My STUPID sister/other stuff
Aug. 10th, 2011 03:10 pm( Family drama )
Anyway. Better things.
My hair is done. I feel SO much better. Also got some tips on taking care of it while I'm at school, so hopefully things will go well. Roger says it's coming along, especially in the middle, just as I thought it was. That's going to lock first. The top of my head and the very bottom in the back are less happy with the process, but whatever. My hair's getting so long. :D
My roommate is from Beijing (did I mention that already?) and is also a studio art major, so that's awesome. I went from going, "Beijing? WTF?" to, "Ohhhh." I e-mailed her a couple days ago, and she responded. We'll see each other when I get there on the 20th. She'll actually be there on the 19th for the international student orientation. Her name's Haining, but she said I could call her Emma. I'm going to ask when I meet her which she prefers; I have no problem calling her by her actual name if that's what she really wants.
I'm moving in in ten days. The butterflies are making a nice home in my gut, a mixture of anxiety and excitement. I have a newly-fixed-up bike to play around with when I get there. (Turns out it didn't need much fixing, despite sitting in the basement for god knows how long, neglected... I think I'd have ridden it more had it not been in the basement. I hate using the bilko door. Lots of creepy crawlies back there, and it's awkward carrying the bike up the steep stairs.) I'm getting it into my head now that I will be more active, I will get into the gym as much as I can, and I will try to make better dietary choices and broaden my horizons a bit. I want to lose some weight. I don't care if I only lose five pounds the whole semester; it'll be a start. The last time I did that, I believe, was the first weekend I was on Cymbalta... and that's because I couldn't bring myself to eat. I'm celebrating this change of pace with brand-new workout clothes.
Juniata got the payment that secures my health insurance (even though I don't think it's showing as cleared yet at the bank--it's showing up on my bill though, and says it was received on the 8th), I made the second tuition payment, and I'm waiting for either a notice through the mail or Judy to get back to me, hopefully soon, about the status of my claim. I'm hanging out with Charlie on Friday. I'm probably visiting work tomorrow.
Things are good. Aside from the sister thing. But maybe even that will turn out okay. Here's hoping.
