Personal Trainer?

Not exactly.
I've just decided that I should write about this while I'm still really motivated to do it.

Last semester was really hectic, I held two jobs, had a university night class, and went to high school all day. I never slept, I was always on the go... etc. I planned this semester to be easier so that I wouldn't get burnt out, and I'm not! Although I picked up another job at Baker Hunt Art and Cultural Center, I just gave my two weeks for one of my former jobs. Now I only have one high school class and a very easy NKU class. Things are just much more relaxed.
Anyway, I signed up for a Tuesday night yoga class at Baker Hunt and I love it. Thanks to my schedule this semester I have been getting much more sleep and I have so much more energy now. I've started eating much much better, and just felt the need to become more active. All of this is super strange for me considering I'm not athletic at all and I haven't worked out seriously since 8th grade. Well as of this week my friend Kathryn and I are members of Urban Active, this awesome new gym, and my lovely fiance is signing up today! We're meeting up tonight to work out again; making today my third day in a row working out. I just feel great and I had to share it! It just proves that if I can get my lazy butt on the way to being healthy so can you!

Have you ever thought about the impact you have on those around you? It's something I've been thinking about more and more lately. What if you say one comment to someone around you, whether it's your best friend or a total stranger, and it just makes them change, or even pass your idea on to someone else. When you see something interesting or think wow that's awesome, with anything, most people don't think about how that thing started but someone was genius enough to think of it and now it influences you.

It's amazing to think that you could pass on your ideas, habits, speech,.. etc. on to others and those directly and indirectly might be positively affected by it. However, on the other hand it's disturbing that someone else's quirks and bad habits have probably been pushed on you at some point.

In my case, I definitely know that I have benefited from my friends, family, and complete strangers and have picked up some bad habits from them as well.

Just an interesting notion I'd thought I would share. This post seems scattered to me so I'm sure it's a disaster for you to read, so I apologize.

It's Been Awhile...

So here's what has happened in the past month:

• I rescued a 1lb. kitten, I named him Cheshire. He is orange and striped.
• I started a new internship at Baker Hunt Art and cultural center. I love it.
• This semester is so much better than last semester, I love Senior year!
• I have been working on tons of scholarships
• Jordan started his enlistment into the National Guard, it's his back up plan to pay for college and get commissioned if he doesn't get his ROTC scholarship. He goes to basic this summer.
• Very basic wedding plans are underway. We've moved our date from August to probably June, 25 or 25, 2011. Yay!

I am becoming increasingly more excited for college this fall and marriage next year. People, habits, places, mindsets... are getting so annoying and I'm just very very ready to move on. I'm dying to repaint my room, I know it's kind of pointless but it will be so much prettier. Well I have to work on my homework but hopefully I'll post something again soon.
