Spring Break 2017

Spring Break is here!  Nothing major planned for spring break other than binge watching on-demand shows, applying for jobs, studying biochemistry and the worksheet, preparing my poster for a conference at the end of the month (so close - eek!!), and my internship and PR work.  I may also spend plenty of time outside depending on the weather (which has been gorgeous)

School has been going good.  I have a couple of classes that are awesome although biochemistry has been a blur, mostly because that is very complex to understand at 8 am (although 9 am is another story).  The other day in my prescriptive fitness class, our class got the opportunity to have a fitness instructor from the Y come to teach our class.  This class was called "Estercize" (basically pilates/yoga and planks) and was taught by a woman from the Netherlands.  She used music while doing the yoga and pilates sequences.  I was impressed how she sang while she was doing the routines. She did compliment me on how flexible I was - in one of the sequences I managed to have my leg positioned at an almost 90-degree angle  (which was pretty cool! I have always been flexible (Splits, foot behind my ear, sitting in weird positions (very rare now), etc.) but haven't focused much on flexibility in a long time. However, I decided to give yoga a try this year after noticing how stiff my joints are).  Speaking of yoga, I have tried our yoga class on campus (finally on a day I don't have lab or youth group).  These classes have helped loosen my joints and have helped my balance - although it can be boring with how quiet it is! I definitely will look into pilate classes one day in the future.

Today, I hung out with my friend, K.B, who I haven't seen in a few months! I will miss her when I leave in May.  We went to the mall today, goofed off/had serious discussions, and ate dinner together. While there, I got a new black dress (which is very flattering) for the conference, black sandals, a dressy, flowy tank top, and a light pullover sweater - and spent my gift card from Christmas for Old Navy.  I wish I had some more money budgeted after discovering Gap and Maurices today!!! Soon enough, when I search for clothes for a career.

Also, only two more months left until I leave to go to CT - many mixed feelings!
