Well Friday certainly was an interesting day. You know how I said that four hours of sleep would bite me in the butt? I'm not sure if it was necessarily due to the lack of sleep, but I'd like to think that affected me much earlier than I expected it to.
The day started quite differently than usual, but it wasn't because of the lack of sleep. On Friday I had a human physiology lab to attend to in the cadaver lab. Definitely not the usual.
When I heard that we would be touring a cadaver lab, it spooked me a little bit. Were we going to see people who looked like they had just died? I didn't want to see that. Seeing someone that looks like they could have been living recently with their stomach cut open sounds terrifying.
Luckily for me, the cadavers looked like the ones from the Body Works display. Have you ever gone to Body Works? It's fascinating. My favorite ones were the bodies with all of the nerves and the obese profile. Anywho, I digress.
The point is, I wasn't freaked out when I was in the lab. I looked at the bodies. I felt a pair of lungs. Everything was fine. Until my head started spinning. And started to burn up. And my vision started blurring, which soon became the inability to see, or at least barely see.
As you can probably guess, I'm fine now. I made sure I left the room before I passed out or anything, because who knows?
Weirdly enough, I was more worried about everyone thinking I was a pansy. "Oh, she had to leave because the bodies creeped her out." No! I swear it wasn't from that!
I don't know what exactly happened, but I think I was inhaling the embalming fluid fumes too much. As soon as I left the room, I felt better. Therefore, I think it was that.
What the heck is that? I used to be the girl who never got sick from the usual suspects and nothing could stop me in my tracks (health-wise, that is). Now, I'm being affected by fumes, I'm allergic to new things including possibly weather, and I've never had these problems before. Is it getting older? I didn't think you were supposed to have these problems in your early twenties. (Jeez, when did that become a thing anyways? Technically 20 is early twenties, but still.)
As for this weekend, I've totally had some ups and downs. I've had some fun with people, but I've also dealt with unneeded stress that I caused myself. Obviously I didn't do it on purpose, but it happens. Also, when you take a step back to look at everything happening in your life recently (instead of just the bad things), you realize that life isn't as awful as you imagined it to be. "Suck it up buttercup," you say to yourself. (Yeah, I should probably stop having an internal monologue here.)
I've been so happy about the beautiful weather lately. Have y'all been having gorgeous weather? Seriously, I'm loving it.
Does anyone out there use Blogger? How do you feel about the change? I'm not a fan, but maybe it'll grow on me. That's all from me.
Have you ever seen a dead body? Where was it, and how did you feel about it?

Eating Your Veggies
As school creeps closer, the planning for how I'm going to eat when I'm back to the apartment.
I spent part of today cutting up fruit and veggies, as to have them ready when I need them. One of the easiest ways to eat healthy? Cut up things in advanced. Obvious information, right? Still, we tend to forget.
One healthy habit that I want to try this term? Eating more vegetarian meals. I used to not eat very many vegetarian meals simply due to the fact that many I found didn't have very good sources of protein. For me, I need protein. If I don't, I tend to get hungry again quickly. The types of meals I saw were just a lot of cheese, or maybe only some veggies as substitutes. Not good.
However, during this last term I happened to make some veggie-only curry and you know what? It kept me satisfied. Another time vegetarian food filled me up was last year when I had a tofu wrap from WOU's cafeteria. It tasted good because it had different flavors, and more texture than mushy tofu. I just need to make vegetarian food with proteins like beans and tofu. I mean, I've already been having vegetarian meals for breakfast almost every morning.
At the same time, I don't ever want to go full on vegetarian. For one, I like meat far too much. Pulled pork? Yumm... The other reason is that I don't want to be limited on what I can eat.
I know. I KNOW. The whole vegetarian community shouts out at that comment, "You're never limited! There are plenty of ways to eat vegetarian, and you actually get a chance to be more creative!" And I agree, many vegetarians I've seen are a lot more creative with food. Still, I hate the idea of going somewhere I having to say, "Oh, I can't eat that because..." I mean, you'd never be able to be a judge on Iron Chef America!
Actually, I'd probably never be able to do that now that I'm allergic to shrimp and crab. Yes, I will bitch about that until the day I die. (Then again, what would my chances of being a judge be in the first place? I can dream, can't I?)
Anywho. Back to the whole vegetarian meals thing. I'd like to make a few more meals veggie for two reasons: Cost and health. Meat is always what adds up in my grocery list. That... and veggies. But things like lentils and garbanzo beans? Cheap cheap. At the same time, I've been seeing a lot of things talking about how it's good to incorporate vegetarian meals to improve your health.
More vegetarian meals. That's the plan.
Although in all reality, I'm probably going to end up making scrambled eggs for most meals again like last term. 'Cause I'm like a sad bachelor who happens to bake bread.
How often do you eat vegetarian/Are you vegetarian? What influences you to eat vegetarian or meat?

