You know those mornings when it's really hard to get out of bed, everything is just right. The temperature, the blankets, pillows, maybe someone special, etc. And the alarm goes off, hit the snooze button, and then it goes off again. Finally dragging yourself out of bed to go workout (in my case today). I had one of those mornings today, but I got ( Read more... )

Okay, so I've been student teaching. So I'm sick, or it's allergies...still not sure but leaning towards common cold variety. Ahhh, the joys of being a teacher. It takes a year or two to build up antibodies to mass amounts of children and their germs.

Anyways...a few things.

One really amazing thing Stephen taught me today...something he just ( Read more... )

Writing papers sucks, like seriously writing academic research based papers is getting really old and tiring. Luckily I'm almost done, and after these last two are finished the only one's left are my comps. Which I take to graduate instead of writing a thesis. All the writing I've been doing academically has one left little time or desire for ( Read more... )

Sorry I've been MIA, it's the last week of school and I've been really busy writing papers and finishing projects.

I worked out last week on Monday and Tuesday, I honestly don't remember what I did at this point, I remember running a mile after working out.

Thanksgiving was great, it was my cheat day. I took the whole day too. It was awesome.

We are curios as humans, we have a natural desire to learn, we as humans enjoy puzzles, "big" questions (Are there aliens?, Could we live on Mars?, etc.) we want to know about each other too. I've noticed lately that people are curious, we like gossip, look at all the stupid celebrity tabloid magazines out there. We as people are curious.

I'm in a random mood, so this may bounce around. :-)

Current frequent foods:
