(no subject)
Just got back from Cali, so refreshing!!! I got to see my grandpa who I hadn't been to visit in 4 years. Now that i have a real job and resources... I need to go visit more often.
I started classes for my MBA a couple weeks ago, we already had an exam last week while I was gone... so now I need to play catch up. This 9 week course thing is very fast paced! I was looking into some of their programs and I think they have a couple study abroad options (like 1 or 2 week courses) that I am considering. I need 3 electives, so that will count there. I think there are only 2 places that are offered for MBA students. Europe and China. As much as I'd love to see Europe, I am thinking of going for the China option. I can always go to Europe when I get older, but China would be somewhere I would never consider if just traveling for vacation. It's kind of a scary place and they don't speak English there (which I know they don't in a lot of Europe, but I think a tourist would have an easier time than in China). Plus I think I would get more out of it if I was traveling with a school group. Now I just need to start doing some more research and make it happen! I hope it's not more than 2 weeks... cause I don't think I could get away from missing that much work in a row.
Other than school... nothing really new. I have been kicking my ass and going to the gym at least 5 times a week. But this past week put me back. I so desperately want to feel normal again. I hate that the whole Jim break-up thing is just written all over my body like this. I feel like my fatness is screaming "I am depressed and pathetic and ate my way through depression". I just want to get back to normal... it would even be nice if I can get close to what I was when I graduated high school. Although I know that's a long shot... But rather than just telling myself that I need to lose "x" amount of pounds, I am setting the goal that I want to run a half marathon by sometime this fall. I have a girl from work who has already agreed to train with me. It's one of those revenge things of mine. Jim and I talked about doing a half marathon together, but I think he didn't really belive that I could or would. So I need to prove to myself that I can. Just like when I was told by a high school boyfriend that I wasn't smart enough for him, well I think I got my proof on that one. I just get a strong passion out of doing what I need to get that revenge. Ok so that wasn't grammatically correct, but whatever.
Now I am just rambeling... and it is time to go pick up Sugar!!! She had a slumber party while I was gone :)
