Darn Tropical Storm Fay!

For three weeks in a row I ran four days a week. Granted it was only two miles, but I found time to fit in a run, and it felt great! The roommate and I also kept up with doing abs, squats, and push ups. Unfortunately, due to continuous rain, my running did not happen last week; however, the roommate and I kept up with our other work outs and incorporated jumping jacks. I don't remember jumping jacks being so exhausting, when I was a kid. Fortunately, school starts this week, which means I can run in the gym on campus if it's raining. I am very excited about that! The schedule for the group exercises classes is pretty disappointing this semester. I had planned on going to the 6:15 am spin class, but now the earliest class is at 8 am. And they got rid of the relaxation class, which also made me sad. I am going to try and fit in some spin, abs, and hopefully a jump roping class during the week. At the very least, I want to keep up with running a minimum of three days a week.

After all of my continuous studying, I passed two of the four proficiency exams. I am not accustomed to failing, so it was a bit painful to hear. I passed analytical and organic chemistry, which was nice. I did not pass the inorganic test, but in my defense I've never taken inorganic, so I can't be too upset with myself. I also did not pass the physical chemistry test, but I had only taken a lighter version of the class at least four years ago. Oh well. This means I will be auditing the undergraduate classes, and I have to pass them with a B or better. No problem. I obviously need to learn/remember more anyway.

As dorky as it sounds, I'm looking forward to classes starting tomorrow. My TA assignment is great, so I'm relieved about that.

I went home to visit my family last weekend and took some pictures of my niece. She is absolutely adorable! Her hair is starting to have a red tint to it. Next week Chris and I are going to Sarasota for his friend's wedding. I'm really looking forward to getting dressed up. I got a dress last weekend, compliments of my amazing boyfriend, and I can't wait to wear it!

I hope everyone is doing great! I'll try to keep up with blogging my weekly work out schedule and running log. I've been slacking!
