All I ever want to do is eat a chocolate doughnut.

I like having a clean apartment to come home to.
I acknowledge that since I'm the one who likes it clean-it typically means that I'm the one doing all the cleaning.
I am too liberal with cleaning spray.
I always get a splitting headache after I run.
No, I'm not dehydrated.

There once was a time when I detested the idea of getting on a treadmill.
Now I can't imagine completing a work out without a run.

I sit in class and think about lesson plans.
I dream of being a writer.
I'm terrified to let my stories be read.
I dream of spending the Spring in Southern Ohio
Summer in Italy
Fall in New England
And Winter in Australia (which I will actually get to do)

My Wish List right now includes:
A Nikon D300S
A pair of TOMS wedges
A Holga camera
Instant film for my instant camera
A life with the one I love.

Feel free to donate to the cause of a college student working two jobs.

I am the worst updater ever.

So after this entry I'm going to change the way I write on here.
But for right now- get ready for a rant.

When my roommates go out for McDonald's at 10 o'clock at night, I make myself a fresh fruit smoothies with Activia yogurt as a base. When my friends go out and party, I stop by but leave before midnight and go home. When my roommates stay up all night, never getting enough sleep, I make sure to be asleep by midnight. I don't binge drink every night. I have never smoked a thing in my life. I have never done drugs. I can't remember the last french fry I had. So with all that in mind-I ask two questions. What's with the Crohn's disease? And WHAT is with my GUT?

The obvious answer is "life's not fair." But for once-why couldn't it be? How do I have two roommates who weigh maybe 115 pounds, eat whatever they want, have a terrible sleep schedule, and hardly ever workout. I bust my butt in the gym and pay attention to every single thing I eat (well I kind of have to) and I still struggle to keep a swim suit worthy figure.

I really did not see the whole auto-immune disease thing coming. Although apparently they are fairly common. I don't like thinking that I have to deal with this-forever. That at any moment for no reason at all, my body can decide that the tissue in my stomach is foreign and it will attack itself. I don't like the idea of being on a medication that can cause certain kinds of cancer if used for too long. I was really just fine with being normal.

But I guess normal is just a setting on a dishwasher.

Done complaining-I promise. Because there are some very cool things happening in my life. Number one being that I get to go to Australia, not just for 10 days (my typical foreign land stay) but for four months. FOUR.MONTHS. Oh! And while I'm there I don't have to take classes but instead get to practice doing what I love-TEACHING. Living in Australia and teaching in a high school. Sounds like perfection. If I can survive the next few months working two jobs to get me there and taking summer classes to keep me graduating on time then next Spring is going to be AWESOME.

AND I get to take pictures for my cousins wedding this summer. This is both awesome and terrifying.

I just want this semester to be OVER.
