Hey. It's been a couple of months since I logged in. Things are pretty much the same, except a desire for self improvement. I've been working out more than ever and counting my calories. It's turned into this daily routine of logging in whatever I eat. Actually quite fun, but also a little time consuming. I'm still trying to study for the gmat (business school exam for those of you who don't know). I get unfocused at times. It's like I can't simply focus on the prize of getting into grad school. Recently, getting my equilibrium back has been a challenge. I think it's been lost since 2000. No, seriously. When I was younger I was much more disciplined and determined. Today, I'm just a tired slacker. How can I get motivated on my own? That's a good question. I'm motivated about losing weight, but I'm not motivated about studying. Ugh.

A Little About Alethia

My first year out of college has been interesting. Interesting because the future is so uncertain. No one knows where they'll be one year from now or five years from today. Cliche I know, but very true.

(I am watching the news and the Porter Ranch fire is being broadcasted live. All those houses burning down. All those residents. It's so devastating just to watch. They say the fire broke out because of a cigarette butt in a homeless camp. The dry and windy weather is contributing. Porter Ranch is one out of five fires that are occurring at the moment. Such a tragedy.)

I want to one day travel all over the world. I studied abroad before. I went to England, France, Italy, the Czech Republic, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Singapore. I was a student- things were different. Obviously now, my travel bug is dormant due to financial reasons. I will post up my Europe and South East Asia pictures when I get the chance.

The most important things in my life are my family and close friends. The people that love us remain fixed into our lives.

For now on, I will let my blogging do the telling.
