Summer Skin

What was that thing I was going to do this summer? Oh, that's right. Keep a blog. More like JUST KIDDING! I'm so tired of always making plans to do stuff like this.

"I will write a blog post every week."
"I will eat healthier food."
"I will go to the gym ever single weekday."

Yeah, right. Like any of that stuff actually happens. Well, to be honest, the eating healthy thing has been going pretty well recently. And it is a personal goal to partake in the preparation and consumption of many a fruit and vegetable next year at school. There is no way I want to fall back into the MSG and carb ridden rut I ended up stuck in at the end of Freshmen year. No freakin way. In any case, the point is that I've officially decided to give up making stupid plans like these. It's time to embrace the rolling waves of destiny and ride them into the unknown abyss. Or at least until I'm too fat to fit into my new dresses and depressed enough to barricade my pitying self into my room with no form of communication save this very blog. But by the time that point arrives, I'll likely have offed myself anyhow. At least I hope so.

On a brighter note, I actually have unwittingly managed to get done so far mostly all of what I had written about a month and a half ago towards the beginning of summer. Here's a handy dandy breakdown:

  1. Get a Job - I can happily say that this has been achieved in glorious style. Not only did I totally rock that interview and beat out all the other eager eyed teenage candidates, I have also managed to make enough money to buy myself approximately 500000000 new dresses, an exponsive new computer, and pocket some extra cash for the long and treacherous journey ahead. Oh, and of course, learned lots of important life lessons on the ins and outs of a research and development department as well as developing people skills that will help me succeed later in life and yadda yadda yadda. Kidding. That's necessary and highly useful too =)
  2. Learn to Cook - Ok, so this hasn't gone exactly according to plan. I had planned on being able to cook like a pro at this point in the game. Not quite! But those bases are totally being rounded. I've learned to make potatoes, eggs, okra, beans, rice (in a rice cooker), and to heat up everything else I may need from handy dandy tupperware containers of frozen food my mother will be packing up. Here's proof:
  3. Watch Lots of TV - "But, um..." does it count if you just watched seasons upon seasons of old TV shows on your computer? YES. A whole bunch of hindi dramas? Check. 3 seasons of The Big Bang Theory? Affirmative. 5 Seasons of How I Met Your Mother? Been there done that. 4 seasons of Psych? I've heard it all kinds of ways, but mainly just as... DONE. I have watched countless movies, music videos, youtube shorts, and through it all realized my undying love for all things Neil Patrick Harris and SHINee.
A summer well spent, indeed.
