Re: Off Topic 2012

I'm with ya dude.

My girl got some workout video, and we started it last night. Must admit, it felt super cheesey working out to a video (all I can think of is Tae Bo ). But I haven't done physical activity in a while thanks to my knee (no pickup basketball or football, though when everyone gets home from school in the summer we do play pickup hockey). My biggest workout was my job, which I must say has me speedwalking probably miles a night, but still.

Doing the abs and some light lifting exercises. I couldn't stretch the quads/hamstrings quite as well as I wanted to because of my knee and it's likely lack and/or deterioration of the ligaments within, so after a little bit of that I had to sit out for fear my knee would just give out. It felt good to "feel the burn," though. I'm a naturally slender dude, never had a problem with weight, but I want to get back into some form of shape and maybe develop a bit of muscle. Though for my frame, and my lack of working out pretty much ever, I somehow have been blessed with a decent looking form.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I lost 40 lbs last Spring/Summer and have pretty much plateaued since June. Which is fine because I'm the smallest I've been since middle school, but I feel like I should be doing more and "getting things done."

I guess I'm just getting older because I actually feel bad for playing 6 hours of video games on a day off and not venturing outside.

Re: Off Topic 2012

So it's the last class of my first semester.

Started it off rough, wasn't really prepared, and was in a bad place around that time. Fast forward a few months, and though I'm pissed I had to drop two classes early on, I'm proud of my progress in the single class I kept. Get to see what my research paper scored today, which basically determines your grade for the semester, so that's kind of exciting. I think I'm going to take the summer off of classes though and start cracking on my major in fall like most people do, unless my student loan requires otherwise (if I still qualify for that, seeing as I dropped two classes).

Also start a new job tomorrow. It's another serving job, but it's a better situation for me then where I was at for the past month, though it was a good experience to get into the "field."

The summer should be fun. Hoping to get down to the beach more times then last year (once) now that I have a car of my own, a better paying job, and am living in a better place then previously. Speaking of which, really enjoying the relationship I have with my Dad since moving out and in with my fiance' at her parent's house. We did a little work on my car yesterday, and it was a nice little bonding and learning experience. Ahh, the small things. He needs me to be a stand-up guy with two of my brothers being written out of the family due to drugs and all the BS that comes with that, and my oldest brother being the LAST to move out (though he's a good dude, too, just a little... awkward).

Things are looking up for the summer. It's a shame the world is gonna end so soon. Just kidding, it ain't happening.

I'm glad that guilt never hit me

Re: Off Topic 2012

And just like that I realized I have 12 days until my 2 online classes start, oh well an hour or so a day won't kill me if that.

Ugh, I did not miss heat and humidity. It's 80 degrees but humidity is a little elevated today, and I can tell.

I have almost a month in between my Spring and Summer semester. I'm still interested to see how online Oceanography goes.

Yeah i'm taking some BS intro weather class along with a writing class. That way after this fall semester i'll be a Junior and on pace to graduate a semester early.

Haha I'm pretty sure I may be a semester late. I'm not sure how that happened, but I guess I could have taken 15 credit hours instead of 12 for a couple semesters. Oh well. I'm honestly not even sure what Oceanography entails. I'm just taking it to get my last science out of the way. I'm now kinda thinking about doing a double major in history and secondary education. I'm gonna have to go longer anyways, so why not get an extra degree out of it?

Re: Off Topic 2012

Well....I scored a 93 on my last research paper (for English II) for this semester. She marked off for small grammatical mistakes and incorrect punctuation (I'm fond of using commas where they aren't needed) but it was an otherwise perfect paper and she told me so. I'm feelin good about myself.

I'm also fairly sure no one else in my class has a better grade on the paper...Only so I can gloat to their face because they laughed when I bombed that last test.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Yeah I lucked out that when I entered my last summer I already had 12 credits plus the 6 I took that summer. That way my 3 full semesters before entering my program are all 12 credits.

I took an easy intro oceanography class in the fall got an A

On that note #TeamGulf

Is it more the location and physical stuff about the oceans, or is it about the stuff living in it and whatnot?

Re: Off Topic 2012

It was kind of everything for my class. Ocean floor, stuff in the ocean, etc. It was all relatively easy and basic.
