Change can be good.

Horoscope for the day (Taurus): Don't take any financial risks today. They're not likely to pay off. Play it safe.

Usually, I do play it safe.

Last night I had a nightmare. Not really that big of a shocker, despite the fact that I hardly ever dream, and when I do, it's a bunch of nonsense and jumbled up colors and scenes and people. I never remember what actually happened when I wake up.

But last night I dreamt that I was forced to stay after school for some unknown reason, and when I kept asking people, they told me it was for eighth grade graduation. Which is Friday, and it's Monday.

I started flipping out because I didn't have my shoes, my gown, my hair done, or my dress (well I had a dress, but not my dress) with me.

I called my mom and she brought me my friend's green converses, which looked stupid and didn't match. But she still forgot my gown, so I couldn't even graduate.

I"m convinced that my dream was probably me venting my anxiousness and worries about graduation, but I've been treating it like it's no big deal. And it's really not, truthfully. But I guess I'm more nervous than I thought.

Anyway, I plan to be ready Friday night for grad. I really don't want to be caught unprepared.

So today I've decided to actually start being healthier. I don't want to look like a whale in my swimsuit this year, so I'm going to start exercising. Starting today!

I mean, for lunch I had an apple and some celery w/ peanut butter, which is very healthy (for me) and half a chicken patty. Then after school I had some strawberries, and for supper homeade french fries and chicken. I still need my protein, after all.

I've pretty much cut soda from my diet permanently, except for sometimes having a diet coke. I've also cut down on Vitamin Water and I've been drinking more Fuze Healthy Infuzion drinks, which have like 5 calories, depending on what kind you buy.

Don't worry, I don't plan on becoming anorexic or bulimic or anything, I just know I need to be more healthy and I want to lose weight. I mean, I weight like 148 and I'm only 14. That's not good!

I'M GOING TO LOSE WEIGHT. YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT, FOOLS.
