ohi! how's it going?!
ehehehe... yeah. sporadic poster here!
and update on school for you! I am officially a sophomore credits wise, and i'm taking anatomoy and physiology over the summer along with a therapeutic touch course! so far so good, except that in A&P we are doing basic cell bio and chem... which you get in any HS/college basic bio course... since ive taken 4 of these already i am finding myself exceedingly BOOOOOOOOORED!!! ive taken to helping my lab partner and the girls at the bench in front of mine if they are having problems with the labs... ive done them all before so far, which is good, cause i know what to expect, but it doesnt help me concentrate on what we are doing now and I often find myself thinking ahead to when we have to do dissections...
as you probably know I dont really like doing dissections, especially on animals. I managed to get over it a bit while in Norway, because of the fish, but here we have to use cats... *remembering panic attack i had when proff TALKED about it*
yeah. our proff. started telling us what to expect with the lab and when he started talking about dissecting the cats I felt my temp go up and I started shivering and sweating. my heart rate went up and my ears popped. i started feeling nauseous and decided I should probably leave and get some water when i started seeing colours in front of my eyes... i had to feel my way to the water fountain it was so bad...
this is not a good sign.
yeah, i'll let you all (all 7 of you who follow this for unknown reasons and whoever happens to stumble on this blog before they leave again) how it works out. XD
IN OTHER NEWS!!! I started cross fit! with my mum, who is cruel and unnecessarily giddy about us exercising ourselves into the ground... here is a video of the people who do this proffesionally, the real athleats of this... sport...
yeah... im not nearly this good... I am happy if i can make it through the WOD (workout of the day) without dying XD speaking of which im feeling quite proud of myself, i have done 3 crossfit classes in the past 3 days :) monday was 400m run, for a warm up, and 5 reps of 15 shoulder-overhead barbell (22lbs), 100m foot farmers (35lbs kettlebells each hand), 5 stone ground-shoulder (35lbs as 65lbs was asking too much), and 10 burpies (this was just for me) and I did 5 reps and started a 6th.
yesterday was a warm up running, jumping jacks, push-ups, and a mass of other things our semi sadistic coach came up with, then a 200m run followed by 30 push-ups, 400m run, 20 push-ups, 800m run, 10 push-ups... i will ust comment now i FREAKING (not the word i wanted to use right there) HATE RUNNING A PUSH-UPS!!! i would do almost anything over these if i had the choice :P
today was... hellish? we warmed up with a 400m run, then we started our workout which was 400m run (i managed to switch to 300m rowing after the 2nd rep) 10 sumo deadlifts with a 26lbs kettle bell... for the 1st rep at least... switched to 16 shortly thereafter, 20 goblet squats see vid below, and 30 kettle bell swings... :D i managed to do 4 full reps and did the rowing for my 5th! *feeling empowered and good about myself*
and this is for everybody i might add, it can be changed to make sure you dont injure yourself, you do as much as you can and if it gets to be too much you bring down the weight or take a breather. i would really encourage this for everybody! (note i just finished my fundamentals class and have just about hit my month mark!)
besides that... ive joined a writing group, I try to write 1,500 words a day so that I can have 50k done and edited with my writing group by the end of the summer... aka august. we are finally splitting into sub groups so I hope this means i will be getting more feedback than I have previously... *fingers crossed!* I am already over 16k words, and I havent done my writing for the day... I have to do hmwk first, and I really need to go shopping soon... so i guess that signals i should get off this...
have a wonderful day folks! and enjoy the time where you dont have to read my rambling entries!
