A lot has happened since my last post! well, i guess not a lot. first of all, we'll start out with The Biggest Loser. I ended up not even making video. It was just too much to do in too little time. and my hope was just getting smaller and smaller as the days went by. I'm trying on my own to lose the weight. so far, it's inching along. But i know that i can do it. somehow, some way. I can do it.
Which brings me to another point. I am so fed up with making excuses. Pretty much every night i tell myself "Tomorrow will be different. Tomorrow I will get in my exercise. Tomorrow I will control my eating habits. Tomorrow I will make time to read my Bible and spend time with God. Tomorrow I will work on my school work. Tomorrow I will not stay on the computer for a ridiculous amount of time." sadly- very few times these "I will's" actually work out. As I listen to Francesca Battistelli's "It's Your Life", the lyrics say "it's your life, whatcha gonna do? the world is watching you. every day the choices you make say what you are and who." It's my life. What AM i going to do? What choices am I going to make that decide who I am? Am I going to stick to my words? Or am I just going to let the desires of my heart fade away? When am I going to change things? Now. I have to do it now. Today. The idea of tomorrow is gone.

| biggest loser came on tonight. i can't even begin to describe to you how much i want to be on that show. every time i watch it, it's like something inside of me bursts and i am so fired and so ready to be on the show!! i know i can do, i KNOW it! i'm kind of worried about the video that me and drew are going to make because i'm not an organized thinker. actually, i'm not organized at all. i can talk about things, but within 2 seconds, i'm thinking about something else, so that is what comes out. hopefully, since drew IS organized, he'll keep us on the right path.
okay, OTHER than the biggest loser, it didn't snow like it said it would  seems like everywhere around us got snow, and we got.. sunshine? unsuccessful trade. on the bright side (no pun intended), school got canceled because of the 'winter storm advisory', at which i had to laugh because there wasn't a drop of snowflake. the sunshine Chuck-Norris-roundhouse-kicked us all in the face. if it's going to be 29 degrees, i want snow. but if the sun is going to shine, i want warmth.
next week is spring break. i'm pretty ready for that. taking a trip to Charleston, SC to visit a friend who lives there. also tie-dying :D :D if you didn't know, that is probably my favorite activity. i can't wait!

| yesterday... Biggest Loser tryouts.... i don't even know if there is any phrase or even just a word to describe it. hell, maybe. or amazing. i'm not sure. Drew gives a more detailed version in his blog, but i'm going to cover it anyway in small details.
first of all, we get there around 7.15 or 7.30 and there's already about 450 people in front of us. so we're standing outside, in the cold, RAINY, weather. most of us had our umbrella's to shelter us. sucks for those who didn't look think to weather.com it! for about 5 hours we were outside. then they move us into a huge building of.. nothingness. just walls, a wet floor, and fat people odor (don't ask for a description). we were packed in there! maybe a little too close for comfort, considering who our surroundings were. honestly, it felt like it was 1933. the NBC casting crew as Hitler and the Nazis, and all of us fatties as jews. i was just waiting for the poison gas to start raining out of the ceiling! we went from that building to another one, totaling about 3 hours indoor waiting. when we finally got 'called' into the interviewing process, we were in a room with 20 people. 10 people at one table, and the other 10 at the other table (separated by a petition-like thing.) each had one interviewer asking their table questions. i was very disappointed in how the 'interview' process went down. he would ask us a question, and say 'discuss it' and we would all talk at once, basically screaming for attention. i guess if someone caught their eye they would get marked as a potential and hopefully that person will get a call to advance to the next step. they are supposed to call people by wednesday night, so we'll see! if we don't get a call, we're going to make a video and send it in. i just don't think you can get to know someone in a room full of screaming people.
the very cool part about the whole experience was getting to know people while we were standing in line for 8 hours! there was one guy named Jason who was awesome! we actually went out to eat with him and another woman and he bought all 3 of us food! i love meeting new people and getting to know them on a deeper level than just 'hey, nice shirt. kbye!' it was also awesome to be surrounded by your own species. we all talked about our favorite mouth-watering food and what were going to eat when we got out of that place. food was the subject of talk many many times. we could all relate, that was the cool thing! we weren't afraid to talk about our weight because we're all in the same boat, or worse! something my thin friends will never be able to understand. so that was really awesome
so yep- that's pretty much it. i'm hopeful, but not expectant.
i have nothing else worthy enough to mention since the last post.

| frustration sets in. i have been learning and almost perfecting a song on guitar, and tonight i find out its pretty much all wrong. so i have to learn it all over again. thankfully it's such an easy song. no intricacy really. perfect beginner's song. so anyway, my night just went down the poop shooter. but shwhatever.
Biggest Loser tryouts on saturday. nervous.

| i have recently formed the utmost respect for any guitar player out there. i'm currently in the process of trying to teach myself how to play guitar, and it is tough stuff! i have decent rhythm, so the strumming isn't so hard. BUT changing notes is so hardcore! granted, i have only been 'playing' for about 3 weeks total. i guess it's just my impatience taking over. i want to be good now! anyway, i had no idea it was that difficult. i guess once you learn, it's not so bad. same thing with piano. i just had to learn. that reminds me, i miss playing the piano. 
other news: i'm thinking about doing some missionary research and finding a missionary family in Ecuador to possibly work with this summer? it's just a fetus thought in my head, but that would be a dream come true if it worked out! who knows, though. this summer is confusing to me. i have so many things i want to do and i have no idea if even half of them are legit! i want to go on NBC's "The Biggest Loser" ( trying to drag Drewski along with me, even though he doesn't have much weight to lose), i want to work at another summer camp, i want to spend my entire summer overseas... oh the options!
okay, i'm going to put my Sunday to use and take a 2 hour nap now : )
