Day 1 of this new chapter.

I wonder how many posts I have started like this,

today is the first day of a new chapter of my life.
but this time, I really mean it.

Chris and I broke up after 11 months of dating. My choice. After my mom's death I decided I needed some time to myself to re-evalute my life and what makes me happy. I figured this would be faster than journaling and I often have the desire to type for long periods of time so I might as well start up my blog again.

Day 1 of my new self

Today I was up early, 4:45am to be exact, to catch a train back to Normal. I have already moved all my stuff into my apartment, but I don't have a parking space so I had to drive my car to and from Normal so that I could unload my stuff and still get to Normal in time. The train is currently stopped in Joliet. There is a cute boy sitting across the aisle from me. He is nice to look at, though I know I look disgusting since I haven't showered in 2 days. I also hear the sound of children running and playing, as well as smelling the savory scent of pepperoni pizza. Someone must have gotten something from the lounge car. The train is supposed to arrive in Normal in 1 hour. Right now, I don't think that will happen. I do hope that it gets in sooner rather than later. I have my APL training at 11 and I would like to eat something before I go. Yes, I did have breakfast, but that was a 5am! I'm bound to be hungry again by then.

In the meantime, I shall talk about my goals for the next semester

-get myself out of Honors probation
- rejoin Food Recovery Network
- do well in my classes (maybe audit a spanish class?)
- get super fit. like workout 3-4 days a week. I have to make up for the exercise I was getting from dance class
- spend more time with my roommates and my friends
- flirt a little (c'mon guys. its me. I can't not flirt. I just won't make any commitments as of now)


Here is what I plan to do with the rest of my day:

finish up this train ride
eat (hopefully)
go to APL student manager training for like 6 hours (I better get paid for training)
Have ice cream with Aaron
Hang out with Zabes

P.s. This cute boy is very very cute... ;)
