Missed Geo today

I had such a great day yesterday, and then today I didn't do so well. I don't know why, but today I was down. I called Geo, and talked to him for a bit. Just hearing his voice makes me feel better. I didn't talk to him for too long, since my stepdad had just asked me to look some stuff up online when he called, but it was still nice to hear his voice. I didn't do much today since I wasn't feeling well. I just stayed in bed for most of the day. I went for my walk again.. I don't know how far I went or anything, I haven't looked it up yet. I guess I should do that now. I walked 1.42 miles in 39 minutes, so that's an average of 27 minutes a mile. I'm doing good at walking the hills. I think I will do better on the hills than I do on the flat ground of Miami. The only difference is that I can walk a lot farther on flat ground than on hills. I have trouble keeping my breath when I walk the hills. I guess that's how it goes when you do cardio. I do like jogging the downhills, and fighting the uphills. It makes me feel good to fight that uphill.
I don't know why I was depressed today. It could be a combination of all the bad stuff that I've been fighting over the past couple of weeks, like those graphic scenes from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Or it could be that I just miss Geo. It's been 2 weeks since I've seen him, and we talk on the phone but that's not the same. I don't know how we did it before when we dated long distance. I don't know how much longer I can go without seeing him. I just miss him so much. I guess I have to wait one more week. I have to. I go home next Thursday. I don't know why, but I have a feeling that seeing my friend Julio yesterday made me miss him more since he reminds me of Geo a bit. I don't know.... they are both quiet, nice, and all that, but I miss my Geo. Nobody can replace my Geo.
I guess I know some of the reasons why I was depressed, but I don't know what I can do to get over it. I can call Geo. I'm going down to USC tomorrow, so I have something to get me out of bed. I have plans on Sunday too, so the next couple of days I should be okay. It's much harder to be depressed when I have something to do. I guess I should have made more plans for daytime stuff, since most of the stuff I've been doing has been at night. I just don't know what to do during the day since most of my friends are working or in school. I guess I now know for next year when I come out to try and make plans for daytime stuff. That, and to try and have more stuff planned before I come out. It's hard, since most of my friends wanted to plan stuff after I got here, but if I persist, I guess I can get them to commit. I did most of my stuff the first week I was out here, but I needed more time to spend with my family. I hope I get to see my Nana again.
I have to call my aunt tomorrow. She is supposed to let me know if I can come to see my Nana next Wednesday. I want to go in the morning and come back early in the afternoon so I can go to sleep early for my flight on Thursday. I have to be up around 3:30am or something crazy like that, so I want to go to sleep around 6pm. I'm going to need to take klonopin, and I hope that it's the next time I have to take it. I don't like taking it, but I had to take it last night since I had tea so late it got me all worked up. I should know better than to have caffeine so late, but I love my tea latte from the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.
Food today was good... I wasn't too hungry today since I was depressed. I did make my calories and all my mini goals (carbs, protein, and fat) were in range. I had oatmeal and toast for breakfast, tomato soup with basil and ground beef for lunch, and salad with tuna along with spaghetti for dinner. I had to eat the tuna since I was low on protein, and tuna is high on protein but low on fat. Plus, it's the good fat, the fish oil that I should be eating. I just kinda threw some stuff together for dinner, since I wasn't too hungry before I ate, and then when I did eat I got hungry. I hate it when that happens. I had a bowl of salad, and then I had another bowl, then the tuna, and then the spaghetti. I'm still kinda hungry, but I'm going to go to sleep like this since I don't want to eat any more. I've had enough for the day. I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but I hope to get some shirts or something at USC. I just also want to walk around campus to see any changes since I've been there. I will see tomorrow!
