Adventure Time!

Lately I have been feeling very productive. I've been thriving on change and feeling like I've finally got everything in semi handle-able order. It's a very good feeling and one I rarely experience due to my total lack of motivation in almost every area of my life.
Classes start again tomorrow and I'm actually pretty psyched. My new job is going well. In case you didn't hear, I am now a telephone survey taker for MSU. I sit in a basement and call hundreds of people and ask them very politely to answer a few questions about their health or the world around them. People are very rude. They hang up and they get mad even though I'm not asking for money and I would think people would like someone taking interest in their lives. So if someone calls you and asks you to take a survey, just say yes. Because it's inexpicably wonderful to have someone polite on the other line after two hunderd hang ups in a hot basement.
Other than that, an adventure is on the horizon. In a little less than two weeks you will find me sailing around the Carribean sea stopping in Aruba, St. Thomas, and Dominica. I think I would say I am most excited to get a tan on this trip. Oh god how I miss the sun. I don't know if any of my dear readers have ever lived in Michigan during the winter, but if not I'll paint you a little picture.
Imagine waking up every day to a grey sky and below freezing temperatures. Snow, freezing rain, sleet, slush and every other damp substance creeps into your shoes, your socks, your pant legs, and your skin. You can't go outside without your nosehairs freezing. You can't get in your car without your teeth chattering. You avoid going outside unless completely nessecary and when you do it gets dark at 5:00 anyway.
So ya know, a week in the sun is something most people in this state would literally kill for right now.

Also, just as a side note, I have decided that when I meet my weight loss goal I will reward myself with a brand new absolutely gorgeous dress from modcloth.com! My goal is 30 lbs by September so keep checking back for updates.
P.S. Heres one of the dresses I have my eye on
