"Skinny Biotch" Diet Program

Last year I got really interested in my health and tried to start eating foods that were better for me. I felt by cutting out unhealthy foods, it was good for my waist line but it also gave me more energy and made me feel a lot better mentally. A couple months into my new way of eating I started reading this book that my mom had called The Skinny Bitch. It is basically a book saying the only way to be skinny and healthy was to go Vegan. A vegan is a diet that doesn't allow you to eat anything that comes from an animal. It is a way more extreme diet than a vegetarian because you can't even eat dairy products when you are vegan.

Right after reading this book I was disgusted with all the things that they do to animals just so some one can enjoy a glass of milk or a cheeseburger. Right then I said that I was going to go vegan. It seemed like it would be so easy because the book gives you options on what you should eat, but when you live in a small town with no Good Food Store, there isn't a big variety of foods to choose form. Being vegan for me probably lasted about five hours. I felt like as soon as I told my self I couldn't eat something I craved it even more. Later that day I broke my diet and went and got a pork chop with ham, egg, and cheese. I think being a vegan can be fulfilling for some people but I think you should be able to eat what you want when you want it, as long as it is in proportion.

Bullet in the Brain!

I thought that Bullet in the Brain was a sad story. Throughout the story I thought that Anders was very rude and cynical. But when you hear about all the things that he didn't even think of before he died it made me feel really sad and sorry for him. Right when the robbers came in to the bank he didn't even seem phased by how his actions of being so arrogant could affect the other people in the bank. Anders could have lived if he would have just kept quite but instead he had to run his mouth and in the end it got him killed. I think it is sad how much it seemed like he didn't care if he lived or not. He had a daughter to live for and think of, and he also had people in his life that he cared about but was too selfish to remember them before he died. I did feel bad for him though because I feel like his life didn't go exactly how he might have wanted it to turn out and that is easy for anyone to relate to.

10 Again

It is 11:10 on Monday morning and I am sitting in Mrs. Brozovich's class. I cannot keep my eyes off the clock because we are five minutes away from going to lunch then out to recess, the best parts of the day. Right when the clock hits 11:15 I run out the class room dorm with my two best friends Jordan and Kaila. All three of us are eating hot lunch today because it is the pizza and the pizza is the best! Right when the mean lunch lady with the hair net hands us our food we run to the fifth grade table, where all of our friends from the other class sit. While we eat we talk about what we should play during recess that day. I suggest playing hop scotch, Jordan wants to go watch the boys play football like always, and Kaila thinks we should go on the swings. My other friend Katrina who is in another class thinks we should play in the tube slide, and we all agree that would be fun.

As we are leaving the cafeteria Jordan yells "last one there is a rotten egg" so we all ran as fast as we could there. Jordan is the first one that gets to the tube slide, then I got there right after here, Katrina was next, and Kaila got there last. Since Kaila got there last we make her go down the slide first and stay there so we can all pile in and go down together. Out of the corner of my eye I see the recess monitor walking towards us, she is always getting mad at us for something. As she is coming closer we all try to fool her by hiding in the slide. Then we all here her yelling, "You girls, how many times do I have to tell you? No sitting in the slide." Katrina starts laughing so we all slide down. She is standing there waiting for us with a mean look on her face. Then she says, "Your all on the wall for the rest of recess." Kaila looks at her, "NOT THE WALL!" The wall is where you have to stand if you get in trouble and it is not very fun because we can't talk to our friends when we are on the wall. Right when we get to the wall the recess bell rings. "YES" we all scream. We lucked out today but now we have to go back up to Mrs. Brozovich's class and go to science, I would have rather been stuck on that gross wall.

Personality Test

In the Enneagram personality test I was given a three. The first thing that the it said about being a three was that I had to be impressive and attractive to be happy. The three is also referred to as the the achiever. The achiever is energetic, optimistic, self assured, and goal oriented. To get along with a three is a happy medium of making them feel loved but also leaving them alone when they have work to get done. Three's love honesty, they like to be told when you are proud of them, and they also like to hear how much you enjoy their company. Three's are able to move forward after a set back, we are good at being friendly and upbeat, and we are also good at motivating people. Three's have a fear of not being successful, they also always compare their selves to other people who are more successful.

I think that the personality test matched me up very well, but some things were a little off. I love it when people are honest with me but at the same time when they are to honest I get defensive about things. I have a big group of friends and would rather go out then be home alone but when I have to get something done I need my alone time too. I agree that three's are optimistic, upbeat and friendly because I believe that I am all of those or at least try to be. The three is called the achiever, but I don't achieve to the best of my ability in everything I do. I compare everything I do however to all of my friends and try to be as good if not better then them at the things we do together. I also love to motivate people. I believe that anyone can do anything they set their mind to, and as much as I compare I always like to see my friends and the people I love succeed. Over all I think that the three was very accurate for my personality.

About Me!

Hey everyone! To start off my name is Tess Vucurovich. I was born and raised in Butte Montana which everyone there likes to refer to as Butte, America. I am a freshman this year and I love it so far. I went to high school at Butte High. While I was there I was a involved in cheerleading and the pep club. Cheerleading was a fun sport to be involved in because I met a lot of the friends I have today through that, and it was always fun being in the front row for all the sports activities. Cheerleading also got me involved in community work in Butte that I actually enjoyed doing.

I decided to come here for college because I have always loved the atmosphere of Missoula. I have been coming here since I was a little kid to watch the football games so I became a huge fan of the Griz. I love all the school spirit that the U has and the different things there are to do around the campus. Right now I live in Jesse Hall. I thought I would hate it because of how small it is but I actually love it. I became close friends with all the girls on my floor and that makes it really easy to be here and not get homesick. And I'm looking forward to this semester and this class!
