i was a little girl alone in my little world

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee so much has been happening these past few days I cannot even handle it! Sunday was an “off day” for Adam and I, simply because everything we tried to do went absolutely wrong. I joked that we’d get some good karma this week because of our misfortunes. Maybe it’s the Asian wisdom in me, but I seem to be correct! First of all, you can’t tell from these pictures of my loose top & puffy skirt, but my weight loss progress is coming along very nicely. The last time I measured (I think a few weeks ago?) I’d already lost 5 inches total. I feel as though I’ve lost even more, but even if I haven’t I just feel REALLY good right now.
I actually ran on the treadmill yesterday for 10 minutes straight. For anyone with normal lungs you may think it’s pathetic that I’ve never done that before, but I have exercise and cold induced asthma and ever since I had pneumonia my lungs never been the same. I was the chubby kid that had asthma who hated running in school and would walk laps around the field, losing confidence with every step I took. So 10 minutes is a small milestone, but I’ll certainly take it and am now working towards 15 and eventually 20 hopefully in the next few weeks.
This semester has been tough and slightly discouraging because accounting is extremely difficult for me. Just when I thought I was stupid, my marketing teacher emailed me personally to tell me that I did so well on our test last week that he would like to use my answer as ‘model answers’ for the rest of the class to see. I checked my mark…and I got 100%. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten 100% on anything in my entire life! Even if I’m struggling in accounting, it’s so nice to know I did so well in marketing and that I’m not a total idiot…only when it comes to numbers of any kind. What else has been going so well? Just this morning I happened to check twitter to see that The Commodore had announce that my ABSOLUTE favorite gal Florence and her amazing effing machine is coming to town!!!!!! I have been on cloud nine ever since. I love going to concerts, but it’s a completely different experience when you go to see an artist you’re incredibly into. The only other time this has happened was Coldplay in 2006, Radiohead in 2008, and We Are Scientists/The Stills/Kings of Leon in 2008. Man, 2008 was an unreal year for concerts!

Adam’s friend from uni also invited us to her destination wedding in March 2011 in the Mayan Riviera. This means that in 2011, we’ll have TWO destination weddings to attend! Sounds like a total party to me 🙂

I’m so glad things are looking up and I am in good spirits (which is all I have to get me through midterm week).

May good karma also come your way soon XOXO
