I haven't updated in FOREVER.....around a month, exactly...but now I'm back at school and will get back into the groove.  This year, SENIOR year (ahh), I'm living in an off campus apartment w. my loves Nicole & Lizzie B (a sorority sister of mine).  The apartment is about a two minute walk (literally) to my sorority house where I have a meal plan this semester (4 dinners, plus one free meal)...However, I'll prob be going a little more than that calls for.  For lunches not at the house, I usually make turkey salads and heat up some vegetable soup or make Smart Ones microwavable meals.

I've been on a real health/exercise kick since I've been back.  Annoyingly so..I've been watching what I eat pretty carefully  (with the occasional deviation, but that is rare)and working out almost daily..plus I'm taking a dance aerobics class twice a week, and she's kinda Nazi about it..Sweet, I want a HOT bod by the end of this semester...I just want to develop life-long habits and maybe (ok, ok, DEFINITELY) lose a few pounds while I'm at it

Let's see...The party scene has been lame.  Been to a couple stupid house parties. Been to the bars twice. I hate the specific bar so maybe that's why I feel the bar scene sucked. Went to our fav Jew frat party Friday.  It's soo sad..We've grown up so much.  When we were freshmen and sophomores, we LIVED for those parties. It was so cool to have all the older bros paying attention to us..now we're seniors, everyone is younger, and frat parties are so freaking lame, even if you're friends with the brothers (more on that in a sec).  It's just a lot of freshmen girls getting drunk and acting like sluts.  Haha, maybe that's why we liked it freshmen year.  And, I feel like a lot of our friends in the house have since graduated or that things are just like a little different since London.  Also, of course things have been weird with one of my friends.  As of right now, we've been here about two weeks, and I just feel like our friendship is going down the drain. Not that we were ever like BFF or even super close, but whatever weird relationship we had, I just think it's slowly diminishing.  We seem to have nothing in common anymore and nothing to talk about.  I used to think we were SOO similar; now I think we are headed in completely opposite directions and are in really different places in life. I'll keep you updated..I shouldn't even be sad about it, based on the up and down history...it's just different and it's change and it is a little sad to me, to tell you the truth.

Besides that, it's good to see my bestests that didn't go abroad with us.  Some things don't change, and those amazing relationships haven't. It's nice to pick up where we left off! The other night a bunch of us went to the mall for some eats @ American Cafe (delicious salad with chicken, strawberries & walnuts--such a J meal!), and then we went to see Garden State. It was sooo fun to reconnect.  We also spent one night playing poker and gossiping at the boys' house, and another night activity was spent watching Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory on the quad.  Of course my delinquents brought alcy! I still have been anti-alcy for the most part...I could care less if anybody else drinks it, I just haven't wanted it for myself.  We'll see if I break down and get drunk.  Not really counting on it, though.  In the past 9 months, I've probably been drunk twice.  Haha, I'm a loser!

Of course, things are also different because of stuff going on at home....However, let's just say everything will be ok..you just gotta fight and stay strong!
