Life

So, I've decided to write down those journal prompts down in my paper journal. I come to Blogger pretty regularly, but when it comes down to typing out the prompts, I just don't have to motivation to catch up on whole weeks worth. Plus, I think it'd be kind of cool for my - hopeful - posterity to dig through my journals some day. I'm a journal/paper nerd, so I have a lot of differently sized journals.

Anyway, I'm going to my assigned ward in about 12 hours. I've been avoiding the whole BYU singles ward scene since I moved back to Provo. The Bishop made a surprise visit yesterday morning. I was still in bed after finishing yesterday's graveyard shift. I think I had made it to 4 hours of sleep before they came. I'm surprised they're even letting me attend the ward at all. This will be a good jumping off to start some introspection of things I need to work on. Pretty vague, huh? Let's just say that there is a lot that I need to work that I've been putting off simply because I'm scared of what I'll have to do to get to the light at the end of the tunnel. The unknown just scares me silly sometimes.

I have so many things that are in the works. A few them are at the jumping off point, I just have to wait for the money to come in the accomplish these goals. Thank goodness I've been able to do my taxes early. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get my refund soon, pay 2 months worth of rent ahead of time, and then get my education off the ground and a few other things. I'm saving some of my refund for a vacation. I just don't know when or where I'm going. A friend of mine wants to go to Hawaii for a week. Spending all that money on a plane ticket kind of makes me sick to my stomach. Maybe I'll just take a road trip or a train trip somewhere. I don't know...we'll see.

Anyhow, life has been pretty boring. I work, sleep, occasionally eat, exercise. I need to do more of the exercising though. I found a routine that I'll be able to stick to. Then 4 or 5 days of 30 minutes of cardio on top of what I can do in the comforts of my own bedroom. I hate struggling in front of people, so if I don't have to sweat in front of people, then that's what I'll do. I really want to buy the TRX suspension cords. It looks really cool and challenging. And, again, it's something I can do in the comforts of my bedroom. I think I would just have to move my desk.

So yeah...that's what I'm up to. Not a whole lot.

Late...As Usual

So, turns out that I'm not so great at posting on here as I once was. I was even late to post my once yearly Dear Mom post. I really have no excuses other than I've been out of school for almost 3 weeks now since I started going full-time in January. I'm pretty sure the last time I posted anything was in October of last year. Anyway, let's play catch up! I started school full-time in January at BYU-Idaho's online program. I completed 28 credits this year. I'm ready for a break. The accreditation for the public health degree program changed but the changes only apply for the on-campus students and not the online students - aka me. So I'm going to have to transfer schools...again. I've been looking at grad programs in Portland, Oregon. Portland calls my name at least once a year, and I always research reasons to move back. The first time I moved there I was under prepared. I moved with the wrong person. When I move back, I'll be done with school...

A Healthy Start

So, you know when the beginning of the new year rolls around and you recommit yourself to begin a healthier lifestyle and then you kind of crash and burn somewhere around the end of the month? Yeah...I've been there. Like every year of my my twenties. For some reason, the closer I get to turning 32 - yikes! when did that happen??? - the more I think about where I want my life to go, what I want to do, who I want to be...you get the point. Almost a week ago, I started exercising every day with just one rest day a week. Today - Saturday - is my rest day. It also is my sugar day. Anyhow, last Sunday I was sitting in my room perusing Pinterest. I was coming off a graveyard shift sleep the daylight hours away stint and I was bored. I said to myself, "You should do something healthy today. You've slept all day and have energy to burn." Somehow I ended up on this wall exercise chart thing on a friend's board and I thought, I can do this. It's quiet. I won't wake...

New Things

So, I haven't made a public announcement, but I got a job T H R E E weeks ago. I've been gainfully employed for just over 3 weeks ago. I love working. I love having a job. I love being able to buy the stupid things like toothpaste and shampoo, because really? Since I can buy the stupid silly things that people need to function, means that I can start saving, pay tithing, go grocery shopping. Also, since I work for a certain Church funded company, I also get to go to school. For free. Then, after I'm done doing the program that I've been interested in, since forever, I get to go to Weber and finish my bachelor's degree the debt free way. Awesome, right? It is. It's also a lot of work because since the Church is all about self-reliance and what not, I have to do the work all myself which means that I have to find the motivation to go to 2 night classes a week to get to the point where I can finish my bachelor's without going into more debt. But you know what? ...
