The Best Work Out Ever June 24, 2008

I have found the best work out ever and believe it or not it is actually fun.  I spend the day yesterday out on the lake with family and friends.  We enjoyed swimming, tubing, and just riding around out on the boat, soaking up the sun.  We were pulling two tubes behind the boat and everyone that rode tried to knock the other one off.  You dont realize how many muscles you have to use to hang on to a tube that is being slung around at about 32mph. Between that, the water, and the sun, we were all pretty beat by the time we got in the car to head home.  I had my boyfriend, Alex and his little brother rinding home with me and lets just say it was a very silent ride home, other than the radio.  However, there was no time for me to rest, as soon as I dropped them back off at home, I headed straight to church for the first night of Vacation Bible School.  Whew.. what a chore, there where 15, 5-6year olds in my group.  So here it is the best work out plan ever:  a day of tubing on the lake to work your arms and upper body followed  by a night of chasing a bunch of children around to work your legs.

 

Summer Classes June 19, 2008

Evaluation research, quasi experiments, idiographic and nomothetic methods, antidumping, price controls, the male to female ratio of college students in 2000, does anyone really need to know all of this?  Especially someone who is majoring in Health Care Administration.  While summer classes are a great way to get some credits knocked out of the way in a shorter period of time, it is also a shorter period in which to get all the work done.  Oh, what I would give to be outside on this beautiful Virginia day, soaking up the sun, laying in the pool, walking, anything than sitting in here at the computer answering discussion questions for an International Marketing class.  I do have to say though, that this assignment is much better than the one I had yesterday for SOC320, which is Sociological Research Methods which = yuck!  I just have to keep my eye on the prize, May 22, 2009!! And now that I have taken a break to share all of this, I really must get back to finishing this work.

 

Its a Wild Ride June 9, 2008

I know what can make amusement/theme parks tons of money! Maybe I should rethink my major, instead of being in Health Care maybe I should be going into Marketing.  So what is this thing that could make amusement parks a fortune you ask?  It is the newest, fastest, craziest rollercoaster ever, all they have to do is fashion it after my life and give it a catchy name.  My life is great so don’t get me wrong, but it has some of the biggest hills and steepest drops ever.  It is full of twists and turns and the occasional corkscrew and just like my life, it is going at lightening speed, even if it does not feel like it sometimes.  I am buckled in and hanging on tight, because its one wild and beautiful ride!

 

And the Search is on June 3, 2008

I was informed yesterday by my boyfriend that I need a hobby.  I was talking to him and was pretty bummed out about not getting to see him this weekend, when he told me I needed to stop worrying about him and do something for myself, like get a hobby.  So now I am in search of a hobby.  The only thing is I have absolutely no idea what it could possibly be.  He threw out a few ideas, but none of them really had that “ah-ha” moment.  I mean, I can think of a few hobbies that I would really enjoy, like shopping, making wreaths, or travelling, but someone better loan me their credit card for any of those.  So let me know if any of ya’ll have splendid hobby ideas, until then I will keep searching and let you know if I find one.
