Summer Weather and Pushing Yourself

Oregonians have been freaking out for the past few days. Y'see, it's been sunny. Really sunny. The last few days have felt like days that are usually reserved for the month of July.

Though it's shocking, it's a fantastic thing. Everyone is loving the gorgeous weather, including me. I'm extremely tempted to clear my closet out of all of my winter clothes, but there's that possibility of being hit with terrible weather again.

For now, we enjoy the sun.

I did a boot camp class today and it kicked my ass. Wooh. It was focused on strength, one of my biggest weaknesses. I have no idea how anyone is able to do push ups  then lift a dumbbell to their chest. Even doing the pansy push ups on my knees it was difficult for me to lift them up.

One thing that stuck out to me during the workout was something the instructor said. She exclaimed, "You're doing this for you! Push yourself because you know you can do it!"

How true, huh? No one else is going to care how much you push yourself. The only one who cares about what you do for your body is you. Sure, if you have health problems others might care about what you do to your body because they don't want to lose you, but as far as getting toned? You have to push yourself.

Oh man, I need to clean. I have a pile of clean laundry that needs to be put away, but it has not happened. Once I do that, maybe I'll start on packing away the winter clothes.

What kind of weather have you been experiencing lately? Happy about it, or grumpy?

Workout Day and Grammar

Do you ever have those days where it seems like it just disappeared? Mine certainly felt that way.

Today was exercise day apparently. Hey, it was probably necessary due to the consumption of cheese and chocolate that happened yesterday. In any case, it was a workout day to me. Ran, did Zumba, did some lifting... Not a usual thing for me. Another punch card work out completed! Eighteen to go.

Once upon a time, I thought that I knew grammar. I knew the common words, I knew it's was it is, and I knew how sentences should work. Apparently I do not. There are many sentences that I believed sounded correct, when they were in fact not right at all. I've probably made some grammatical mistakes in this post already! My mother is convinced that I do know all of this stuff, but I highly doubt it.
For instance, I use the word actually all of the time. That is a word you should avoid, according to grammar class.

As long as I get a good grade, I'm happy.

For my goals, because I like to keep updated:

• Calcium+Vitamin D has been regular. Huzzah.
• Not sure how much time I spent on the computer in the last few days, but it certainly has been less. I spent a long time reading a magazine today, instead of turning on the computer. I thought the computer lack was supposed to make me more productive though... Whoops.
• One punch used!
• No money spent on soda or gum, nice.

It's a kind of random day, isn't it? Hm. I need to get ready for bed, or what's up ahead. There's a midterm in my future, and I'd like to get a head start on that know how.

Do you have good grammar? Do bad grammar habits annoy you? (I know I can't stand when people use the wrong your or there.)

A Tad Off, The Rules of the Universe, Fugitive and Calming Down

Today was just one of those days where I was a tad off. I woke up about two hours later than usual, ate breakfast and lunch two hours later, lifted weights and did planks... You get the picture.
Actually, the day was just kind of odd in general.

One of the many Rules of the Universe came into play today. The rule is, "The one day you dress down and think to yourself, 'It doesn't matter what I'm wearing right now', you will be in a situation that requires you to look decent. Strolling back to the dorms after going to the RSC, I was called out to do an interview. This was the day when I was wearing basketball shorts, sweatshirt, and the skin was not in peak condition. However, being interviewed was pretty cool! The people were recording it to show at a university conference or something to convince other schools to build eco-dorms. Afterwards, I instantly started thinking of things I could have done better,but you know what? Life goes on, and you can't change the past. I need to practice my camera skills still.

The evening was filled with a game of Fugitive. The game happened to be without cars, but it still worked. A few of my hall mates and I signed up, but guess what they did? They didn't show up. Geez, I'm seriously getting tired of people backing out on me all of the time... At least say you're not going before and not at the time of the event!
Alright, I'll stop ranting. I almost came into this post with an angry mood (all I'm going to say is people messing with my cookie dough dip), but I waited. I chilled out a bit, and here we are with a (hopefully!) calm sounding post.

Can I just say Community is one of my favorite shows ever? I might even consider it my favorite show. It seriously makes me laugh out loud for large chunks of time. ...I talk about it a lot, don't I?

Oh my goodness! I've realized that I can never have candy in my room, can I? I simply munch on it constantly! Curse you delicious butterscotches!
Have a lovely evening everyone!

When was the last time you were caught off guard?
