A quick update on a few things

I have about 1,000 things to do over this next week, most of which I should be doing now, but I'm way too tired to concentrate on homework, so here's a blog post instead.

The first update I have is that I switched my goal for this semester. It was to do a 10k. Now, a sprint triathlon. I really am not a huge fan of running and I just wasn't motivated enough to train towards that at this time. What does a sprint triathlon consist of you ask? Well, it's a 400 meter swim, a 12 mile bike ride, and a 2 mile run. I firmly believe the hardest part will be that swim. I haven't swam in a very long time so it'll be interesting to see where I am in that. I'm going on my first swim tomorrow!

Update number two. I graduate exactly 300 days from today. This is pretty much the best thing ever. I truly cannot wait to see what my life has in store 301 days from now. It's exciting!

The graduation update brings me to my third update. This past week I had a meeting with my advisor to get her approval to student teach next semester. I definitely thought that I was done with my application and that I had everything in order. Turns out I was wrong. I was thoroughly disappointed when she informed me that she couldn't approve me. I had an entire other part of the application that I somehow missed. I had to find about 10 papers that I wrote when I was a freshman and sophomore and upload them onto my e-portfolio. This was very disheartening. I didn't know if I'd be able to find the papers and I really didn't want to take the time to convert them all to pdf's and upload them. Well, my meeting was Thursday and I submitted my completed portfolio today. I guess I had nothing to stress about. =)

Update number 4. Recently, like February 1st, I started a new diet. I decided to do the 5 a day the color way challenge. In this challenge, you eat 5 fruits and vegetables every day, one from each of the five color groups. The color groups are red, yellow/orange, green, blue/purple, and white. I've really been surprised with how well I've done. I've only not got everything in twice so far. The first was due to being snowed in and not being able to buy the right colors. The second was because I had a huge migraine and didn't want to eat anything.

I think that might be the only updates that I have. We are already done with 6 weeks of this semester. Only 10 more to go. Woohoo!
