Haha! I am victorious!

At this point I really need to buckle down and write a chapter of my thesis each week for the next month. I also have to write more job applications and lose some weight before Benjamin's Bar Mitzvah so I will look nice in my dress - and so Mom won't kill me. I've gotten a good start on all these things today.

First, I exercised this morning and didn't eat too many carbs or sugary foods (I had some frozen yogurt and pudding, but only very small helpings). I also completed two job applications. Finally, I got a third of one of my thesis chapters done. Ah, sweet success!

I shall now brew a celebratory pot of tea and fool around until bedtime.
