Survivor

This show is seriously so awesome. Just living in the middle of nowhere on some random island for 39 days while you outplay 19 other people for a million dollars. There's actually so much strategy behind the game. Do you play the role of the jerk/asshole and just muscle your way through, or do you play the good guy who keep his word throughout the game staying true to your alliances, or do you manipulate your way to the finals, backstabbing and deceiving everyone. The show is so full of surprises and suspense. On top of all the strategy, there are the physical aspects of the game, like the challenges and, well, surviving.

It's such an awesome idea. I wish that I could go on the show, just to experience it. I wouldn't really care if I won the money or not (although winning wouldn't be so bad). I just want to see what it's like to live balls to the wall man vs nature. Only problem is that I hate coconuts...

Self Improvement

For the past two months, I've been on a quest to improve myself physically, spiritually, and mentally. I've done pretty well with the physical aspect, reaching 155 pounds this week (total weight loss: about 15 pounds). I honestly thought that this would be the hardest part, but it was surprisingly simple: don't eat after 10, eat a little bit but eat often, stick to the workout plan.

Now that I'm getting closer to my target weight, I feel that I should start focusing on the rest of my self improvement. Spiritually, I've been in a rut for a while. The 40 day ministry fast has helped, but entering this final week, I feel that I should have spent way more time with God. I have so much time, yet spend so little of it reading the Bible or praying. For now, it's spiritual self improvement fail.

As for the mental/emotional/personality aspect, I don't think I've done that much better. I'd say that I'm kind of a jerk, so the biggest thing that I've been trying to do is be nicer to people. For some reason, it's been one of the hardest things to do.

The one thing that keeps me going/motivated is the feeling of success when I take the right step towards improving myself, whether it's losing another pound, successfully doing a qt/spend some time praying, or catching myself from doing a jerk move. It gives me this jolt of excitement and hope that I'm not too far from becoming the person I want to be.

A very random post

I just woke up from a nap, and I feel awesome(say awesome like Barney from HIMYM would say it)!

Took my stats midterm today. Whoever told me stats was easy is a liar. I personally think that stat is pretty tough. Why do I need to learn stats as a bio major anyways?

Cotton mouth and nap breath is gross. Together, they're even grosser.

All my friends are getting girlfriends, and I'm single. Blessing or a curse?

My roommate never wakes up to his alarm. His alarm pretty much wakes me up and I, in turn, as I leave the room for my class, turn on the lights to wake him up.

I'm currently weigh in at 156-157ish in the mornings. My post-workout weight is at about 153ish.

I'm still debating whether I should sign up for the marathon. Most of my buddies have signed up, but I'm still on the fence.

It's February. That means I turn the big two one in about two weeks, give or take a day.

I lied. I know exactly how long it is until my birthday. It's in 13 days. I can't wait. I want beeeeeeeeeeeer...

I'm currently rewatching the O.C. Yes, rewatching. That mean's I've seen it before. No homo.

I won a $50 gas card from playing flaming finger. It was epic.
