As Impatient As I Wanna Be

So you'll be surprised to know that although school starts in less than 4 weeks, I've barely heard a PEEP from my future school. I say barely because they were kind enough to send me a PICTURE of my financial aid award. Yes a PICTURE! I can't see the full award letter or accept my wonderful loans because someone in the IT office decided to wait until the last minute to set up our online accounts. Welcome to an HBCU huh? Michigan, you definitely spoiled me. Thanks ALOT!

OK I lied! They sent us an email like 5 days ago asking for our current mailing addresses so they could send us "the packet". Ok, where is this packet? I mean....it normally takes about 3 days for mail to travel from Nashville to Detroit (not that I've ever received mail from Nashville other than my acceptance letter lol). I expected "the packet" to be mailed immediately following my reply to their email. Maybe it will be here Tuesday.....

I'm trying to keep my level of anxiety down but it's verrrrrryyy hard. I'd like to see a schedule or an order of events for our orientation week or a post card...SOMETHING! It's very frustrating! But, to keep my sanity, I've been living on studentdoctor.net and youtube and reading/viewing about the experiences of current medical students. Yeah I know, you probably think that's insane but I can't help it. I'm also trying my hardest not to crack open my newly acquired biochem book or my anatomy book from last year. Everyone says not to pre-study. But what else can I do in an apartment with no money, no cable and having access to internet is a rare occasion? Everything is driving me INSANE! But it's ok. I know I'm not the only insane one lol From our facebook group, I get the feeling that at least half the class is as insane (if not more) as I am. They're definitely just as impatient. Hmmm.....well off to youtube!

Later!

350 Workouts This Year!

<This post was written on my other blog (the one I am neglecting) on May 26th, 2011>

 

Speaking of my shortfall with committing to things....well here's another thing to add to the list: exercise regimens. So, earlier this year, I made a challenge on the Long Hair Care Forum called "I Commit to ____ Workouts in 2011". I got all riled up and excited (as most of us do around New Years) and committed to 350 workouts. I know, I know! There are only 356 days in the year. But I figured that there are virtually NO reasons that I should not be able to fit a 10 minute workout in every single day. So how's that been working for me?

Well, today is going to make workout #83. Yes, I'm behind on my workouts. Let's see: today is May 26th--the 26th day of the 5th month so I should be somewhere around workout #116 (rough estimate). Sadly, I'm 33 workouts short. Things have come up, I've traveled alot, I've been sick, I've made excuses but lately, I've been staying on track and I'm trying my hardest to keep up and catch up.

I've been working out twice a day for the past couple of weeks and the energy I have during and after my workouts is AMAZING. That benefit alone should encourage me to get my butt up and workout every morning. But still, waking up just to workout is still pretty difficult for me. I just HATE waking up in the morning. But who said life is supposed to be easy? NO ONE, that's who! So I'm getting my butt off this computer so I can break a sweat with Leslie Sansone. Walking away the pounds has been GREAT!

Ttyl lovelies!

Can't Commit?

What is wrong with me? Seriously! It's like....I can't commit to anything. I rarely commit any challenge I join, I can't commit to study schedules, and I can't commit to this freaking blog! I LOVE to write. I write in my journal everyday. But for some reason, I just can't find the right PUSH that I need. I don't want to say that I'm not motivated. Because I truly want to do it. I want to share my thoughts, passions, tips, techniques, and progress with the world. I want to encourage others to embark on their own hair, fitness, and health journey. It's just something about commitments that I'm not good with. I can't even commit to making youtube videos smh. It's something I'm working on, I promise you. Maybe I should pray about it. Prayer always works!
