The Tally

Alicia : 10
Zombie: 100

*************************************************************************************
As suggested by a friend, I will keep a tally of my "wins" versus the accolades of the undead.

How, do you ask, is this possible when zombies do not actually roam the earth? (As far as you know...)

Well, whenever I experience an iota of hope or moment of accomplishment (which will invariably able me to survive the zombie takeover), I get a point. When I fail (crushingly), my mind seems to melt into zombie soup, and my actions unfailingly lead to certain lack of undead survival, well, you get the picture.

With every update, I'll put forth a biting explanation.

**********************************************************************************
Zombie point 1: rejected from graduate school on my BIRTHDAY! This will surely lead to an overindulgence in everything sweet and therefore will undo my vague attempts at physical training. Boo to you academia....

Me point 1: Got netflix for birthday. I can now study the zombie via numerous documentaries errr movies and thus learn their sneaky, lumbering ways...

Me point 2: Great support from friends and like 100 new "views" on blog since yesterday. I think at least 25 aren't from me ;)

Zombie point 2-4: Don't ask.

Zombie point 5: Frustration. I will prevail and once I do, I will afford myself a point.

Me point 3-4: Visiting wonderful family and friends and planning on adventurer training with my sister-in-law. This will assuredly translate into successful zombie survival skills. Sadly, I must return home soon--at least I'll be happy to see someone special!

Zombie point 6: Grading composition papers.....takes all of my brainpower leaving nothing but mushy brain goo behind. On second thought...

Me point 5: Mushy brain goo due to grading = zombies uninterested in using me as a lunchable!

Zombie point 7: painful week where the pain meant nothing. I super dislike this and it makes me want to swim in a sea of zombies (sorta).

Me: I've managed to lose 14 pounds since May and my jeans are falling off my .....

Zombies: Semester has restarted. I gave the little undead creepies as many points as papers I've already had to comment on. It's only been four weeks.
