I could go into how everything went haywire, but I'll focus on the high points...does that work for everyone? I thought so! :)
-I've been trudging through and adjusting to the set-up of Calc II/Physics, which accounts for about 3/4 of my hours this semester. I have been doing pretty good in Physics, although it has required me to somewhat change up my way of thinking. Calc II has had some challenges mostly due to teaching difficulties, but I took my first test today. I can honestly say that I felt pretty confident about it after I left. Also, it had a bonus question that I'm fairly certain I got...let's hope that my confidence on the matter will correlate with my test score!
-I went to an awesome running form clinic on Saturday morning! There were only three of us attending the clinic, so we got lots of one-on-one coaching, which made it much better. Our instructor is a certified natural running coach for Newton shoes, and she taught us lots of great techniques to convert to a natural style of running. What is natural running, you say? I'm so glad you asked! Here is a great website that can better explain the process, if that interests you! FYI, I am on the track to convert from heel-striking to mid-foot striking, which is much more difficult than one would think. I also ended up getting a new pair of shoes with my 15% clinic attendance discount! I'm starting with a transitional model that will help to aid in the new running style. Check out my snazzy new shoes! I am in love with them!!!
-Saturday was also a big deal for little Cole, because that was his baptism day! I am happy to say that I am a Godmother to another of my adorable nephews! The whole ceremony went well, and Cole was his normal happy, cheerful self! Thanks to my proxy photographers, I got some good pictures! Enjoy!
The Hladik-Moody family picture!
All of us girls with Cole...wish I would've been looking more directly at the camera :-/
The proud Godparents with little Cole!
-I've recently gotten back in contact with my former roomie, Carissa! Thank heavens for the advents in technology that make these things much easier! All is well with her, and she is loving her married life, which makes me happy to hear! Nothing like catching up with a good friend!
-I'm pretty pumped about this Wednesday, because it is the annual big event for Tevis's church...Battle of the Schools! Okay, so you hear battle and church in the same sentence, and it might not strike you as being too "church-y", but basically they incorporate all of the schools of the members and they have a scavenger hunt of sorts in their own school. For example, they're given a list that includes things like bringing the tallest person in school, or a football player, or a band member. They also have various contests...think "Minute to Win It"-like games. Needless to say, it is the first time I've ever been, and I'm excited to see how it will go!
-Random final funny thought for the day: In Physics, we have been going over vectors and projectile motion problems. It is a problem that everytime my teacher says the word vector, I think of "Despicable Me" and the way that Andy used to jump around, shouting "Vector...Oh yeah! Oh yeah!" at the top of his lungs, doing the motions? Yeah, every time, I nearly bust up laughing in class, and no one else gets why...story of my life! Here's the clip for your enjoyment!
Congratulations on the baptism. E's is next week and I really need to plan something. As for the natural running, that is what Able and I do and love. It has made all the difference for me. Enjoy!
