success event

So I was super stressing over my physiology test this week. My professor moved the test up 5 days and I was unprepared. She did a lecture that went over 2 whole chapters (endocrinology and reproductive system...a LOT of info), she did the female reproductive system in 5 minutes but we were expected to know everything, this was a tuesday and our test was thursday of the same week. I almost started crying in class. I was able to wait until I got to my car at least. So, I am not normally a crier. The whole way home I was just frustrated and mad and all I could think was that I wasn't going to get an A in my class and that I couldn't even eat. Once I got home I just cried and cried and cried and Lorne licked my face and tried to lick my eyeballs, he was very supportive. But then, I just got up, brushed myself off and started studying. I was still very frustrated and upset, but I studied anyways. So I took my test yesterday...and I think I got a low A or a high B on it (I only need an 86 to make an A in my class). I was elated afterwards. I had studied enough, or as much as a person can in 48 hours, I had done very well on my test, and I didn't go off my diet!!! I'll find out my grade on tuesday.

After my test yesterday I hung out with my bffs. Danielle made me tea (super supportive) while they had some beers. We got to just hang, relax and enjoy Danielle's new place. It made a perfect ending to my stress for the week cause I have the bestest friends.

So the moral of this story: hissy fits are better for me than eating when my emotions get out of control.

This one's for Penny: So every one has seen my unflattering vacation photo from Leakey this febuary. Here's a current picture (down almost 20 pounds) taken by one of my office mates (she didn't tell me when to smile):



it's hard to tell from the photo, but my clothes are looser and I've lost inches. And my back's not always at that crazy angle (pic 2)...
