Are you kidding Nat? A measly 3 pound loss for the month of November. I can do better. No it wasn't an easy month, but I'm so over it and ready to move forward. I'm just ready to attack this thing head on, and not bullshit myself into hindering progress.

Yesterday in fitness class everyone got weighed in public. ..ugh.. and whatmore the scale went beserk on me I have no idea why, but when I stepped on it it read 246 or something weird like that. The second time I stepped on it one minute later, it said 267 so. So the teacher has me written in at something, I don't know what. Everyone else got weighed accurately. I guess the lucky people on my team are going to win the weight loss competition because we're using a more accurate scale the last day of class.

this week I was interviewed in Spanish which in retrospect was cool. Beforehand I was sweating it like crazy, but now I'm just impressed that I know more Spanish than I think I know. I really can't wait for winter break to come so I can practice more Spanish on livemocha.com hopefully make some native Spanish speaking friends in other countries :D we can talk to each other on headsets and there are translator programs installed in their message windows. If you want to practice or learn another language I highly recommend this site.

I'm officially a size 18! Well a Lane bryant 18 anyway. To be out of the 20's in jean sizes, it's just a great feeling. I'm too poor/cheap to buy new pants right now though, so I will continue to wear my bigger pants until they become ridiculously large. It's a new place, and I also feel afraid to spend money on new pants because then I have to stay that size (or lower) or I would have wasted my money.

:]

I ran a red light

Nothing bad happened. I can't believe I ran a red light today, and it certainly was a wake-up call for me. I've never in my 2 years of driving made a mistake like that. I wasn't scared while it happened but afterward is when the adrenaline began running through me and I was just like... HOLY SHIT WHAT DID I JUST DO?? I turned off the radio and just started thinking about it. I could have hurt someone or myself, or lost my transportation altogether to school, appointments, etc. Its just scary how easy it is to become distracted!! I consider myself a decent driver and it happened to me!

I just got back from a fancy 4 course meal, where we were being taught proper luncheon etiquette. At my table we were just having a good time and goofing off, but I did learn things! You know how it is when you are dining with a person whom you've got to be on your best behavior with, you can't just stuff your face :P It was geared towards an interview or business meeting setting.

ughh ok exercise. Something I really didn't feel like writing about. Yesterday I went on the bike for about an hour, because I didn't feel like getting on the treadmill. Today I haven't gone to the gym because the election interfered with my morning schedule, and, I kid you not, every second of today is already scheduled until I go to sleep. I love it that way. Tomorrow I'm back on the regular week schedule.

Not much to write about, I'm just chilling in school in this new area with computers that I just discovered. Its tucked away in the corner of the library, it's own room, with a wall-long view of a mountain and all the multicolored trees on it. A pigeon is pearched on the ledge of the gigantic window. Wait a minute... come to think of it, I never see pigeons around here! All the pigeons I ever see are in New York, and I wonder how this scoundrel found his way to Northampton? He was probably a stowaway inside a truck fileld with.. oh I don't know, breads? Now some person is blocking my view of the pigeon ...damnit... so I'm going to go move my car.