Cancelled Class and Not So Healthy Eating
Ah, don't you love it when luck is on your side?
For me, that luck came in the form of class being cancelled. I don't know why it was cancelled, but it was good for me. I ended up working on Spanish homework all day though... So did it really matter?
(Yes. Yes it did. Because I needed time to work on the stuff.)
I'll be honest with y'all. Despite working on eating healthy most of the time, there are days where all I want to eat is junk food. Hey, sometimes I'll eat junk instead of real food. Not both, just instead. Sometimes I'll eat junk and good food. I think one of the benefits of still being fairly young is that I can eat pretty terribly some days and not completely destroy myself. Or maybe it's the running. Then again, sometimes it's the crappy food that messes with my running. Ah, I dunno.
So I don't eat the greatest sometimes. Which is a big reason I'm not doing a health blog. That, and I don't know how to cook healthy food (let alone any type of food, really).
Yeah, I'll admit I could eat cookies instead of a real meal. Which I have done before. Recently.
What not so healthy activities do you partake in?

Body Image, Tests, and Not Being Dressed For the Weather
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone? Did you have Mexican food (or something else) in honor of the day?
Do you ever have those days where you just don't know if there are plans that are supposed to happen in the future you should know about? That's currently what my mindset is like. I like having things planned, but for now? Don't really know what plans I have.
Body image is a very odd thing. Why do we happen to care so much about how we look? Lately, I've been thinking about that. Lately, I've been having a skewed view on my body image. I currently weigh the same amount that I have been, but it feels like when I look in the mirror, my weight goes all to my stomach, and I look like I weigh a lot more.
The thing is, I'm at a perfectly acceptable weight for my size. My BMI is actually on the lower side of the scale. Yet, why do I care so much about body image? Really, why does anyone?
The only people who are required to really be thin are actors and models. For any other type of career, there's nothing wrong with being at a normal size. Then why do the rest of us need to be small? Isn't being at a healthy weight enough?
Apparently not. All I can say is that I'm lucky to be at a healthy weight, even though I'm not actress skinny. (Truthfully, I think it's because I'm not toned.)
That's just a little thing I've been thinking about lately.Other than that, I've just been worried about my two tests tomorrow. Oh, and how I apparently can't dress for weather. Yesterday when the sun was shining, I was wearing black pants. Today I decided to bare my legs, and it was cold all day.

Reasons for Health and Lack of Interaction
When we work towards being healthy or fit, we usually have to ask ourselves what we're doing it for. Are we trying to look good for an event we've been invited to, or maybe for a career? There are many reasons why people want to stay fit.
My reason? I feel better. When I'm in not so great of shape, I usually don't feel very good. I guess this is an obvious thing, but sometimes you realize that you never knew how good you felt until you weren't at that same level. It's like being sick. You don't realize how sweet it is to be healthy until you start the sniffling and coughing.
Why do I like to run? Because my body has shown me that I can.
Although eating a bunch of cookies tonight? Probably not on the right track to feeling fit. Still, they were delicious.
Nothing much to say for the day, simply 'cause it was a mostly do nothing day. Did some homework, lounged about... Although I almost went crazy from the lack of human interaction. There was no one around! And if they were around, they weren't looking to chat.
Also, thanks for all of the advice from yesterday! I guess I shouldn't let it worry me as long as I'm actually working hard, but I just do. Hearing rational thoughts from others helps.

Busy days and First Impressions
Oof. What a day it's been. Busy busy busy! The start of a very busy week, that's for sure.
There was class like normal, then a quick lunch led by meeting with the Spanish teacher to get signed up for Spanish 102. She suggested I sit in her 2:00 201 class. That meant showering quickly, then running into her class. Honestly, I felt like I could understand for the most part. Although I wish there was a class in between 102 and 201 happening next term, because that would feel the best. For the rest of the day I've been studying for my Health test tomorrow and finishing up my English reading.
There was also a meeting for the One Act thrown in at 5:30. That was... awkward, simply because my fatigue from the day made me sound like an idiot. Ugh. First impressions with the other guy? Not the greatest. I pulled off a pretty legit dumb blond facade.
It's felt like I have not stopped going... but I'm ready to crash. I'm a little worried about the test, but I'm always worried. Getting a good night's sleep will help, and I can study a little extra in the morning.
...There is yelling and screaming happening outside. Damn you 1st Taylor, you guys are always super obnoxious.
Tomorrow is the Turkey Trot and a benefit concert in Corvallis that I promised to go to. Only a few more days!
What are your busy days like?

