few updates

Dear Blog,

Today I did this and said that and made this private joke and generally my grammar was terrible and I got myself into a situation with no dramatic tension or character arcs and I guess you had to be there.....

But yeah. I am paying out blogs in general because some of the ones that I have read recently are just a complilation of 'I did this' and 'I did that' and 'I wish that......' and 'oh my life is so terrible'. Don't get me wrong. I've written stuff like this but am now coming to the dramatic conclusion that stuff like that should be kept in a personal journal or notebook hidden away, just read by you!!
Anyway....

I'm just finishing day two of limited to none chocolate and chocolate flavoured things. So for two days now i have not had chocolate or chocolate milk, I have limited myself to one glass of iced coffee a day... and well yeah. I am doing this partially because of the unethical production of chocolate and the unethical harvest of cocoa beans. and also partially because of my blood sugar level and because I need to get my consumption of chocolate and sugar down. But yeah, going well so far. I haven't actually wanted to eat any for most of the time. And I noticed that most of the things being sold at the refectory at uni are chocolate or contain it. Which i'm a bit annoyed at but thats ok... it will also limit my spending in that case as I want to limit my spending and get my budget and finances well under control. So I have removed temptation to not going into shops, only buying the essentials for myself, but mum buys the food and groceries and so yeah...
I made an agreement with myself that I was going to try and not watch television for as long as possible.. this has also been working for two days with the exception of meal times to which there is a tv in the same area so of course i can hear it and see it out of the corner of my eye! I still have been using music and the radio but I just don't see the need to waste time in front of a lit up screen watching boring programs that are on just because it makes money. Anyway.... enough of my ranting and justifying why i'm doing it, because I really shouldn't have to!! This I hope will continue for as long as I can. As I am determined at this stage to continue.

Cheerio
Jess
