First T1

I know that a lot of American girls my age have had this happen to them tens or hundreds of times already, but as I am just now being put in the "real world", this is my very first time. I was just asked out on a date.
I was on Facebook checking all my updates when I saw that there was a private message for me. I clicked on it thinking, "Oh this is probably from so-and-so." It was not from that person (who is female, by the way). It was from a guy I have only seen a couple of times at school and who is planning to attend next semester. The message was short, simple, and straightforward; he wanted to take me to dinner while I was on Christmas break. I feel bad for the guy, because right now my gut reaction to anyone, no matter who they are, is "No." I don't think I'm ready to be thinking about marriage, and the only reason I would go out with a guy is if I had any inclination to consider marrying him. In addition to that, I need to focus on school and God. Hopefully, he won't be too upset about it.
Note: It's unfortunate that this one should be entitled, "T1," because that's the nickname of a rough, but dear to my heart, Toyota. My dad described it as not being a very good car, but a great tractor. I never drove it, but BOY was it fun to ride in... as long as I didn't have a stomach ache.

First S1

For the very first time in my life, I tried sushi. Some acquaintances from school discovered that I'd never had sushi before, and insisted that I was missing out. They, desiring sushi for themselves anyway, bought some at the nearest grocery store. I went ahead and tried some. It didn't taste at all like I expected it too. It seems to mainly consist of rice, seaweed, and whatever tiny amount of tasteless seafood can be squeezed into the center. I was also made to try some cheap wasabi. It tasted like grass goo. I don't think I'll be having cheap wasabi again, but I decided that I do like sushi. However, even the cheap sushi is rather expensive, so I won't be adding it to my regular diet.

I've been trying out the spinach idea, and have discovered that it's not the best plan. Spinach, it seems, is not very filling, and so I am forced to eat a sandwich at the cafe. Oh well. At least I'm getting more greens in. :)

I found a way to resolve my diet predicament. Because it has been rather expensive for me to buy lunch at the cafeteria, I am replacing the unhealthy sandwiches with store-bought baby spinach. It is A LOT cheaper. In order to make sure that the rest of my family did not get to my spinach, I put masking tape on the container and wrote on it, "You eat this, I shoot you." I know that this sounds rather selfish, but otherwise my mother will very likely try to use my spinach for other purposes. MY spinach!
Now that I have greens at my disposal, I can get in my much-needed nutrition during lunch. Perhaps this strange diet will actually work.

Ok, so my made up diet didn't work out. I have to buy my lunch at school, and they pretty much have meat, meat, meat, and more meat. On top of that, my mom usually sticks some meat into out supper, so I was finding it pretty much impossible to have meat only once a day. At least I know that the diet wasn't really working very well.

First R1

I'm on my very first "fall break". It seems rather random to me, but I'm going to try to enjoy it as much as I can. I still have work, but I get some free time around it. Yes, college life is the good life... so far.

First Q1

I went out incognito just for the fun of it. As I mentioned in my last post, I inadvertently bought a blond wig while waiting to see if I would get an allergic reaction to my vaccination. Being very bored one day, I put on the wig, my dress suit, and high heels and went to Taco Bell. No one seemed to notice... except my neighbor, who saw me go outside the house. It's such fun going about in a disguise. However, I won't be doing it again for some time.
