different foods. The food was getting so old for me that I started just going to Quiznos and Seymour's a lot. I shouldn't be spending my money over there but I do anyway,because I don't want to have pizza and chicken anymore. Hopefully next semester they'll start off the with having good food again. You know since they'll have new students transfering and they have to make a good impression on there cafe. Sure enough though after a couple of weeks they'll get back into the same old food that they've always have had. I guess I'll be going to Hillcrest for the rest of year. Hope they change up the menu soon.

I'm so cold..no im too hot

This thermostat situation is getting just ridiculous now. Sometimes its hot then its cold. There's nights when its freezing and I can't even sleep at night because the temperature gets so cold. I have to wear a jacket or a hoodie all the time. Then sometimes the A.C unit doesnt work and its unbearably hot as well..its like it goes from one exteme to the next. It really does get uncomfortabe for us and its not a good atmosphere. I want to open up the window to get some fresh air in when it gets really hot. I know that I can because the RA will get on to me for it. The RA needs to talk to the maintence people and get them to fix it. The maintence people are always up here trying to fool with something when they need to fix the biggest problem that we have. I try to tell them that its broken but they still haven't tried to fix it for us. The school needs to shell out some money and go ahead and fix the problem. It would be greatly apprieciated by us. We have tried to tell people about the problem we have and I've told the RA and other people about the problem but no one seems to be doing anything about. Hopefully something will get done and we can finally get some relief in our dorm. I mean we pay all this money for the dorm, the least they could do is give us the basic necessity that people need today.

Hold on He's not president yet

Ever since Obama was elected president, people have been trying to blame him now for the countries problem. They need to talk the actual president who got them in this mess in the first place. Its like everyone is just waiting for him to mess up or something. There ready to blame him real quick when something goes wrong . Why didn't the republicans ever put any blame on their own president. They never went to push and asked him why he lied about their being "weapons of mass-destruction" in Iraq. You know why, because they didn't want to admit they were wrong about everything. When we went into this war, it was based on lies. How do you expect to win a war, when you lie about why were even going to war with a country. We then come to find out that Iraq wasn't even part of 9/11, so when you get involved in a war that was a lie from the start you start to question somethings. Obama is going to do great things, but give him chance first to get his team of advisors together so he can help the country when he's sworn in January. I know there will be a lot of challenges he will have to face. Thats why it will take everybody getting involved to make a change in this country. I know we can do it if we work together and with that there will come a difference. Obama will rise to the challenge and prove to everybody why he as the people's choice in making our country a better nation for year to come.

Hooray for obama!

I am so happy and elated to see obama win. This is so great for our country. Barrack Obama will bring so much change and opportunity to the people. I never would have thought back four years ago that I would be writing this to you right now, but it seems that our country can come together through our differences and really make change happen. When Obama won that night it was something I would always remember and never forget. I will never forget where I was when I first heard that he had won. I was in my dorm room with my roommate and some friends when we saw it on CNN. The news had just broke that Obama had been elected our new president. I was overcome with joy and it seemed so surreal to me to think that this could actually happen in our country. After so much has happened with people trying to tare him down, for trying to bring hope to the nation. He face much critism but he rose above it and came out victorious in the end. I want everyone to know that even though he won it wasn't just based on the color of his skin. We all know that Obama is black and WHITE, so I don't see why people keep saying black people voted for him only because he was black..he is white to you know. No matter what anyone says, the people spoke and had their voice heard and now we have a great president-elect ready to take office in January.

This Semester

This semester has been so for me. I've meet so many cool people and done so many exciting things. The friends that I have made are the ones I know I will have for a long time. The first week was pretty scary for me since I didnt really know anyone,but now since I've been here for a whole semester I now know that college can be a fun experience for me. I can't wait for what the next semester will bring for me. I'm taking alot of more hours so I know I'll be busy for the most part. Also competing for that Airforce Scholarship will be a challenge for me as well. I hope I get it. It would be so great for me and my family If I did. I know one thing for sure is I'm not going to be buying all those books this time, like I did last time. I hardly even used any of them. I was so mad when I knew that I had wasted all my money on those books. I could have had a bigger refund checke end of the semesters..you know I need the money. Going through this first semester of college has really opened my eyes to alot of things. I have gained knowledge as well as wisedom. I have been through somethings I will never go through again and I now know what and what not to do in certain situations. I'm glad to have met the people I have and will continue on to make further great memories here at USM.
