New Quarter, New Me ~ Daily Log 4/1

I am really excited about this quarter.  It is my last first day of my undergraduate college experience! And I'm ready to make it count. My course load is a lot lighter than it ever has been before, and I'm going to take advantage of that to make the most of my time here.

Last night I got to watch 2 great wine movies - Bottle Shock and Corked.  The former was about how Napa became so popular in the 70's (it stars Alan Rickman!) and the latter was a mockumentary about the wine industry and how ridiculous some of the winemakers are.  Both were very entertaining and I'd recommend them (while drinking wine of course!).

Today will be a rather simple day, but I'm going to try and get a lot done.  I'm currently working in the office for a couple hours, I'm hoping to have a quick lunch then run to the gym, go to class, and then get some stuff done.  Maybe try a new recipe later! :)

Oh, and I can't believe my birthday is coming up so quickly! This year has passed by so fast, and I've had a lot of fun.  This next year will hold a lot of surprises for me, but I'm ready for it! Hardships make you stronger, and stepping out of your comfort zone facilitates learning.  I am SO ready! My life is just beginning.

Just recently, an old friend called me a "fat, ugly bitch." I took a look in the mirror today and smiled at my reflection.  I'm by no means perfect, but I do my best that I can every day and I am proud of who I am :) I can only get better every day.
