The days are just packed!

So, Spring break was a great and much needed break....however it is OVER!...and I have hit the ground running without stopping since I've been back.

Let's see....

Strangely enough I am nearing the end of the semester, or so it feels, as I have been given details for all of the thousands of final projects and papers of the semester. I have started working on them and my goal is to get the done way ahead of time.

I have recently increased my running days and distance. I was feeling as though my in-shape-ness was dwindling and since the weather was nice I figured it would be a good time to pick up the pace. So far this week I have increased my schedule to a 5 day a week plan (previously only 4) and increased my cardio time (mostly running) from 30 minutes to 40 minutes...and hopefully will continue increasing as I get into better shape.

I am really on a nutrition kick! This is mostly due to the fact that I am taking an awesome nutrition class. We recently did this awesome computerized food diary project and it was super eye-opening. A few (but not all) of my new additions are: literally half my plate at dinner is comprised of veggies, drinking 3/4 cup of grape juice each day (not old enough to drink wine yet...but I still need those anti-Occidents), and eating a VAREITY of foods. The best way to get in all those macro and micronutrients is variety. The rule in our class is NO food is bad. Granted moderation is key, but it has been fun learning how to incorporate random things into my diet to increse my nutrition...like potato chips?!?!?...that's right! (check out MyPyramid.gov it's the new and improved PERSONALIZED food pyramid website!!!).

Destino takes up a lot of time, but I love it. We continue to grow each week!! and I am currently meeting weekly with both Gladys and Berenisse for disciplship... they are fun girls!

I am tutoring a sweet ESL girl every Wednesday morning. She is in the 11th grade and can't read English well at all. This week we worked on her English homework and it took us 35 minutes to complete one question. The book she was reading was WAY over her level and just helping her understand the question (without just telling her) took 10 minutes. We have to break down each work individually!

I have a little bit of a tan from Spring break!!!....WHAT WHAT!

I got a 100% on my most recent School, Politics, and Society Exam....which is great considering I got a 75% on the first exam in the class (thankfully she drops the lowest exam grade!).

This Saturday I am doing Breast Casting with the Women's Center. Yes, you read that right...Breast (and adomine) casting. It's to raise money and awarenss for breast cancer. A few other RA's, some of our residents, and myself are going to do it together. ...what better way to bond and get past insecurities!...haha.

...well that's probably enough schocking news for now. Thanks for reading.
