Busy Bee

Well I started the internship on Monday.

Everything, thankfully, got worked out.

My first day primarily consisted of stuffing, labeling, and sealing envelopes.

It was much less glamorous than this.

The Plight of the Overexcited

I get my hopes up.

Often.

The littlest things get me insanely excited.

I start planning for things far in advance.

Researching every little detail, buying necessary items, telling everyone and their mother about whatever opportunity I've found for myself.

And then it all comes crashing down.

Every single damn time.

Thank you, lovelies

You ladies are the best good luck charm anyone could ever ask for.

Ever.

Guess who had an interview today?

And did awesome?

AND GOT THE INTERNSHIP?!

Crazy Anxiety Time

I have an interview.

Tomorrow.

Commence freak out.

Mad Men, you cruel temptress of television laziness

So I've been rather MIA lately. And this is why.

As many of you know, and as evidenced by my insane Banana Republic shopping sprees, I have an intense love for Mad Men (and all things marketing/advertising-related in general).

Cheating on my iPad 2....?

It's a thing of beauty.

Shiny, sleek, new.

Jaks likes it, too. Cat thinks he's people...

Shameless Apartment Porn - Pic Heavy

Labor Day went splendidly.

I met some girls that live in my apartment complex - one goes to the boyfriend's med school (we shall call her K) and the other is just like me (we shall call her J) - dating a guy that goes to the boyfriend's med school and taking online classes through her old university for the time being.

They invited me to go with them to the complex's pool yesterday and we ended up spending nearly 3 hours poolside - chatting, gossiping, relating stories about med school and med school boyfriends.

I worked on my tan and only got slightly burnt - mostly on my nose, a smidge on my chest and shoulders.

All in all, it was a nice change of pace.

Binge Monster on the Prowl!

Well I did go back to the gym the other day.

I managed to go a whole 5 minutes longer - but I did more incline on the treadmill and higher resistance on the stationary bike, so I ended up burning 245 calories instead of 175.

Unfortunately, my eating for the past few days has been totally out of control.

I managed to not take my medication on the worst day possible.

Back to Business

Well, now that I'm out of my self-pity, scalp-falling-off slump, it's back to business. (I switched from Vaseline to hydrocortisone cream and tried doing the dry washing that Kitty suggested and it worked much better. Thanks for all of the advice, ladies!)

I went to the gym a couple of days ago for the first time in about two months.

It was easy to tell that I hadn't been in a while.

I used to be able to do 30 minutes on the treadmill, 30 minutes on the stationary bike, and then do weight training.

When I went last time, I was barely able to do 15 minutes on the treadmill and 15 minutes on the stationary bike.

I was panting, soaked, and out of breath by the end of those 30 minutes.
