Banana and things to say

I despise children...

Today, three teachers were out. One whose daughter is sick, the other had kidney stones and was rushed to the hospital and the third for some ritual about worshiping her husband. I got stuck looking after the little brats and was well taken advantage of. The worst of it being I was peed on by a crying infant while the rest of the kids stood around pointing and laughing... I was so upset I started crying.

Anyway, I'm still working on the banana diet and well, I haven't seen any changes still. I don't know... I think I need to work out. I want to go to a gym with a membership and all, but I don't have the time. I work from 9-6 and have no time in between. My next option is to purchase an elliptical machine. I think this might be good for both me and Dad, but it still comes at a slight price.

Well, I bet you all have been wondering where my art is. After all this is an art sketch blog. I have been negligent but here is something I've been working on!She is a shinigami girl. Although the original idea wasn't like this, I think i like this concept better. Although I find her eyes a little too cheesy or yellow... Any suggestions?

Morning Banana Diet Day 2

This is the second day of my diet, and so far nothing has happened...as can be expected.

Yesterday, my meals consisted of the (breakfast) banana, (lunch) some radishes, carrots with hummus, a bite of chicken and (dinner) small bowl of rice with cabbage and two pieces of meat and two clams.

I went to bed at 10:30 give or take, just because I was so exhausted I couldn't stay up another minute more. So was an hour and a half short of my expected time period. I got up at 6:00am and got ready for the day.

TGIF. I made breakfast for dad and washed all the dishes. His breakfast was a three egg omelet with red peppers, onions, garlic and pesto garnish with some melted Munster cheese coming with a side of cold chicken with a sauce of pesto and mustard. He thought the omelet was soft moist and delicious since I didn't let it sit once and beat it till done. The reason I'm making his food so nicely is because I want to eat it. Stupid banana.

Morning Banana Diet

So, I've just gotten back from Taiwan...and gained back all the weight I lost when I came home. That's right, gained back. So, in an effort to lose weight effectively and without a desperate self starvation method I have decided on the Morning Banana Diet.

The decision all started when I was watching youtube videos of fat people complaining about how depressed and upset they were about being fat. It was when I saw a Japanese person complaining about how if you are overweight in Japan you are fined and looked down upon. It is illegal for them to be overweight over there. So, what a lot of people do when they are overweight is the Morning Banana Diet. Since so many of the Japanese people are so thin I decided to try it as well. I mean they and I have very similar genetics being Asian and all.

Essentially what it is,
-eat a banana in the morning with some warm water
-Go about your other meals with ease, so eat whatever, but you cannot eat till your full. 7/10's full is best.
-Last meal is no later than 8pm (need four hours between eating and sleeping)
-End

I think I'll try this method for 2-4 weeks and see how it goes. If I don't start seeing some results, this blog will document my feelings and observations. I've already bought bananas and have eaten one this morning.

Post Gradution Blues...

This is a strange time in life, as it is for everyone leaving college with a liberal arts degree and little else in mind other than finding a job. I'm sure everyone is doing their best in this economy and I am grateful for everything I've gone through in college.

I'm going to miss all the experiences and friends I made along the way and I'll think fondly of all these memories. I can't help but notice how I've changed these last few years, gathering from what I've read in my past notes. I wonder why i even wrote notes... I'm so cheesy. Still, shouldn't let the trend die so easily.

Currently, I'm working for a newly opened Montessori in New Jersey. You can imagine my excitement (SARCASM). I've learned to control my fear of children, at least on the outside. Really though I am very nervous and easily irritated around them. There is no way I am ever going to be a teacher. No, I'm the secretary...and occasional helper. There are lots to do, since the director didn't do anything digitally and relied solely on his memory. I changed that and introduced Microsoft Office 2008 to them...been very busy updating everything and creating advertisements and e-mailing and office stuff. I suppose this is an okay job, i'm dedicated and making good money and taking care of Dad. Did I mention he's the owner?

There is so much drama working in a school. That much does not change. Whether it is working in the college art office, or a Montessori office. I do believe teachers are Drama queens.

This is also good in that I can work on my own art and come along quite well. The internet audience at conceptart has become my new critique'ers and I am taking them quite seriously.

Looking back, I think i can say that i have changed a lot. For one thing, i've gotten boring, serious and responsible. This is a slap of reality hitting me. I used to be crazy and fun! Damn I miss those days. I just remember having the time of my life. I won't mention specifics since I have no idea who will be reading this...but let's just say...not many girls liked me...at. all. I regret nothing.

Of course this all changed my Senior year when i met my wonderful boyfriend. At least he was wonderful.

I suppose all relationships hit a bump sooner or later, just didn't expect mine so soon. Maybe I made the wrong choice, I might have. I'm laid back, love doing new things, getting drunk, hanging with people and partying. He's strict, likes to stay home and play video games all day, eat at the same places and is kind of boring. I love him, and maybe i needed this influence in my life, but i feel like he's my parent, not by boyfriend. And I'm too young to feel like an old married gal. Plus he's always yelling at me and telling me what i've done wrong. Sadly, I really don't think this relationship will last much longer. He is the first man i have fallen in love with, but he makes me so unhappy. I feel like I've changed part of myself to please him. I hate doing that.

Sigh...anyway, I think I'll make some new goals for myself again for this new year!
-Help the school run well
-Get several FINISHED art pieces together!
-Finish deciding on a website background
-Finish website
-Find an art related job in a city
-Have FUN (go clubbing, party)
-Meet new people and hang out with friends as often as possible

My message today is not like my past jolly old messages. This one sucks. Because I don't know if i'll like this lifestyle.
