But I actually was a Freshman15 loser!

Recently discovered that my college has inflated the vending machine prices, AGAIN!

A twix bar used to cost 75 cents 2 years ago, went up to 85 cents last year and recently went up to a crazy DOLLAR!

The sodas used to cost $1.00 2 years ago went up to $1.25 last year and now cost $1.50.

The canned sodas used to cost 60 cents but went up to 75 cents.

I never gained the Freshman 15, I actually lost a lot of weight during my first year, well during every year around midterms and finals.

The college/ vending machine companies most likely did this because the economy is shitty but for the people that really don’t have to watch their weight and have to consume a snack every hour or so to function during classes this recent increase in prices is just cruel.

If more people notice this and start complaining I am thinking of starting a petition. The tuition to attend this college is up to 40k, they should at least reduce prices for the foods we purchase out of our own pockets.

end of rant.

‘Fringe’ is on my Fall TV lineup radar. Two words…
Josh Jackson.

this pilot was SOOO fucking good even with LOST and Sunshine music, that i seriously cannot WAITTTT for the finished product, and the complete season. it really seems like J.J. and the Transformers boys have a winner on their hands, just in time for the ending of LOST. even though Fox does misstep from time to time with shows, i am a bit nervous about the future, but then again, i mean, it should be pretty awesome.

Agree. Incredible show. Fox is better than other networks when it comes to giving series chances. Hopefully they see how great it is and keep it around for a complete series.

Thinking of running the 5k on September 1st. It is for a local marathon that I have went to many times to cheer on friends but never really ran in it myself because I had to prepare for other competitions. This year, however, I want to run it to prove to myself that I have not let go of my athletic past. It’s been a while since I enrolled in any competitions, since I was 19 to be exact, so it would be great if I was able to compete this time around. My goal is to just finish, finishing is by far the best thing to do when running.

Confession

I have mastered the Bitchy “I can block whatever you have said and make it appear that I was listening when I really wasn’t and make it seem like we are friends but I don’t consider you to be my friend” expression.

I didn’t even know I had this expression until multiple people pointed it out, including my parents. They say that I have always done it since I was little. A little bitch. Charming.

I can’t even tell when I am doing it. But I guess it’s a good thing when it comes to talking to ignorant individuals that I really don’t want to have a rivalry with. 

I say that it really isn’t a “Bitchy” expression rather I’m just too nice for my own good and can’t risk the chance of having people dislike me, or rather wasting unnecessary energy on anger and endless meaningless conversations with people I don’t like.

Morning run with weird stranger

  • Stranger: Wow, you finished that 3 km pretty fast.
  • Me: thanks?
  • Stranger: You must be East African.
  • Me: um... [nervous laugh] yeah.. sorry can't talk I really want to run another one.
  • Stranger: but..
  • -----------
  • The guy was about 17 years old, I think, and most likely attended or attends the high school where the track is located, which so happens to be the high school I attended years ago. He never caught up to me while I was running and I sprinted away when I was done. Not a conversation I like to have early in the morning. For all I know he could've had a fetish for East African girls who can run really fast... yikes.

Too smart for his own good

  • Boy Cousin: I want to get my own room
  • Me: yeah it's the best thing
  • Boy Cousin: No, the best thing is living.
  • Me: Highfive!
  • Boy Cousin: Highfive, yeah I'm smarter than you and you are in college.
The two little cousins who are siblings that I’m babysitting at this very moment, and slowly getting a headache from. They are fun to have conversations with though. The girl is going to grow up becoming an olympic track runner and the boy will become a mad scientist. 
Respectively Boy is 7 1/2 years old and Girl is 11.

Babysitting little cousins aka devils

  • Girl Cousin: [stares at my ears]
  • Me: what are you staring at?
  • Girl Cousin: nothing [laughs]
  • Me: stop staring at me!
  • Girl Cousin: [laughter] your ears!
  • Me: [Covers ears] UGH!
  • Girl Cousin: [laughter] it looks like you have earplugs in your ears, but I know you really don't.
  • Me: um... I'm going to ignore you from now on.
