6 Weeks Till Graduation

Well, holy cow. I can't believe it. I have five more weeks of actual school, a week of finals (well, a week between my last class and graduation when I would normally be taking finals but I rock and don't have any) until I graduate. I just can't believe it. The time has really flown by and I'm just shocked how fast it's coming.

This week will basically suck because I have two tests, one on Wednesday morning and one on Thursday morning. I also have a bunch of Relay meetings, I have to observe for my lab class (those little 2 and 3 year olds in the Early Childhood Development Lab are crazy), work out and study for those tests. It's going to be a lot of stuff between now and 7 pm on Thursday but then this weekend I will get to relax and do more Relay stuff so that will be good.

I got really sick last week which sucked big time so now yesterday I started off on my Body For Life challenge. I did my upper body workout and I'm feeling it this morning, not too badly though. I'm doing cardio today and I kind of want to try this class at CRCE called Kick and Core. It's like kickboxing with an emphasis on working core muscles (hence the name) and it's done with hip-hop kind of moves to fun music. Everyone who goes loves it so I may go with the roomie today. Besides that, I'm up at 8:30 now to study for my Wednesday test, then I have class from 12-5 with a few little breaks in between. Kick and Core is at 5:30 and then I have to be somewhere at 7 to hit the classrooms with Relay stuff. It's going to be a long day!!

Ahhh . . . sickness and senioritis.

So, I got sick two days ago. What the hey?!?! Lane was sick almost a week ago already so I don't really know if it was from him. But whatever, my nose is runny but I actually feel much better today. I'm getting a serious case of senioritis (don't worry mom, I am finishing that class). I think I am just done with undergrad classes. And the drama, I'm excited to leave the drama of the house and of living with all girls and blah blah blah. I'm still having fun (how could I not, today my classes are my fave psych class, bowling and wine!) but I'm just drained of it. AND I had last semester off in all relative terms. Blahhhhh.

Maybe when I feel 100% better, everything will look better.

This month is going to be great though, I have lots of work but then it's Relay, Passover, Lane's birthday and then GRADUATION!! I can't believe it. It feels like it flew by.

Ahhhhgrrrr. Off to class soon.

Spring Break 08

It's been a pretty super Spring Break. I worked last Saturday, I'm working tomorrow and then it's back to school for my last half of a semester as an undergrad student.

I had some amazing times in Milwaukee with my faves and got to hang with Laney a good amount. It's been really fun! I have tons of work to go back to school to so that will kind of suck but whatever. Only about 7 more weeks . . . so crazy!!!

In other news, I'm going to start another 12 week challenge this Monday. I'm excited. I want to lose another 20 pounds (or as much as possible) by Lori's wedding. The next challenge will take me to the middle of June. I'm pretty psyched . . . it'll be nice to be in a regular workout routine again!

What a few weeks!!!!!!!!!!!

Bar crawl with the faves.

Me and my love, at Pledge Dance

So it's been quite a few weeks. I have excelled in my ice skating class (and finished it already, awww sad) by learning not only how to be a better skate in general but I learned some elementary spins, jumps and tricks. Pretty fancy stuff. I've dropped photography since my last post because it was just taking up too much time. :-/ I really enjoyed it but that will have to be a hobby I pursue outside of class. Bowling has obviously been amazing and my wine appreciation test was surprisingly hard (I had to know specific aromas and their origins!). But no worries, I got an A on it.

My other classes ("real classes" for you skeptics) have also been very fun and challenging. I love my learning and memory class because I think the topics of how people learn and why their brains work that way are just fascinating.

So the last few weeks have been great. We had a barcrawl with AEPi and our spring semester dance, pledge dance. Lane was so sweet and moved his stuff around at school so he could come here for the dance. We had lots of fun with the friends and ate at this awesome restaurant in downtown Champaign called 7 saints. It's been my goal to try new places since I'm leaving so soon (sad face).

This past weekend I attended the NATE Kallah in Boulder, CO. I reconnected with my Judaism and I learned about myself in ways that I haven't explored since high school. I found a spiritual connection again and figured out that I have a future in Jewish Education (thank you Vanessa). :-) I'm so superly psyched because I think I have pretty much decided to apply to HUC in the fall.

A huge weight has lifted off of my shoulders since I have finally found something that I am so enthused about and I just can't wait to explore HUC more and look into the program even more in depth.

It's been a good few weeks.
