Another week~

>Time just flies, I told myself I'd keep this blog updated but geez, a whole week rolled over.

- My mother has been better in the past week. Now that I have a mindset where I just do what my mother tells me to do regardless of whether its in my interests or not, I do it quickly. My mother loves to take opportunities to chat w/ me when I'm eating at the kitchen table. So when she starts, I just wolf down whatever I'm eating regardless whether its super hot just from the pot or not microwaved yet, and run into my room, close my doors and lock it. She went away to Jacksonville over the weekend for a church conference. A nice peaceful weekend for me indeed.

- I have over a year worth of magazine subscriptions from 7 different magazine names. I am now dedicating time from each day to finish at least 3 magazines a day. What I do is I have my laptop open w/ Word open and I document anything that I find interesting or worthy to keep for later access. I don't want to "skim" over the magazines. We forget so often, unless we take the time to re-read something to the point we just memorize it; even then we'd still forget. So I keep a log of all the information so later on I can re-read and go: "ohhh, back in 2009 it was so bad in Iceland people were unable to afford Big Macs leading to the closure of many of the Mc Donalds due to high import costs of cheese and other ingrediants resulting in a $7 Big Mac.) or "the U.S. gov. still makes the piece of garbage V-22 Osprey that each costs $110million dollars to make yet its highly unsafe, slow,as a giant duck in the sky for enemies, yet its still being made due to lobbyists for their own benefits."
                  -> One day, I will keep up with all the magazines I subscribe to! One day... I mean, realistically, if I read 3 magazines a day; they only come out once a month w/ the exception of "The Week," I should be able to catch up...

- I did not have to pick any hard classes this semester, yet I picked a ridiculously hard class called Fundamentals of Nutrition. I thought it would be a good challenge, a refresher for the anatomy & micro bio classes I finished semesters before. Another reason for choosing the class was to self discipline myself in focusing in studies. Unlike most people I hear who apparently study & be on Facebook at the same time, I go hardcore and study for hours & hours on. (Average 4hrs in a go when I'm in the zone.) I just don't see how I can be chatting with people & trying to memorize what hormones are released after a high calorie meal; & apply it to fat storage & sugar levels.

- I will be emptying out the fridge; as in, eating all the random things my mother bought which she has yet to touch. During the 11 months of living by myself the fridge was one of my priorities to keep organized and clean, w/out anything that I wouldn't need. Now its filled with random herbs (all over again) and things my mother just "saves." Before she comes back I'm going to eat everything and throw away the rest I deem "unworthy."

- Just got a phone call from my good friend Luis & Danny. Tonight, I will be making wings for dinner, then we head out to Channelside to celebrate Luis's 22nd birthday. He gets crazy sometimes, I hope he doesn't go overboard.....
