Tuesday is SUCH a SPECIAL day!

So, I had my interview with my professor, who is now officially my professor! I am starting my master's classes on Sept. 24th! Wish me tons of luck! I am going to need it! I've always enjoyed school, so hopefully the going part won't be to bad, but I know that I have several problems to overcome already. The program I am entering is a highly inclusive one, which means they want my students to have tons of inclusion! Seeing as my schoolroom is not on a regular campus...this could get dicey! We'll see! Yipee...I get to drive into Hayward twice a week!

Well, I will be downloading pictures from my recent trip to SF with two of my nieces and my sister and my momma soon! We had SUCH fun!

Also, I am still working on the gastric bypass surgery. This is not an easy thing. Not only is it so easy to get discouraged, but, but it is easy to forget, when I am feeling hungry. I had some YUMMY fish this evening though. I am doing okayand telling myself I am doign okay. I weigh less now than I have in quite some time, but today was difficult. When I feel stress(like the interview I had today for my Masters program), or like something isn't going my way...I either want to eat or sleep. Ususally sleep isn't an option, so eating wins. Duh...can't get much lamer than that! Shockingly, giving up all soda, after the initial caffine w/d's hasn't been to hard. I miss diet coke, but not as much as I'd thought I would. I just miss food in general. I haven't had much recently. Funny thing...when I feel like I've done good, or someone gives me a compliament...I want to reward myself...with food! Dude...gotta find a better method of self-gratification yes?! Any positive suggestions? Okay, so I totally need the compliaments! Keep 'em comin'! I just can't seem to WANT to reward myself any other way. YIKES!
