So...I have come to realize as of late that I don't have much to talk about on my blog. Y'all hear about the same type of situation over and over because I don't change my routine very much. I tend to get stuck in my comfort zone and forget that there's a whole world out there to play in.
That being said I am going to try and challenge myself to do something different / new every week. This being a new thing also means that I don't really have much to report from last week. School started up and is running full speed ahead and work is, well, work.
Charles is doing well.
I finished up my training app and transferred to Zombies, Run! (Super wonderful story app that incorporates your run into the story. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuy iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!)
There is real heat in Boston now, however they have not figured out the concept of AC. I can deal with heat, y'all - but I need me a good AC.
Also, I'm looking at buying a skateboard. And learn how to ride it maybe at some point between homework and projects. Because I can.
Until next time,
Kaity

One Week Vacation
And my summer vacation is just about up!
There's nothing wrong with it - I actually enjoy it being a bit short. I never have been able to sit well and, well, the whole idle hands...
Anywho, my vacation basically included me doing nothing. I went out a saw a couple movies and such, but I had made more plans to explore more for the weekend. I was all excited about exploring and going to the Museum of Science with Charles....until Friday afternoon my wallet was stolen. Right out of my back pocket.
Luckily, it is nothing that can't be replaced fairly quickly. I had recently made a pretty nifty duct tape wallet (the part I think I'm honestly most upset about) and put the minimum things I needed into that wallet because I was tired of carrying around my large one with everything in it. Guess it's a good thing I did.
Also, I noticed it was gone in about ten minutes so I was able to get everything shut down and taken care of. The hardest part will be replacing some of the IDs. And the most they were able to take from me was my transport pass. So I hope that they needed the monthly pass more than I did.
So, yeah. That sortof slammed all my plans to a halt. It sucks, but sometimes life does that. Time to just pick myself up and keep moving.
Basically friends, just be careful when traveling. Keep your wallet in your front pocket or in your bag. Be wary of anyone who just bumps into you.
Until next time,

I Am an Addict
I am an addict.
I am not proud of it - I've been struggling with this particular problem since middle school. No, it's not something like drinking or drugs, but addiction shows up in many formats. For me, it comes in the form of picking my face.
It's highly embarrassing, and I usually become very defensive when people point out this flaw. (It happens a lot more than you may think.) Recently, I realized that it's not their fault (although, still not the nicest thing to say to someone) it's completely mine. If I want all the talk to stop, I have to do something about it myself.
The first thing that I must do, like all other addicts, is admit that I have a problem. I see a flaw, I scratch. I'm anxious, I scratch. I'm bored, I scratch. I've even mastered scratching while I'm sitting still. I have a significant problem.
I'm putting this out there to force myself into a bit of peer pressure. I am releasing that I have a problem to the internet in hopes, not of pity or advice, but as a way to remind myself that people are watching.
This should have been the easiest resolution to fix, but it's been five months (of denial) and obviously I have gotten no where. Let's be honest - it's not like just stopping is an option. That's really not how getting rid of an addiction / bad habit works.
Really all I'm asking for is good thoughts and crossed fingers for me to succeed. The goal is by my birthday. That's two solid months and change of accomplishing this task. I really do want to beat this. I want the confidence that comes with it.
Thank you in advanced.

A Weekend of Celebration
I literally feel like half a ton of bricks has been taken off my shoulders - at least for a week.
Boston is warm with sunshine, the streets are filled with black gowns and colorful caps, and, for the first time in a long while, I just have to worry about work. I can come home and change into comfy sweats and just read. Or binge on Netflix. Or go for a run. Or write a book. Or...really anything!
I love that the possibilities are endless - as long as I make it to work on time when scheduled. I also enjoy the fact that it isn't too long. (Idle hands and all that jazz.) I think it is safe to say that it will be an awesome week.
Also - I want to send a massive congrats to all of my friends that are walking away this weekend in a cap and gown and a degree in some area that will be greatly benefited now that you are a part of it. I wish you the best on your next endeavors and cannot wait to see the amazing things that you accomplish! Know that there are people everywhere that our proud of you and are sending you good thoughts.
For the rest of you just like me, in a limbo between semesters - we can do this! We will be walking that stage soon enough! Remember that good things never come easy; diamonds require a lot of pressure and time to shine.
Until next time,

Finals Week is Upon Us
I think that I have fairly successfully made it through the three hardest weeks of my young life. Of course, they would all be right in a row and end with an extremely long overnight at work. (ie. I woke up a few hours ago.) But the idea of only having two projects to complete seems so simple compared to the last few weeks. (Now to not let myself become to complacent.)
Boston is finally warm! We are now in (what I at least consider) spring weather. Mind you, it's hot for most Bostonians and it means that we only enjoyed a few weeks of the beautiful Magnolia flowers before all of their petals ended up on the ground. Unfortunate - but it was quite enjoyable while it lasted.
I cannot tell you how nice it will be to post here next weekend and announce that I have knocked out my first year of grad school. Unfortunately, I do have a week left and I do need to get back to my projects that lay before me.
Thank y'all for all of the wonderful support I have received to get me this far. Thank you to everyone who has been reading these posts and inspiring me to keep writing. Good luck to all who are knocking out finals this week. We shall raise glasses at the end, my friends.
