Great movie!

So this evening I watched Spirit of the Marathon, and it was amazing! Granted if you're a runner, especially a marathoner (or future marathoner!!!), you'll appreciate it on a different level. It was such a great description of how you go through these huge highs and lows not only during the race, but also throughout training and really even life for that matter. As I was watching it I kept thinking, I should be training for my marathon, I really should be running right now. I was so pumped up, and decided that even though it won't be easy to add in a space for running, I really need to do that again and get back into a routine. Not sure when exactly I'm planning on running a marathon, but I figure that I'll at least get back into shape and go from there. We'll see if there are any good races around the area, and maybe I'll put a little added interest in it.

Tomorrow I start another round of classes, so back to getting up early, and learning about all kinds of things. Hopefully tomorrow morning will come easier than I expect, but I have a feeling after being able to sleep in until 8 am for the past several days it isn't going to be fun! Well, for now...

Over and out!
Lo!

Grades & Ramblings!

Well, I got my grades back, and all is good! I passed my three classes with 2 A's and a B, so now on to my next classes. No real time to actually relax much. Classes start on Wednesday, but I really should start looking through notes for A&P. I won't get through much, but I figure some is better than none at all! I'm feeling a little under the weather so I'm taking is easy today, and have some throat lozenges already to go because it doesn't seem like it will take much longer before I'll need them. Hopefully I can get ride of this before it really kicks me hard.

Nothing much beyond studying and classes are consuming my life as of late. My next break is Thanksgiving, which will only be a couple days, so I won't be able to travel home. After that though, I'll have my Christmas break, which I'll have a couple weeks off so I'll be home for a little bit at least! Alrighty, well I feel like I'm rambling on...maybe it's time to try and take a nap! Over and out!

Lo!

Finished with finals...for now...

Today was my last final for this round of classes and I couldn't be more excited that it's over with...yes I know more is just around the corner but I'm going to enjoy this little break! So as of right now I don't have to study, at least for a little while! I won't get my grades until early next week, but I know I passed all my classes with good grades (A's or B's). Next on the agenda...lots of sleep, relaxing, maybe work on my art piece a little more, etc. Next Wednesday I start my next round of classes which will consist of Organic Chemistry II, Anatomy & Physiology, and Health Science Terminology. I feel like this will be a little bit of a lighter load than this previous one, but will still challenge me in ways that I don't even know of yet.

Somehow in the last couple weeks despite all of the studying, I managed to start and finish a book, and I don't mean a text book, but one of my own choosing! It was a really great book, and short which was kind of nice too. I highly recommend you check it out too! It's called 200 Pomegranets and an Audiance of One by Shawn Wood. I also decided to treat myself to some new music from Trace Bundy because it's awesome music, especially to study too, plus he just came out with a new CD! Check out Missle Bell you'll enjoy it!


Okay, well until next time...

Over and out!
Lo!

Tea & "Kah"!?

So the time here is 12:40 am Thursday morning, and I'm still up. This after a long night of studying mixed with a pumpkin spice latte from starbucks, and multiple glasses of crazy strong tea....or as my study partner said, "Jet fuel tea!" Pretty much the truth though! We are pretty much done studying at this point but now with all the caffine running through my veins sleep surely isn't going to happen anytime in the near future. I think I may be up reading for a while hoping to relax my mind enough to where I can get some sleep before my final in O-Chem.

On a different note, I now have a new name...no not literally but my friend's daughter, who is about 18 months old, calls me, "Kah". A little strange I know, but I'm pretty sure this is because the first night that I was hanging out with her I was drawing cars on her little drawing board and she wanted me to keep drawing them, and kept saying "car" which sounds more like "kah", and so became my name. It's hilarious though because we'll say, who's "...." and she would say their name, or at least what she has named them. Then we'll get to me, and she'll literally almost whisper, "Kah".

That's really all that's been happening lately, I'll update after finals on how things went. Until next time....

Over and out!
Lo!
"Kah"

A short update...

Okay, so this is going to be rather short because this week is crazy busy and I probably shouldn't take much time out from studying right now. This week is finals week and from the looks of it they aren't going to be a cake walk. I already have one out of the way, and did okay. Had I actually put some time and effort into some studying I could have pulled a better grade, but I knew I'd do fine, so all my studying has gone into chemistry. I've got a final Wednesday morning and my last one Thursday morning. Thankfully I'll have Friday off, which means I'll be sleeping in! A few of my friends and I were talking about going camping this weekend, but I'm not sure if that's going to happen anymore because it's supposed to be in the mid-upper 30's, with a chance of snow as well! Now I wouldn't mind it too much, but we would have a sweet little 18 month old with us and that just wouldn't be so great. So camping now might have to wait until next spring/summer. Well, I need to get going....

Over and out!

Lo!

Naps...

Lately I've been taking naps on a some what regular basis, and by that, I mean I've taken a couple naps within the last couple weeks. It's been pretty amazing, the only unfortunate thing is that some of these days have been out of necessity either because of the huge lack of sleep from the night before, or from having a headache. At this point I'm not sure if these naps are beneficial or not yet, but at least after I get a nap, I do feel better.

Today was one of those days. I woke up and had a bit of a headache, which I think part of it had to do with the weather, however I'm sure that wasn't all of it. Anyway, so classes went on as usual, but after getting through my first class, and half of my second class, I had already made the decision that I wasn't going to my third class. So after getting home from class, I was able to finally take a nap, although it did take a while to get to sleep. Thankfully when I woke up, my headache had subsided quite a bit.

**Side note** Finals are next week, so I'll be busy studying and trying to get through all the problems in my books. Right now it looks like my finals will be on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday...so be praying please!

Over and out!

Lo!

Short and sweet....

So lately I've been hanging out over at a friends from school a ton lately...I mean it's on a pretty rare occasion that I see Val nowadays, although she's busy as well. Now the unfortunate thing is that we aren't just hanging out, mostly we're studying chemistry. Although, we're doing really well in our classes, so that's awesome! It's been really wonderful hanging out with her, and her family...I feel like I'm part of the family too, and it's great! We actually are planning on going on a camping trip in a couple weeks! I don't know how rustic this camping trip will be, but just being out in the open will be amazing! Okay, well I know this is short, but I'm about to fall asleep from the lack of sleep that I've been getting, and the huge amount of studying....so...

Over and out!

Lo!

It's been a whirlwind kind of week!

I thought being that I had the day off from school that I would post an update. The past week I had two exams which were pretty tough, but came out on the other side just fine. In preparation for the exams I went over to a friend's house to get in a few major study sessions. I ended up pulling a few really late nights and very early mornings, but it seems like it paid off! The weekend before plus the two days before the last test I think I ended up studying about 36 hours and only about 12+ hours of sleep! I really don't know how I was even functioning most of the days! It's been great hanging out with my friends from school though, even if much of the time has to do with school. It's so crazy how much I have in common with one of my friends...although it makes things kind of nice because we don't have to explain much to each other. Today we went shopping at the Legends, trying to get shirts and such for when we're in the DC program being that we are both all about t-shirts and jeans! We had a ton of fun, and even stopped by school and had some lunch (and it was free for homecoming!). Anyway, so all is good here...

Over and out!
