Friday
Well, the group presentation sucked. The foreign student snuck something in his slide about marketing old people through our target market of 18-24 year old internet users. Fucking idiot. Of course after that we were done.

The good news? I got a 103% on the midterm, and I intend to do just as well on the next exam. Plus, the next presentation I'll be with a new group, so we won't suck, which will be great. I'm pretty confident I'll get an A without even taking the final.

I can't wait to get my boots. I'm going to wear them with everything.

It looks like the sun might be making an appearance.

Tonight, we're meeting up with a bunch of my fellow MBA students to get a few drinks/dinner at this bar uptown. I'm thinking a Guinness and a grilled chicken sandwhich. I'm going to be super healthy all day until then.

Honestly, there's been way too much drinking lately. It seems every day that I'm upset about something...there's school, my mom, work, money, my weight, there's always something, and it seems I'm unable to cope with it without some unhealthy outlet, whether it be restricting, smoking, drinking or whatever. It's annoying. Still, I've been eating healthy, and I've been good enough with my food that I haven't gained from the drinks miraculously enough...I've lost five pounds! I just hope it's still gone when I check it in a few days.

I'm probably going to call my mom today again to see if she wants to get together. I'm hoping I can just leave a message. I hate fighting with her, but she always picks fights with me about some stupid thing or another. For whatever reason, I can't just "uh huh, uh huh, uh huh" at her. She gets under my skin when she says the retarded things that she says. How can she say my midterms don't count?? GAH! Why does she think we have money? How does she not understand that two students living on an income of about 30k before taxes in New York do not have TONS of disposable cash lying around? If I tell her that I saw a friend, she gets angry and jealous. I seriously think she writes it all down and keeps track. *Twitches* I can't deal with people who are clearly wrong thinking they're right and blaming me.

Good things: Today I myspaced a bunch of friends and people I haven't been in touch with lately. Always good to do. Gold star for me. I've also been making an effort to be more social...I helped to orchestrate the MBA get together, having people over for dinner last week, meeting my coworker for drinks. The ED thing is so...isolating. I've been making an effort to get together with people. It's good. AND, I did manage to get in an hour long walk outside on Halloween. It was great and did me alot of good. I think just getting outside and looking around and taking everything is a huge release for me. I felt so much better after that. I plan on doing the same thing at least once this weekend, and hopefully I'll get some yoga/pilates/weightlifting in too.

I'm working on the Annual Report for Gov Ops, the committee I work on with Cheryl. It's basically a sixty page summary of everything we did all year. In the back, we have tables with summaries of the bills that moved out of committee. I usually take the summary that we used in the committee bill memo, each one of which was edited by her...so you'd think that she'd be alright with every single summary, right? No! She keeps making these little, tiny, infinitessimal changes that don't even alter the meaning of the summary. I think she does it to drive me insane. Seriously.

At least it's Friday!
