In the motions, all the things that you say. It all will fall, fall right into place.

Things are well -- the weather is great, school is coming along nicely and I have found some motivation deep inside to do things in my best interest.

I applied for a biology job yesterday in the lab.  Hopefully I get it!!  That would be super cool.

I've been keeping up with yoga also!  Which is something that I promised myself I would try to do.  Next step:  master crow pose and move on to more advance asana.  As another unrelated exercise note -- rode 10 miles today!  Riding over 5 really makes me wish I had my road bike in check.  Oh well, soon enough.

***note:  get pedals, toe clips, new tubes, possibly new tires, bibs, jersey, wrap bars

Everything is falling right into place. :)

Falling right into place...

I am doing this blog in hopes of sparking the motivation that I seem to be lacking in my life as of late. It's a new year, and I am determined to treat it as such. To hell with the past, I am ready for a few changes.

Resolutions are pretty overrated in my opinion, but I think that I should at least set some goals to help me feel accomplished when this thing is all said and done.

My goals are as follows, but not limited to:
  • bike a ton -- let's say at least 3,000 miles this year, which turns out to be like 8 miles a day (it figures that I am already behind by 80 miles...)
  • do yoga more!!!
  • straight A's (a.k.a. take everything a bit more serious)
  • maintain a diet that consists of mostly vegan foods
  • start reading
School should be pretty good this semester seeing as I am starting to get in to my Major classes. A taste of my schedule, which seems is turning out to be 19 credit hours:
  • Economic Botany (2)
  • Elements of Genetics (3)
  • General Chemistry 1 (4)
  • General Chemistry Lab (1)
  • Trigonometry (2)
  • Basic Probability and Statistics (3)
  • Introduction to Independent Investigation (1-2)

As a side note, I have started drawing. I hope to turn these drawing into some sort of collaboration involving batik work. Nothing too special, but just something fun to do.
