what to say, what to say?

school: things are picking up. i am starting to enjoy one of my classes. its called acute altercations. learning about that, on top of theories and how to treat these acute altercations with specialized care. obviously there are other courses but this one is a stand-out for me right now.

books: continuing to read long way down. its about two people's (one is ewan mcgregor) journey from scotland to capetown on their motorcycles. it can get a bit dry at times but they do have some interesting bits. some of their work is to bring awareness to some issues as they explained how to deconstruct a landmine, and learned about a charity that relies on motorcycles to treat people with HIV as the bikes can take a lot of the off roading that a car cannot. i am intrigued to rent the documentary after this.

movies: saw a movie with anita over the weekend. country strong. so not what i thought it would be about (i was going in thinking it was chick flick). but it was still really good. although maybe anita and i should have contained ourselves at some points because some scenes (in our opinion) were outright ridiculous (and we were smirking) while others found it incredibly sad.

scrapbooking: been doing lots of this lately. almost done 2008 (just in time since i am now in 2011). a lot of the scrapbooking was our hikes as we did 3 that year. i completed the final hiking spread last weekend. as of right now i have been scanning  a lot of mark's pictures. my parent's got me a digital frame for christmas uploaded with tons of photos of myself and my family. so i thought it would be nice for some of mark's childhood pictures (and pics of ourselves) to be uploaded. check here to see what a cutie he was! :)

photos: this photo a day thing is a bit harder than i thought. quite frankly i am not that interesting. i do a lot of the same things and when i don't i seem to be forgeting my camera. i am going to try to keep it up. but if you find it boring, sorry! :) i will probably look back on this and laugh at some of the silly pics i have taken.

work: this has been picking up. with the bitter cold of last week there was no chance of relief as many of the clients were not coming in themselves. this week has turned around a bit, and same for a bit of next week too. it is nice to work a bit more. i think my brother is right when he says that i won't know what to do with myself when i just have one job and no school....he he. i like being busy.

eating well and exercise: that is going pretty good. i still have my indulgences of junk food and i know i am far from perfect when it comes to that...but i have been trying out some healthy foods lately. AND i am kind of enjoying cooking because of those different things! even my chef role model (my dad) seems impressed. PLUS its good to talk to him because he is always good for some tips. the exercise is going well too. i have jumped back into the winter gym schedule. i have to admit that i sometimes find it hard because i really just want to be outside working out...but i must be patient...it will come sooner than i think...FEBRUARY!

how is that for a summary of things done???

have a great night!
love
