Workout: Day 1
Alright folks. I'm halfway through today's workout. And I'm already wiped. I didn't realize how honestly out of shape I am, until I did this workout.
Easy, right? NOT! I'm seriously sitting on my floor - stretching, mind you - sweating my brains out. And I'm doing it twice for max results!
So now that I've actually done this workout, I'm curious. What are your favorite "beginner" workouts? And what are your workout jams?! I made myself a little playlist, but I'm open to suggestions!

This was how I felt though.

i love school.
i love learning. i love being with my peers. i love having homework and feeling responsible. i love having a locker. i love carrying around a backpack and packing a lunch and heaving textbooks all over the schools. i love going up and down the stairs and having secret passwords into the computer labs and my accounts. i love seeing the words "oophorectomy" and "thyropharyneal" and being able to break them down into their prefixes, root words, and suffixes. i love getting 18/20 on my spelling test. i love getting 85% on my first medical lab terminology test. i love seeing my schedule that says stuff like "MTR100/T101" and "MLT168/T205/256052*" and understanding it. if you haven't gone back to school after graduating, do it. it's fantastic.

we made it.
what an utterly chaotic weekend.
remember this?
it was his farewell this weekend. the last time i'll see ethan craig palmer for two years. twenty four months. THIS IS MADNESS. i'm kind of sad. but a good kind of sad.
i already miss him.
so basically. we drove down on friday, got lost in red deer looking for erica's house, arrived in raymond around 9:30, met up with friends, partied till the break of dawn, woke up and went to a pee wee football game in the oh-so-windy city of lethbridge, went to the mall, i finally got my bobble!, went home, i hung out with ethan and crew, carter went to stirling, we met back up to watch a movie at 10, stayed up WAY too late again, went to the farewell at 9 this morning, hung out with carter's family, hung out with ethan's family, hung out with my family, picked up erica, left at 2:30. we got to red deer at 7. and his car broke down. YAY. so then we had to wait for erica's cousins to come pick us up and help us fix it. we finally left red deer at 9, got to edmonton at 1030, and now carter is somewhere between here and slave lake.
IT WAS INSANE.

I'm a scientist!
I did an experiment today. Kind of like a lab experiment. But it wasn't in a lab. At all. It was outside.
Hypothesis: Summer is over.
Experiment: I wore shorts this morning.
Outcome: I froze. Literally, froze. Us, in the city of Edmonton, enjoyed a balmy 12C (Does anyone know how to make the little degree symbol appear? I'm new to this whole "Windows 7/PC/IBM" thing.) today. It was seriously like 3C when I walked to my bus stop.
Conclusion: Hypothesis was correct. Summer has indeed come to a screeching, halting, screaming stop.
But you know what? I'm not even sad about it.
Autumn is bringing some great changes. Some improvements, if you will. I've said before that I feel like this year is a new chapter in my life. Autumn is basically my starting point.
So, here we go.
I hope everyone enjoys school, and wearing sweaters and jeans and drinking hot chocolate. I hope everyone goes to a lot of football games, and isn't afraid to go on long road trips with people you love to see people who matter.

First - Their voices are absolutely, positively perfect together.
Second - The music video. How sad/cute/amazing is that video?!
Third - The lyrics.
Cause lovers dance when they’re feeling in love.
Spotlight shinning, it’s all about us.
It’s oh, oh, all,
About uh, uh, us.
And every heart in the room will melt,
This is a feeling I’ve never felt but,
It’s oh, oh, all about us.
Suddenly, I’m feeling brave.
Don’t know what’s got into me,
Why I feel this way.
Can we dance, real slow?
Can I hold you, real close?
The room’s hush, hush,
And now’s our moment.
Take it in feel it all and hold it.
Eyes on you, eyes on me.

"He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you." - Bob Marley
