Best alternative to the gym ever!!

Hey everyone!

So I can't say I've ever been an avid "gym" person. I could never get motivated to actually go for a long enough period of time to get any real workouts accomplished. However, I have found the best alternative ever! Some of my really good friends live upstairs from me and have become avid rock climbers. There is a indoor rock climbing and bouldering place right in Manchester in the Mills. I got invited to go a couple of weeks ago on a Tuesday because Tuesday and Thursdays are half price for bouldering for college girls. I thought I was going to be HORRIBLE at it. (I'm not exactly what you would call an athletic girl) Well, let's just say, IT'S AMAZING! I loved it. I wasn't as horrible at it as I thought I was going to be and it was a way better work out then a bunch of ill-placed crunches at the gym. Don't get me wrong, the gym at SNHU is great. Fully equiped with plenty of machines and places to do all kinds of workouts. (Actually there is even a small rock climbing wall right in the gym) But if you want a different atmostphere, at least go try it out. I love it!

Basically that's the most interesting thing thats been happening to me over the past couple of weeks. Hope all is well with all of you. Talk to you soon.

PS. I'm going to a Secondhand Serenade concert tonight. It's a really good band. You should definitely check it out :)

sorry i have to represent my New Jersey roots!!

My days back at school have been a whirlwind. I have been getting used to 7am classes again after being able to sleep late over break. (Remember not everyone has 7am classes but culinary/baking majors definitely do.) It's kind of weird but I actually think I missed my set schedule when I was home. Getting back into the swing of things has been taking up most of my time recently (well other than watching the GIANTS WIN THE SUPERBOWL [sorry i had to do it again])

Its really unbelievable how the friends you make at school really do become like a second family. I never realized how much I was going to miss everyone until it actually happened. Its really a strange feeling but its pretty fabulous when you think about it.

Well thats all for now. Talk to you all soon!
