The Start of the the Weekend... College-wise that is.

I have heard and read everywhere that Thursday is the official start of the weekend in college. I wonder how true that is? All I know is that I don't have class until 10 then to noon and I'm done. 10 may sound early but remember I've been waking up for 8 am classes all week. Speaking of classes...

It turns out that apparently there's been a bug with the email service that hasn't allowed a lot of students to get mail. It's wonderful that I find that out the night before I need something and no one can send it to me. Thankfully, I talked to my teacher and I hope she understood. I emailed her through my gmail and she sent me the link this afternoon. Since we're on the subject of Individual Health Fitness, I'd like to mention the lab today. We need to do some tests like the 12 minute walk run, curl ups, etc. I thought I did pretty well for the running until I checked online. It turns out I only did average, which is okay but I thought I would have done better!
Today I ran 1.36 miles for 12 minutes. It's good to do at least a little everyday right?

Ugh. I feel liked I've been punched in the ribs. That ab workout in Weight Training got to me!

Before I forget! Bi-mart night was wild! There were so many people there, it was insane! It was pretty much deals on things and free stuff, including this cute little guy!


Nothing relieves stress like a cute fat panda.


Do you ever have those moments where you know you messed up, but it's not so bad because everyone else messed up? That is exactly what happened in Literature of the Western World today. We had to write this mini essay due today, and these are some of the mistakes that happened...
"Wait, we NEED page numbers?"
"What do you mean it was MAXIMUM of 1 1/2 pages?" -(me)
"I thought our names needed to be on the left side."
"...I just didn't do it."
So we all made a mistake. Fortunately I don't think it was really a big deal. I hope.

My cousin Ali is coming to visit me tonight! It should be fun. She goes to school in Salem and we are both freshmen, so we try to stick together on what's current.


I would like to say one last thing before I end this entry. A few days ago I was getting my key out to unlock the stair area when one of my hall mates opened it for me.She said she was just going to use the elevator to go upstairs but I convinced her to walk up with me. Today I saw that same hall mate using the elevator to go downstairs. Now, I live on the 4th floor of my dorm. I understand that walking up four flights of stairs can be tiresome, but walking down the stairs isn't that difficult! It just kind of disappoints me to see that people can't make the effort to simply use the stairs even if it's only when going down. It's a little something that helps you be a teeny bit healthier every day.

So please you guys, use the stairs. Like my PE131 teacher quoted, "Health is our biggest wealth." So use it wisely!
Have a wonderful start to your college weekend!

Study, Study, Study.

Hello out there blogging world! How are all of you today?

Today has been quite a day. It's definitely not one of my better social days, that's for sure.

Walked down to Dutch Bros with Danyon before class today. I was so paranoid that I was going to be late for class, but it all turned out fine. I got the only coffee drink that I have enjoyed called a blended grasshopper.

I actually worked out in Weight Training today. It was good, but the very last thing we did kicked my butt.

After class I ran! I went to the fitness center and ran on the treadmill 2.74 miles for 30 minutes. That's not too bad! Okay, it's pretty slow. But I did run continuously!

Here's the rest of my day:
  • Took a shower
  • Watched Glee while filling out a sheet
  • English Homework
  • Dinner
That's been about it. Homework. Yes, I am boring. Everything's been fine today until now though. So apparently this guy in my history class asked something about did I get the email for PE 131? I had not. So I've been trying to figure it out and just now I found out that my WOU email account has a bug that won't allow me to receive emails. I have the class in 12 hours, and I'm freaking out. I hate when stupid B.S. like this happens. I emailed my professor through my Gmail and I seriously want her to reply back to it. Right now my mind can't think about anything else.

Now that my homework (other than that damn email thing) is all done for tomorrow, I'm going to go to this Bi-Mart night thing going on tonight. It just sucks, you know?

The Feeling of My Mind Overflowing

Hm. Odd title, but what are you gonna do?

Today has definately been a hectic day to say the least. I feel like I've been going and going all day, and it's not gonna stop until I go to bed.

This morning was a tired kind of morning. I woke up early automatically which was a good thing because it turns out I forgot to set my 7 alarm and set it for 7:20! Wouldn't have been horrible, but still. Classes!

Individual Health/Fitness
My GOSH this woman went through information way too quickly. It was a bit stressful.

Freshmen Year Experience
Now this is a ridiculous class. Seriously, it felt like I was in bucket list class. Perhaps it was from being sleepy that I was bored by this class, but it's ridiculous. Pretty much one of the assignments is what I'm doing with this blog, saying 28 things I want to do before I graduate college. What grade are we in again?

Literature of the Western World: Greco-Roman
This class seems interesting, but it's gonna be a tough one. There's a lot of reading and the teacher seems very particular though nice.

The homework is now beginning to pile up in the calendar. I'm on time as of now, but soon I'm gonna have to start buckling down and not get distracted. There are other factors that get in the way though...

Remember that tryout that I talked about? Well... I got a callback! That's the reason this entry is so late. Plus, I was busy ya know? Okay, the play. It was so exciting to get a callback. It was crazy though because there are some amazing talents here at WOU. How fun! I missed Glee unfortunately. It will be on Hulu tomorrow though!
Random things... I tried a tofu wrap today in Valsets. It wasn't shabby!


Delicious!
 Another cool thing, I received my first letter at college today! It was from my friend Diana who I haven't talked to in FOREVER. We were both really busy this summer.

Isn't the envelope cute! She's an artsy kid too.
 Well it's time for me to take a shower, rewrite my questions for History so the look nice, and probably go to bed. (Yeah, how cool of a college kid am I? I can't help it, I have to get up early in the morning!)

What is the most ridiculous class you've ever had in college? Did you party hard or study hard?
