Happy Halloween! My friends back in LA are choosing to celebrate Halloween by dressing up in tin foil and going to Chipotle to get free burritos. Ahhh, I'm so jealous ... not just because I'm on a diet and am craving junk food (well, not so much anymore, but more on that later) but also because I MISS CHIPOTLE! Considering how I had Chipotle at least twice a month during the summer, I'm suffering from Chipotle withdrawl after two months of no Chipotle. =( I don't know why, but it's just so goooood, especially with steak, corn salsa and tomato salsa, sour cream, and some guacomole. Oh damn, I need to stop thinking about it.

But anyway, today is day three of the diet regime and I've lost about 3 kg (holy!), but I think I regained it back this lunch time. Why did I regain it? Because I went out to eat with my colleagues ... Why did I do that? Because I can't say no! I'm still a newbie here, so need to socialize and ingratiate myself (har har har) with my colleagues. Besides, right now I'm still a part-timer, but after my part-time is up, they want me to do full-time (SWEET! I have a JOB!). So, even more reason to make myself favorable to my colleagues, especially those higher up than me. Hohoho. Anyway, they're also really nice people, so it was all good. Mostly listened than talked during lunch, but hey, it's what I do. >.< I need to learn to start ... talking .. as I keep telling myself but never succeeding.

Anyway, so that's why I kinda failed in my diet today, but it's not the end! I'm just going to continue with it tonight and for the rest of the week. Oh, the pasta was so good, but it also curbed my real-food cravings. :P so it's a good thing, as I see it. Hehehe. Back to salad, fruit, and soup tonight. Tomorrow is banana and milk day, oh and soup of course. Mmmmm ... can't wait (sarcasm x1000000).

This becoming full-time throws some kinks into my original plan, but it also sets me back on my original original plan, which is to get a job, a full-time one. It also allows me to obtain some of that much needed job experience that everyone seems to want nowadays. So I'm happy. Kinda. I'm going to miss going to Belgium for winter and also learning Chinese, but eh, it's just a sacrifice I'll have to make, I guess. As for the future, I doubt I want to work here for the rest of my life, but I think I'll try to save up some money to get to grad school in New York. I think that's my next goal - just to continue with psychology. Eh, I hate making long term plans, though, because they never seem to work out. So. I guess we'll just see what the future brings, eh? Only time can tell. :)

For now, I shall just wait for my Leopard impatiently! L-E-O-PAAAAARD!