The Obsession With Pumpkin
The week draws to a close, and the weekend approaches with much anticipation! Who else is pumped?
This morning during Individual Health Fitness, we did yoga. Around the blog world, Yoga seems to be one of the most incredible things ever created. That along with Whole Foods and oatmeal My verdict? Not my thing. Yes, there are some poses that are enjoyable to me such as the Warrior poses. Unfortunately, my workout mentality is that I want to be continuously doing something, so that time flies by. Yoga is definitely not that. Perhaps I should give it a chance, especially since I've been trying to incorporate some flexibility exercises into my life... We'll just see.
Since we're on the subject of workouts, today's run was the type of workout that I just wanted to get the 4 miles in as quickly as possible. My time? 35.3 minutes! Booyah! Plus I played a little tennis today. What a workout day!
It's been one of those days where I've been ravenous all day! (Gee, looking at what's written above, I wonder why...) I also have to write up a dietary analysis of what I've been eating. Isn't it always when you're at your worst that people end up watching what you do? It's one of the rules of the universe.
Autumn has come in full swing, seeing as it's already November. The leaves are falling, the days are cool, and holiday spirit is creeping into people. One of the favorite subjects on everyone's mind during this time are the fall treats that come around. The biggest fall food celebrity? That would be the pumpkin. People become OBSESSED with pumpkin everything.Pumpkin themed foods? It's on. Pumpkin flavored beverages at Starbucks? Mass hysteria. And how could you miss pumpkin pie? When Valsets first served pumpkin pie, I was informed multiple times with sheer excitement. All this talk of pumpkin may have you wondering, "Where is she going with this?" Well, it's simple. I'm not a fan of pumpkin.
GASP! Who isn't a fan of pumpkin?! Me, that's who. I just don't understand the hype. Perhaps it is such a big deal due to the fact that it's only available at certain times. It's a special treat that gives you good vibes. Maybe I just don't have that loving vibe. Or maybe I just haven't had the perfect pumpkin treat. Truthfully, I used to really like pumpkin pie. Now it's eh, even a little icky.
I just thought I would talk about this since there's so much love for the strange orange gourd. It's a bit overwhelming. Am I simply missing something big here?
Personally, I'd rather go for something that has cream cheese or chocolate.
This blog is feeling too middle-school journally for me, so I thought I would write something a little different. Honestly, I need to work on my writing skills anyways. I'll try to write about something different as much as possible, to give this blog a little variety!
Hope y'all have a lovely evening. I might actually *gasp* get some homework done early! Madness.

Writing Essays and Taking Tests
It's times like these when I start losing track of what day it is... But I remember that it's Tuesday, and I have an essay due on Thursday that I'm getting help with tomorrow. Should probably get farther on it, but I think I've gotten decently far...
I think I did decently on the test in health today. I'm always nervous about how I do, but I feel good.
It's one of those days where nothing too exciting happened today. All I can think of is that I ran 4 miles in 36.5 minutes on the treadmill today, woohoo! The rest of the day has been about work and class... yeah, cool kid here!
I suppose I also watched the new episode of Glee. It was wonderful.
I can't wait until the weekend, but there's so much to get done before then! See ya'll later!
How do you test?

Studying Health and Murder Mysteries
My brain feels like an already soaked sponge right now. I'm trying to get it to soak up more information, but nothing is staying in there. Anywho...
Oof, this is gonna be one wild week. I have a test in Individual Health/Fitness tomorrow and I've been trying to study for it all day when avaliable. Right now I'm in the library studying for it more, but I just needed a break. So here we are, with a new blog entry! I'm so giving, ha.
Let's see what is due this week for me:
On the social side of life, my room mate and I went to this murder mystery game this evening. It was so much fun! The cast was silly, fun, and there were a lot of ridiculous dirty jokes. The coolest thing that happened was that I was the only one who guessed the murderer right! I even got a prize of a little certificate and a cheap magnifying glass, how fun!
I hope that I do well on the test tomorrow. I feel like I need to study more, even though I've already made what feels like a million flashcards:
Pish. Does it really matter if I know what the steps of working towards a lifestyle change are? (Right now probably not since I don't want to be tested on it, but maybe later in life?)
Before I sign off, I want to involve myself with something I saw in the blog Finding Fitness- Day by Day. The thing she talked about was for National Coming Out Day that happened awhile ago. Basically, you come out as something, it doesn't need to be about sexuality. It can be personality wise, body image wise, whatever. I haven't really been sure what to come out as, but I think I can come out as this: I'm coming out as being Undecided and being happy about it. Of course, I've been talking about this a lot. I don't know exactly what I want to do as a career yet, and it's scary. But you know what? It's okay to feel like that. Millions of people are like that. There are people who are middle aged and still don't know what they want to do. It's good that I'm admitting that now and not years later when I already have a lot of credits for a major that I realize I don't like. I'm planning to get mainly my required credits done first and throwing in some random classes that interest me. This works well for me. Maybe I'll find out what I want to do sooner than I think.
It seems that's all from me. It's time to go back to studying health. Joyful...

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!
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!
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!

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:
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?

- Took a shower
- Watched Glee while filling out a sheet
- English Homework
- Dinner
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!
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.
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?
