Sister Visit | R is for Regulars

Saturday, Aprill 11th

Today was supposed to be Race day..the day I would run a 10k...but that didn't happen.

I think I would have been pretty depressed about not completing this goal of mine were it not for my sister coming to visit me this morning from Waco for lunch.

We went to St. Philip's and had pizza and their Polenta fries which were interesting; I had never tried them before but I do like them and the mushroom pizza was decent.

Afterwards, we went to the mall for a bit and walked around then went to Houndstooth coffee to get a latte, and she left shortly after to get back to Waco. It was a nice afternoon; I just wish I could have spent more time with her.

I'm really thankful for my sister because she gives me perspectives on some things that other people don't, and coming from her own experiences which in my opinion make her a much wiser person than me, I really get a good look on some of the things I worry or think about. It was nice to just be in her company this afternoon and be able to talk and not feel judged. I've really missed spending a lot of time with her and wish I had more opportunities to do so.

Sunday, April 12th

After my sister left yesterday I went to the gym for a run, and tired myself some...then made the mistake of skipping dinner. I was really exhausted for the rest of the day, and ended up going downtown to Halcyon, a bar / coffee place that has smores, so we ate some smores and I got an Italian soda and then went to sleep pretty tired from the sugar / lack of nutrition. I woke up several times kind of hungry and then this morning for brunch I went to Galaxy Cafe yet again.

R is for Regulars

Tonight, I am headed to Katy, Texas. I just really need to see my mom; sometimes I just get a longing for family and being around my sister made me miss the rest of my family even more, so I'm taking an impromptu day trip to Houston and coming back Tuesday morning. It might be dumb for me to skip school, but I have one class cancelled tomorrow, and I only have one test this week that I honestly think I'd focus better on studying for if I was at home. 

Tomorrow is also my mom's day off of work, so I'm hoping to just kind of chill with her and enjoy the time at home, maybe go to her gym classes with her and just relax because the last couple weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster for me.

Right now, I'm sitting in our Student Union building on campus waiting for my meeting to start so that I can head home to pack. I could be doing homework but I think I'll just save that for the bus ride.

At Galaxy, I ordered coffee and drank two cups, but there's a Starbucks here and I am more than tempted to go get myself an iced latte or something. Probably won't because hellooo calories and I didn't work out today but the lack of food yesterday really has me hungry today, even though I ate pretty much my entire meal at lunch.

There are some things on my mind lately that have been particularly bugging me, one involving envy, one involving uncertainty about my future, and one involving religion and church. I know there's a solution to church - I can just start going, trying churches, asking around about where to go and who to go with... and I know that in the end, everything will work out with my future, but I'm having extra trouble getting over some jealousy. I know it's natural and normal but I'm really trying not to be a jealous person who makes a big deal about nothing but it's really hard for some reason.

One of my really good friends and I were talking the other day, and I was just telling him how I've been feeling lately about all of these things, and he said that rather than being uncomfortable with this change in me, it's actually a good thing because it shows that I'm finally opening up to people and myself and growing up / maturing. I guess this is true but it has me very anxious.

In other news, these terrible pictures of me tabling were posted on facebook and I'm upset. LOL.
