Flex wasn't that intense, but I didn't realize it until I got to Kickboxing, just how great an effect it had on me. Kickbox was HARDCORE. I will definitely be going every week because that was a wicked workout.

Zumba wasn't much for structured muscle group isolation and workout, but it was still pretty good. More like shaking of boobs and ass, but it was pretty fun. Until I got a massive cramp in my side from all the hip shaking, that is...

I haven't been massively sore like I was when I first started going to Step, but I can feel the slow burn. After sitting in class for the last couple days too, my back muscles are cramping up and I'm feeling increasingly tense...

I'm glad Carolyne and Greta accompanied me to some of these classes. I don't know if I would have gone to Zumba alone for the first time, it was quite a sight to see! (think very active hot yoga)

no pain, no gain.... =(

Zachary Levi

I absolutely HEART Zachary Levi.



You by the light, is the greatest find
In a world full of wrong, you're the thing that's right
Finally made it through the lonely, to the other side

You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life

This could be good, it's already better than that
And nothing's worse, than knowing you're holding back
I could be all that you needed, if you let me try

You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only

I only said it cause I mean it
I only mean 'cause it's true
So don't you doubt what I've been dreaming
'Cause it fills me up
And holds me close
Whenever I'm without you

You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life
Life
Life
In my only life

beeeeezeeeeee

I know I post about this a lot, but I actually am really busy. Aside from this past Thursday until now, I have spent most of the last 3 weeks in the lab. Aka., I have 12+ hour days indoors where I wouldn't see the sun if it weren't for windows.

On top of doing work in the lab, it's pedal to the metal for orientation day in my department. Ildiko has been super busy doing her work, so I've been pushing my limit and doing GSLC logistical and organizational things in the evenings.

When I'm not doing either of those things, I can either be found sleeping, or sacrificing my sleep to hang out with friendse and catch up. Talk about not having a moment to spare!

I will get back into the blogging when I come up with the time. In the meantime, filler posts will take up most of my webspace.

Stay tuned...
