When regularity goes out the window

Ever since my 21st birthday, I feel like all normality in my life has been side-stepped by my need to abuse my adult privileges. That's a shot of my fridge in early December. Right now all that's in my fridge is half a bottle of margarita mix, three bottles of wine, four beers, a can of diet pepsi, some condiments, a grapefruit, some clementines, and 8 eggs. This isn't healthy. Not healthy for my body and definitely not healthy for my mind. What the hell happened? I can pin point a few things that have led to this break down of my normality. 1) I got sick and wasn't going to class. 2) I got a social life and decided to party every weekend. 3) I went home for break. And, 4) It's now two weeks until class starts again and I don't even know what day of the week it is because I rely on school to keep me on track. I have no schedule. Sure, I have work. But work is a "come in when you can and work a few hours" kind of thing. I gained twenty pounds since I turned 21. Five of that is from negligence, eight from the shit-headed nurse practitioner taking me off my thyroid, and seven from alcohol consumption. This has to stop. Especially since I lost ten pounds before my birthday. The lack of thyroid is making me inactive. The lack of school is keeping me in my house. The rain and winds are keeping me from walking anywhere. I fucking hate winter.

I have to fix this before it all gets worse. I have to get my life back in order. Fuck New Year resolutions, this is serious, not some superficial promise you make to yourself year after year. So I've devised a plan. Because, I'm all about plans really. I shall be asleep by ten tonight. I know this because I took a sleeping pill twenty minutes ago and I can already feel it kicking in. I shall wake up at 6am. I shall work out to that stupid dancing with the stars dvd, do some core exercises, shower, clean, use the internet for less than an hour, and then go into work at 11am. I will do this pretty much every day until school starts and I have to adjust my schedule. Good plan.

Speaking of plans. Spring break is 74 days away. I have plans. For the first time in years, I'm going somewhere. First I will go to Denmark to be reunited with mah poon (aka my best friend Holly) where we will drink (yeah, yeah, yeah, after all I wrote above, I go ahead and allow myself to do it anyways) make out with sexy Danish men and do crazy shit only we do together!! I miss her so much and this will be my first time off the North American continent, so GO ME! Then I shall fly back to the states to see Elizabeth. And we shall go to DC!!! OMG SO EXCITED! I've been to DC once before, but this is going to be so much better because Sara will be there and we'll be our geeky selves. Going to all the Smithsonian museums, the National Mall (no, not a mall, it's where the monuments and memorials are), to the National Archives, and then on the way back to PA we're going to Gettysburg! Oh how I love road trips. Then it's back here for school the next day. Now how do I make up my Friday lab on the 21st of March.....
