MI

Here I am in Michigan. Waiting for other folks to come downstairs so we can all go over to the college for workshops. I've been taking lots of notes about the workshops but I swear if I see one more scene I'm going to shoot someone.

Should have brought my swimsuit but I am so fat right now I think I might have done myself a favor.

Eating for free but eating too much. I eat a thousand calories for breakfast and then another thousand for dinner. So far I've managed to spend $26 bucks on this trip: $14 at Olive Garden, $8 at TGI Friday's, $4 on drinks (2 for me one for another). Skipping lunch. Too expensive. That's what I'll be doing a lot next semester. Gonna try to eat on the cheap. Need to save more money. And earn more.

I'm dreading my weigh in on Monday morning. Oy.

I miss Ryan. Pathetic, I know. What, it's been all of 4 days?

The number of people at this conference is so depressing. There's so many talented actors here that it makes me feel like I'll never get cast for anything. I need to find a second job/career that will be the breadwinner. I've got that degree in Communications... now what can I do with it? Something I enjoy... I have no idea. Maybe writing. I need to crack down and start reading again. There's just never enough time for anything anymore.

Another long day ahead of me. I'm so sleepy I got up at 6:40am but we're not leaving until 9:30. I was going to leave at 7:30 on the shuttle but the person I was going to go with slept in. Lucky them. Sleepy me.

Lucky me also has one roommate and not two or three like there was supposed to be here in MI. I have some privacy now and then which makes me very happy. I need my privacy. I move onto campus a week from tomorrow. I'm not looking forwards to that. My roommate's name is Brittany. Don't know anything other than that about her. I Facebooked her and there were a couple girls by her full name. Didn't friend her. Because she's not my friend. Yet, I should say. I can already feel my chin sticking out. My folks identified that as I sign I was getting stubborn. Whatever the case, I get to pack this next week. At least home will be close by if I forget anything. A very good thing indeed considering my memory. HA.

I ran just over an eleven minute mile yesterday. Makes me very happy because I thought that going 6.5 mph on a 2.0 incline should be my norm. Nope, I can really keep going at 5.5 mph on no incline. Now I get to work my way up from here. I'm so glad my dorm (pardon me, residence hall RIGHT) is next to the gym (pardon me, recreation center). I'm really gonna try to get in shape. I'll need lots of good new music though, and the interesting Great Courses. The philosophy ones should still last me a while, I'm only on Part II of VII.

I guess that's all for now. Maybe some folks have come downstairs. I'll go see.
