• Falling on My Face

  My fitness classes (Yoga and Pilate's) are done for the week. I have Pilate's, Mondays' and Wednesdays , and Yoga Tuesdays and Thursdays. I kind of wish I had them Friday and Saturday as well ha ha. There are so many poses in Yoga so far that I have almost fell on my face trying to do so far. I actually bruised my knee one day when I fell over trying to do Reverse Triangle Pose. It was really funny however. I am really loving it though, despite how amateur I am at it.  My teacher always explains everything so clearly, and there are a lot of people in my Yoga class, so I can watch them too. I usually put my mat in the front, so I can see the best.  We started getting into the primary series of poses just like 2 or 3 classes ago. Last time we only did 3 or 4 of them, but today we did as many as 7 or possibly 8 of them. I don't remember precisely. I am gradually memorizing them. Some I can do a lot better than others.

  I still have a lot of progress to make in both my Yoga and Pilate's classes, I am still very out of shape, especially for my Pilate's class, it is pretty hard but I do my best. I am working on my balance, and flexibility especially in my spare time.

  I think we have our first test in Astronomy tomorrow, I'm a little nervous for that. There are still a lot of things I haven't quite caught on to yet.  I am going to study more later, and hopefully I will be able to fully grasp everything. I really love the class a lot, and can't wait to see what we talk about tomorrow. I want us to play around with the planetarium dome more as well, it's so cool.

  English is going fine, I'm not sure if I said anything about us learning how to do APA papers on Tuesday, but that is what we did for that class period.  have English 4 days a week, kind of weird, but it works. We have 3 classroom days and 1 computer lab day.  We haven't been given anything that hard.

  I usually have an hour between my Astronomy class, and my Pilates class, and my English class and My yoga class on almost every day except for Thursday and Friday. I have no English class at twelve on Thursday, and I have no fitness class on Friday. I usually just walk around campus in my free time just getting to know everything. I remember one of the days I went and read some of the apartment postings on the bulletin boards where they have all these houses and apartments for rent. Some of the ads are hilarious and made me laugh so hard.  People are so creative sometimes I tell you.  Sometimes I eat lunch in this time period, or just bring a nut bar, and buy a sobe Lifewater and drink that before class. I try not to eat very much before I exercise, that was actually recommended by my instructors.

  Thursday, I don't remember if I mentioned this as well, but Thursday the Institute of Religion over near the University has a $2.00 lunch. It is something different every week. I didn't have it this week, but they had Taco Salad.  They call it 'Lunch Bunch".  The institute teachers are pretty nice and they sometimes buy people lunch if they don't have the money.

  So, after my last post I actually sent the link to Darik. Not sure if he read it or not, he might have not read it. I made it a point to tell him to ignore the dramatic sounding title and to not read the other 3 parts. I don't think he would have read the other 3 parts even if I had given them to him as well anyway, so I'm not worried. I really wanted him to understand my feelings in this part. 

  Yesterday I went to Costco with my mom and ad after school, we just bought a few little things, I also got some new pillows. They are just temporary pillows however, until I have enough money to buy a really good one next month. I sleep with two pillows, I get back and neck problems and stiffness if I don't. I put my 2nd pillow in the laundry room however to be washed. We decided that I just needed another pillow though. I can't afford the one I want right now, but I will be able to next month however. I'm looking for one that is like a micro bead pillow or something like that.

  When I got home from school today my sister had made Peanut Butter cookies. I think this batch is for a neighbor or something though. I'm pretty sure she will make more for us however. 

  Anyway, that is all for now. I know I usually do not post this early but I felt like writing, and when I feel like writing I know I should.
