The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (for 8/29)
Hello! Here we go! My week-in-review...
The Good:
1) I made it through my first full week of school! I think my favorite classes are going to be Biochemistry and Intro to Health Care.
2) My scale tipped into the 214's this week! That may sound like a high weight (and it is), but I was up to 230 this summer. I have not been this "light" for a long, long time. Go me!
3) The Olympics have been great this year. Did you see the results of the men's synchronized diving? Two Greek men won it. It was a very improbable win, because most of their training was done in a pool with only one diving board! Oh, and their high marks from the judges were primarily based on the fact that they both committed an error at the exact same time, giving the illusion of synchronization. Amazing!
The Bad:
1) US athletes. They are braggarts. They strut around. They pose for the camera. Many of our track and field athletes are just an embarrassment to our country when it comes to their sportsmanship. I was mortified to see one of our hurdlers fall, and not get back up. I think a DNF is more embarrassing than a last place finish any day.
2) Creighton Soccer. The soccer was good (they beat the mighty Kangaroos of UMKC 1 - 0), but the night was a let-down. I went primarily to meet people, and I only saw 4 of my classmates. I was sort of apprehensive and nervous about mingling, but I went... and so I was upset that all that inner turmoil was for nothing. Oh well, there will be other chances.
The Ugly:
1) My throat. I have some sort of viral deal going on, and my throat hurts terribly. It doesn't stop me from talking (grin). I think that my body is a little fatigued from coping with my new schedule. I am up at 6 am daily (2 hours earlier than my earliest stirring in the summer), and am doing a TON more in a day that I have in a long time.
See ya!
