Ten on Tuesday

One day, I will have something more interesting to write about than what has happened all week. Also, I will have more time for this after school is out...Anyway, here goes!

1. Racquetball has gone quite well for Tonisha and I, although I have a feeling that our time playing is drawing to a close for the summer. It has been great, even with all of the bumps and bruises we have incurred while playing. I have gained a smidgen of coordination, although I am still prone to getting hit in the head with the ball. Such is life, I suppose. I have enjoyed this very much and I hope that we will still play next year!

2. Since the weather has been so beautiful recently, I have been getting out and running on a more regular basis. On a happy note, I have found a "Couch to 5K" workout program, and I am enjoying this because it gives me an idea of where to start and how to ease into it without burning out. (I usually start hard and burn out before long because of shin splints, muscle soreness, etc.) I am hoping that I can get back to where I once was as a runner. I decided this time that I am going out with a goal, because I always end up losing motivation. My goal is a 5K race here in Enid around the end of May. I still need to send in my registration, but I have every intention of accomplishing this. Also, my sisters just might join me for the 5K, which I am really hoping they do, because I need accountability in some form. Here's hoping it will all go well!

3. Our PLC trip on Friday was great. Minus the fact that it was unseasonably cold on Friday morning while we rode Segways, I had a great time! If you have never ridden a Segway, I recommend it! We started out getting a short tutorial, then we went out with our tour guide to go through downtown OKC. Although I am somewhat familiar with OKC, it was interesting to hear about all of the development that has taken place in Bricktown through the years. For anyone who is interested, here is a link for the tour group. It would be well worth the money for an afternoon of fun! After the tours, we enjoyed a nice lunch at Cattleman's, although I would've gone for Spaghetti Warehouse. (It was right next to the Segway depot, and smelled wonderful.) All in all, it was a great day!

4. Friday night was just as nice, because Tonisha, Mary, and I all went to see "The Lucky One" in theaters. Thankfully, we planned on going to the later showing, because the 7:00 showing sold out. I really liked the movie, and it met my expectations being that it was an adaptation. The casting was good, and they kept true to the story, which I really liked. Also, Zac Efron was a nice addition, if you know what I mean!

5. I enjoyed a nice girls' day on Saturday with my mom, sisters, and Taylor (Jeremy's daughter). We all got pedicures, then had a great lunch at Katy's Pantry. It's days like those that really make me appreciate the strong relationships I have with the women in my family. It was a great day!

6. That evening, Emily had a cookout at her house. The boys loved the fact that they got to roast their own hot dogs on their sticks. Tevis happened to be there, much to the boys' delight. Soon after we arrived, Cody and Wyatt drafted us to play soccer with them. It ended up being more of Cody and Wyatt latching on to Tevis's leg and us running frantically from end to end, but it was still fun for us. At the end of the night, Scotty made his famous dutch oven cobbler, which was just great!

7. Finals week is next week. I also have to move out next week. Yuck. The only final I have next week that I am concerned about is my Calc final, which is comprehensive. My Biology final is just a chapter test, so that shouldn't be anything too stressful. I came to the realization today that my Calc final will be the first math final I have ever taken. It will be the first of many, I'm sure, but hopefully, it will go well.

8. Speaking of Calc, I took my last regular test in that class today. I was really dreading it, but now that I have taken it, I really don't feel too bad about it. I think that I just might have done well, so I hope that my hunch is correct! It feels so nice not to have to worry about homework anymore!

9. The worst part about the last week of school is how many things that are packed into it. Because of PLC obligations, I have six different events going on this week...three of those are on the same day. I will be glad when I am done with all of these things. However, I could be paying for college, so I can't complain too much! :)

10. Last weekend, I got my birthday present from Gina and Emily...my iPod!!! I am super duper excited about it, and it is my new favorite gadget! It took me the better part of yesterday to get all 46 (no exaggeration there) hours of music from my computer imported into iTunes. What can I say, I love music, which makes this gift that much better for me! I also purchased a few songs off of iTunes, and I think my new favorite thing on there is the 69 cent list. Thank you, thank you thank you to Gina and Emily for the awesome present!!!!!
