Playing catch up

Alright so I feel I should do a little bit of catch up about my past month or so.

I went to the Dominican for a week  with some friends and it was absolutely amazing. Basically just relaxed, spent time in the sun, played in the ocean, had a constant buzz since drinks were free and of course, ate just about everything. I also went banana boating, para-sailing, and water fall jumping which were so much fun.

That's me, day drunk and loving life after spending a good portion of the day at the aqua bar. Good trip overall.

During the trip I felt alright about myself. I mean the people I went with are far from out of shape so that made me self conscious at times, but I decided to let that go and just enjoy myself rather than stress about it. I know that have have made progress in the last year but I can't help but still feel the "before" picture.

My grades for this semester were really good. Finally a straight A student again, which I haven't been since high school , so I'm particularly excited about that.

As for my love life, not really much to say, not that there is ever much to say. I had been on a bit of a kick where I decided to just not get involved with anyone in any way and focus my attention elsewhere, like on school.

I had once upon a time been in a serious long term relationship that ended terribly so I decided to take time for myself, rather than do the typical rebound thing. That was about a year ago, well technically 7 months ago if you count a very stupid decision to be with him one last time. Either way that was the last guy I dated and slept with so its been awhile.

After that though during the later part of the summer I thought it would be a good idea to put myself out there but I ended up meeting one too many douchey jock frat boy types who just wanted sex so I again swore off men. Mostly because after being with someone I actually cared about I wasn't exactly down for a one night stand or casual hook-up.

Fast-forward to a brief girl crush that couldn't go anywhere because of a complicated situation and you're pretty much caught up.

Sorry for the long winded and rambling summary of my love life but it brings me to what I originally had to say. I have been single for awhile, I have not had sex in awhile, I have only been involving myself with people who only want something casual. I am stupid. As part of my periodic review of my life I have determined I am finally at a point where I am open to actually being involved with someone.

Now all I have to do it wait for him/her to show up. Too bad it doesn't work that way eh? In all seriousness though, I"m not desperate for or on need of a relationship, because I am perfectly fine on my own, but it'd be nice sometimes, or at the very least it would add a little excitement.

Anyways,

I decided to come back and write this because it keeps me somewhat sane. It also keeps me on track with my goals, which at the moment I need as I have been a little lazy with. I'm still trying to get down to 125.  I'll post an updated picture once I don't feel so disgusting. Wish me luck.
