I took a week of vacation this past week. I've had a fantastic time. I finished off the semester on Tuesday. Grades are finally in: Advanced Nursing Research: A and Advanced Pathophysiology: A. The A in patho is a miracle to me considering my test grades, but by virtue of everyone else's even suckier test grades, mine turned into A's. I won't

Woo hoo Smarty Pants! :D

And I know what it's like to fear obesity, no matter what size you are. With women in my family, both sides, I'm the "skinny" one. Yeah. My mom is obese (and I've come mighty close myself) and that will ALWAYS be in my head. What I like to keep in mind is comparatively looking at age...by my age my mom had already been large for several years. Logically thinking these things, though, it still feels like I have this impending "OGOD I'M GOING TO WAKE UP OBESE ONE DAY" feeling. I dunno. It sucks also to feel like you have to fight harder than some people because of genetics. BAH.

All that said, I think you look great! :D

Thanks! I definitely think that genetics are against me, but that won't make me give up. I may never be super trim and fit (I'm not sure I would really want to be anyway, I think girls should be soft)but at least I can be healthy. I've looked at pictures of my mom at about my age and she was bigger than me, but not by a whole lot. I just know that it's something that sneaks up pound by pound and I figure if I get ahead of it now then it won't ever turn into a problem. But yeah, obesity is always a scare to me. Stupid genetics. : )
