Between being caught up in binge watching FRIENDS, classes beginning, working out again, and having a somewhat social life seeing I have wanted to become a hermit and read more than anything, I have not been blogging like I intended to.
Grad school: Good news is that I was informed that they would defer my application for a semester so that I do not have to resend all of my transcripts and pay the application fee. Yes I am still bitter that I wasn't able to send final grades last semester courtesy of an extremely shitty professor, BUT the good news is that if I can pull A's in the classes that I am retaking this semester my CUM GPA will then be a 3.22, and grad school requires that it be a minimal 3.0. Fingers are crossed that things go accordingly, and that I can get in, the one downfall will be attempting to find housing halfway around the world a month before classes would begin. I have had people ask me questions on whether I have thought about applying anywhere in the USA, and the answer is yes (but being by an ocean is a major bonus so I am going to apply to UNC and FIU)
Life: I have started a workout routine with my little and then Amy, and I can say that workout sessions always tend to be entertaining when their company is present. Regardless of if it is getting caught up on all the latest things going on in each others lives, or running around the square and laughing when someone almost falls (mainly me). Speaking of falling, just to solidify the fact that I deserve an award for being the most accident prone person on the face of the earth, I managed to completely bust my ass on a banana today. Most of my friends that have heard this have said "That only happens in cartoons!", yes I know this, but I am pretty sure that the majority of my close friends can all agree that if anything only happens in stories or movies happens to me. As true as that statement may be, and how unfortunate it occasionally is depending on the situation, at least it adds entertainment to life and provides for some great stories later on, and life lessons that can be passed down to those nearest and dearest to me.
Banana incident: Best part of this was that I saw the banana peel on my way to the gym and thought, its going to be so funny when someone slips on that, and then of course I end up being that person. Ohhhh the irony. I managed to run at the gym, and get through 11.7 miles on the bike, but walking will ALWAYS be something I can never manage to grasp. The worst part was the fact that I could see my car from where it happened, and now I have banana on the top of my new running shoes that I was wearing for the second time because I just bought them over the weekend. Thanks to my little for coming to the rescue and meeting me with tissue paper in order to clean my knee some before attempting to further than my car to the sorority house, and Sarah for having bandaids.
Conclusions for the day: I deserve an award for how clumsy I am, and then I have also learned today that my BS tolerance is about as long as I am short. Here's to finding the entertainment in any situation, and for those friends that join in the laughs. Time to go pay attention in class, even though I would much rather be on a beach, but lets be honest-- who wouldn't rather be on a beach instead of dealing with bipolar weather and monotone professors?
Tomorrow I will have to post the playlist that has been getting me through this week, and some newly discovered gems.
