SUMMER 2010

Finally! Its here! Summer, ahh summer. I can't believe I'm a junior in High School! I don't feel like one, but I don't feel like a sophomore anymore either. I just can't wait to be done with school. I know I'm jumping the gun a tad bit, but hey. Who is not guilty of the same thing?

So I'm going to stop writing that I'm gonna do better...I feel somewhat embarrassed when I look back and realize how I haven't done any better. So no more of that!

But...anyways. Summer, so much fun to be had in only 10 weeks! Thats right...only 10 weeks. Its going to go by so fast, but I plan on having as much fun as possible..and trying to do my nasty summer assingments. School is forever following me around, I think I shall call it a stalker, just because it makes me feel better! :D

So, today was our last day of school! I had a math exam that lasted two hours (it was surprisingly easy) and then another class of nothing for a hour, then lunch, and then mom checked me out of school. A whole 3 hours early than school usually gets out. What did I do with these extra hours? I went with my friend Kinsey to see Letters to Juliet! I must say it was a really really cute chick flick, complete with british accents! :) But before the movie we went shopping! It was a lot of fun, we only went to Old Navy, Ross, and Barnes & Noble, but we got clothes and she bought a book too. It was fun, and not a lot of people were there so we had the whole place to ourselves. I'm pretty confident we were the only students. The theater had like 7 other people inside. So we had the theater to ourselves too! After that we went to Target and just looked around waiting for our ride home. I got home around 4:30 about an hour after I usually get home. So I made dinner (hamburger helper) nothing to fancy, and Danielle and I went to the redbox and got Dear John. I have to say I wasn't too impressed. The only good thing we could say at the end was, "At least she didn't cheat on her husband...." Letters to Juliet was a whole lot better!

So here I am now, bored so I decided to blog. Hopefully I'll find something to entertain me. I'm not tired yet...but my legs are aching, a sure sign of being tired. Oh well, I'll probably read my book. Well, I think thats it for me!
Later, but hopefully not too much later,

Inner Motivation

I’m really good at doing what people tell me to do. Like, give me an assignment and I can get it done! The harder part comes when you give me more freedom. Like I have to call all the shots?? I actually got feedback from one of my internship supervisors that related to this. I walked into the one on one thinking I was going to get perfect marks. And he surprised me! But in a good way, he told me, “You’re really great at coming to us and asking what you can do to help. I would love it if instead of coming to us and asking what you could do, you instead came to us with an idea or even something that you had already done. Fulfill a need and take that initiative! You are a part of this internship for a reason and we trust you.” That was probably the best constructive feedback I have ever gotten and I really took it in stride. I started looking for ways I could help and contribute instead of just asking. Flash-forward two years later and I was walking into another one on one with

Lessons from a Movie: Ford v Ferrari

Image
So, this is going to sound very ‘English Major’ of me, but I love finding the life-lessons in movies. Or maybe not even finding the lesson, but what did the movie get me to reflect on. I think I can safely blame this on my parents and my background as an English major.  (Side note: I once wrote a paper comparing two Star Trek movies and how the villains reflected world events at the time. It was my favorite paper to write, I just watched the two movies!)  Back to my previous thought, I can blame my parents because after movies we would always debrief on the car ride home. We talked about what we liked and what we thought about the movie (the Avengers series is a lovely conversation starter and I have all the thoughts about those, but to give you a snippet- I’m a big Iron Man fan). Anyways, this weekend we went and saw Ford v Ferrari. It was really good and I was pleasantly surprised! To be honest, I only went because Micah really wanted to watch it and we hadn’t been to t

5 Ways to Make Working Out in the AM Easier

Image
Now, let me first say it says easier, it doesn’t say easy peasy! Starting a workout routine or even starting healthy habits takes time and patience with yourself! Be sure to set achievable goals so that you can start off on the right foot. This means if you don’t work out at all right now, don’t make a goal to work out every day! Think about your schedule and set an achievable goal for yourself. This could be anything from 1 day to 3, but be sure to take small steps. Your fitness is not a destination, it’s a journey! When I first started adding a fitness routine into my daily schedule I started off working out after work. At the time it worked great, but I started to notice that things would start creeping into my workout time. For example, dinner, hanging out with friends, being super tired, etc. I was able to overcome those things, but I really wanted to have more time after work to relax or hang out with friends (this was pre-corona). I moved my workouts to the morning startin
