Well, I upped the protein as someone on the forums suggested, although I couldn’t bring myself to add any more calories.   I also pushed myself into doing 120 mins on the treadmill, hoping that it would up my energy level.  We’ll see how I am tomorrow.  The one really good thing today is that I know I will now be going back to school.  I spent some time on the phone with my first choice college (sorting out transcript information) and it ended with the woman saying she was sure I would get an offer in the next few weeks.  That is good, but I also found out that my second choice college has an offer up (good until May 1st).  So all I have to do now is wait and see if the 1st choice comes through.  That’s a nice place to be in.  If I haven’t mentioned it before, it will be a three-year mechanical engineering technology program.  When I’m done that I can take night classes at the university level to turn it into a degree.  I’m not worried about the second part of that yet.  The college course is a co-op program as well, so I will get more recent experience as I go.  I’m very happy about this, even though it means continuing to be semi-broke for a while.

Well, that’s it for tonight.  I’m going to try another early night so I can hopefully get a good night’s sleep.
