Deena! I'm still here
Sorry for the late reply, I started school this week and haven't had time to breathe. Starting this past Monday my schedule goes like this - Monday through Friday I get up at 4:30 am to make it to the gym at 5am... I work out until 6:30, then go home to shower and have oatmeal- then I have class from 8am until 8:30pm with an hour break in the middle. In between other classes, I'm the tutor for the art and animation departments, I work as a lab monitor, I'm the vice president of the animation club, a member of the fine art club and the honor society, plus I still have homework and freelance art and design work. I've been sticking to my lifestyle no problem, though... only drinking water, counting calories and eating healthy (I pack my food with me for the entire day), taking vitamins, not drinking or smoking, and exercising every day. I'm pretty beat at the end of the day, but I can get up the next day to do it all over again and feel great!
Re: the e cigs!
(I just want to start out by saying that I'm not affiliated with this company in any way shape or form other than really liking their stuff and not having tried anything else at this point.)
I'm so happy that you put in an order! Quitting smoking was one of the best things I have ever done for myself. The kit I bought was $50. It came with two batteries (I got shortys at first, but then bought two regular size later because the batteries last longer)... a wall charger, a case, and a 5 pack of cartomizers.
One cartomizer is supposedly the equivalent of one pack of 'analog' cigarettes. I've found it to be true for the most part. I did get a cart that was a dud one time, but they have pretty decent customer service. They also usually send free samples, though lately not as much.
The juice is pretty neat, in that you can order a bottle of juice and a 5 pack of blank cartomizers and fill them over and over again... I like to be all mad scientist like and mix a bunch of different ones together (for example, mixed banana cream pie juice with 555, it tasted like banana nut bread.)
With both the juice and the carts, you can order them in different levels of nicotine. I started at an 18, and found it to be too strong sometimes... an 11 worked well. I've since stepped myself down to 8, and now 4 with an occasional 2. You pick the strength of nicotine when you go to put the flavor in your cart. Tobacco flavored carts are just flavored, they contain no actual tobacco. I've had the Kamel, and it tastes like unsweetened iced black tea to me. It was really good!
Im in to graphic design too, pretty amazing stuff 
). But as soon as this gets here....that's it.
