five day weekend

This weekend has flown by! I got to go home this weekend and on Friday it was so beautiful outside..I was finally able to go and play tennis! :) :) It was so nice!  Also, I got to run outside in shorts and a t-shirt for the first time in MONTHS!   Sadly, the weather went downhill as the weekend went on and I woke up this morning to four inches of snow on the ground. :(  I went and shoveled our two driveways and cleared 5 cars off..good start to the day.  I'm actually excited to get back to school...considering I only have class Wednesday and Thursday this week!!! Than I'm coming home again this weekend because it is my boyfriends birthday.  After that I won't be able to come home again until Spring break :( I didn't realize how much I missed home!  I have a math test tomorrow..which of course I procrastinated on studying for! I didn't do much homework at all this weekend.... My friend is moving to Florida next Monday so I got to see her this weekend. I also got to see my hamster Cecilia..she's so adorable! She's making her online debut right here!

long weekend!

this weekend is going to be a long weekend and it is truely OVERDUE! The weather is going to be beautiful! Hopefully at home the tennis courts are free of snow so I can play! This week we had to run 4 miles Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.  Even though we weren't supposed to run today, we ran 2 miles!  When I ran on Tuesday, my mile averaged around 840-9 min miles.  However, yesterday (Wednesday) when I ran my 4 miles, I ran them at an average of 7.30 minute miles, which is amazing considering my fastest mile used to be a 7.10 minute mile!  I waso happy and excited to realize that i ran 4 miles in 30 minutes. :) Today I'm going to Friendlys with Kaitlyn and Natalya, but definitly not eating there! These trips are always fun though!

Today I did my first day of observation for my other teaching class and it was really fun! The teacher I have is very nice and let me use the smart board and help the kids.  Did anyone else know there was a graphing calculator onthe smartboard? Very cool! The kids were very nice (considering they were in High School..and all girls!) Also, the seemed very smart..and seemed to know what they were talking about.  Valentine's Day was great.  Usually I'm not into those sappy holidays, but this year was great :) My boyfriend came up and visited me for the night, which was very nice of him considering i was just home the night before and will be home for five days this weekend!!  He gave me chocolate covered strawberries :) YUM!!! I could eat these all the time.  Today I only have to run 4 miles, which will be very easy to do.  Tonight I have some serious homework to do.   I have to do the website review for this class, study for a calc II quiz, and also do ecology homework!  Tomorrow night there is a "champs workshop" that I have to attend because I am an athlete.  This school has a lot of rules for athletes!  Thank god I got out of study hall this semester, or I'd be going crazy.  Supposedly it was going to get warmer as the weekend went on, but i can't see that happening.  This makes me sad because I reallllly want to go outside and feel warm weather.  Not only that, but I want to go play tennis! I can't do that when there is snow all over the courts!!!!  Well, that's all for now.  Bye!

Color

Ive never tried to change the color of my blog post so here goes nothing, I hope it works!

Biggest Loser

Caldwell College is hosting a "Biggest Loser" competition on campus and there is a cash reward for the person who loses the most weight.  This is a really good idea, because a lot of people are overweight.  Not only that, but they are very unhealthy in their eating habits and they rarely exercise.  Caldwell is taking a step to make their student healthier, but the only thing they really need to do is to make their food healthier first!  I went up, got weighed, and got my bmi.  On the same topic, MTV has this show called "I Used To Be Fat" that airs every Wednesday at 10pm.  I love this show.  The girl who was on the show last night looked amazing at the end of her weightloss and she felt better too. Personally, I love working out and I love how it makes me feel..on a lighter note..the cafe had this amazing chocolate cheese cake for desert!  I get to go home tomorrow afternoon and see my family and my boyfriend!

This past week has been quite interesting.  I went to a Linkin Park concert on Monday night jan. 31st...I've been wanting to see them since I was in 8th grade!  The concert was AMAZING!!!! Not only was LP great, but their opener, Pendulum, was also great!  I cannot wait until they come around again so that i can go to another concert!!! I forgot how much I loved concerts and the whole experience of them.  My last concert was in 10th grade...and it had been wayyyy too long since the last one!  Other than that, my life is pretty boring.  I just found out the other day that shamrock shakes are back at McDonalds..I've never actually tried one, but I hear that they're great..so I think this weekend I'm going to get one.  I can't wait until Friday because i get to go home :) The only bad thing about Friday is that I have to run 10 miles...uhg.  The gym was so crowded last night that I was barely able to do any working out at all.  On top of that, they were filming in the gym and personally, I don't like to be watched while working out, or for that matter filmed.  Classes are going good...no complaints..especially with all of the snow days!  I can't wait for the snow to melt so that I can play tennis again! I seriously miss playing..but indoor time is so expensive..boo that.  I can't afford $70 to play for 2 hours..outdoors is better because it's FREE! okay..enough for now.

photostory

I just finished making my photostory woot.  Computers confuse me, so I'm trying to spend more time on my laptop and learn some new tricks that I will be able to use in my classroom
