Livin' Life

So I’ve had a pretty uneventful past few days. I’m still doing that job search thing…which by the way is absolutely awful and I’m slowly learning that Grad School may be coming for me quicker than I thought. I’ve been starting to think about which way I want to go with Grad school, whether it be education, nursing, or even go for the risk of coaching, which I feel can be hard to crack into. I have really enjoyed school like some have. I would much rather sleep through classes than actually pay attention and I would also much rather be out getting drinks with friends than study for tests. I know this is how most people probably feel as well, but I find school and classes to be absolutely awful and very painful. Maybe if I find my niche, I will actually enjoy sitting through lectures and doing all those painful assignments. Some enjoy taking classes just to learn more, like my sister who is taking a class to learn more about her field. She blogs on DivaDiggs.

With all this free time I have on my hands when I’m not searching the web for anything that pays, I have started to think about things that I can do to fill my time. So I went to a craft store to buy some paint and a few of those canvas things. So on Thursday night I painted. Now let me fill all of you in…I’m not creative. I can barely match my own clothes let alone put together something on a canvas that would look semi-decent. I went for the abstract route because I can barely write my name legibly and trying to make shapes and images come together is just impossible for me. So I started basic with some background colors and well…it didn’t end up too awfully. Here it is: I have to admit I’m impressed with what I did. So I think I may paint again, but I’m afraid I will ruin my proud moment as a painter.

I ran about 3 miles yesterday, I enjoyed the run but I was definitely hurting. Not running, or really not doing ANYTHING for about a month and a half really takes a toll. I’m really trying to get aggressive with my running, but some days I’d much rather lay on my couch. I’m joining a gym tonight which I’m very excited about because I can’t wait to get back into lifting weights. I don’t plan on being quite as aggressive with my lifting as I have been for the past four years. I feel if I can really get into lifting for endurance rather than strength and power, I will be much happier. Ahh I can’t wait to go to the gym (today must not be one of those days I want to spend laying on the couch!)
