Update: Thursday 10 Jan

Yesterday, Jennifer and I went to see Les Misérables. It didn't actually release in theaters until today but they were doing an early movie premiere night. When we walked into the theater room they handed us glasses of champagne… Yeah, that was interesting. All through the movie we kept hearing people knock their glasses over or break them (the theater was packed). In many ways, it was pretty funny. Also, that was the first time I had champagne. I don't like wine and I didn't find the champagne to be that much better, so meh. Just drinking a glass of champagne in a movie theater seemed like a silly idea. I don't know.

Today, I weigh the least that I've weighed in a long time… Which is a good thing, but I still wish I could go get some blood tests done to see what my cholesterol and stuff looks like since I've been eating better. I guess I'll have to wait on that. The last time I had that done was before I left for France, but the doctor didn't say anything about my cholesterol then. A year or two before that I had blood tests and the doctor told me that (of course) my good cholesterol was too low and my bad cholesterol was too high. No surprise. She told me to eat more good fats like olive oil and avocado. Olive oil is the only kind of oil I ever use now anyway. Plus, I eat a lot of vegetables and fruit. So yeah. I am curious. But I don't know if I'd have to pay a lot to have blood tests done here just out of curiosity… I have insurance, but I don't know what it covers. Not to mention, they wouldn't have my previous records to compare it to.

I was going to go somewhere to make an appointment to get my hair cut, but the place that was suggested to me by a classmate looks expensive. Technically I probably don't really need my hair cut. Maybe it would make me feel better about it though? It's starting to act sad. It needs a refresher, I guess.

I have five tomatoes that have been in my cupboard for a week or two (I originally bought ten, so yes I have been using them) and I don't want them to get mushy or moldy, so I think I should use some tonight… I also bought some dry beans (speckled beans though, it'll be interesting to see how they taste) so tonight I will try to make chili for dinner… Chili with fresh beans and fresh tomatoes. I think it will work out just fine… I miss chili.

Now I've already discussed it with my friends and we have decided that we are just skipping tomorrow entirely because January 11 is overrated. I have a writing exam tomorrow, not looking forward to that. That's all I have tomorrow though. My classmates might try to convince me to go out with them… I don't know if I want to but I guess I'm not allowed to decide that today, because it's not tomorrow yet. So what if it's my birthday? I don't like my birthday anyway.
