Okay, Amy... here you go.

So things haven't been going that well in either the gaining of dates or the losing of weight. I haven't been going to meeting or eating healthy-like. I haven't written too many e-mails (the two I have sent have yet to garner a reply).

So a friend and I are looking to go to New York City in April. Not seeing many nice, cheap hotels in Manhattan (does such a thing exist?), I've been looking at short-term apartment rentals. Of course, my friend still has to ask for the time off, so who knows if this trip will even happen...

Any advice on dieting, dating and drifting would be most appreciated.
