widener

So here at Widener we got a three day weekend!! Due to the snow school ended up being canceled. I didn't do any sledding or snowman building. When I got the text at 6:15 saying school had been canceled I immediately turned off my alarm and went back sleep and slept till 10:30. I have been recovering from an upper respiratory infection and the extra sleep was quite beneficial. At that point I didn't particularly care about playing in the snow. The rest of the day I pretty much just relaxed and played some video games. I did go to the gym which wasn't really relaxing, but it was worth while.

So I was given a list of tips on how to avoid "blogger's block" one of the suggested topics to talk about was "How are you different now than you were in high school?"

I figured I would share how I have changed from high school. In high school I was very shy and defiantly not outgoing. I had very low confidence and didn't even think I would amount to anything to be honest. Luckily I decided to go to college with a positive attitude and was determined. In high school my graduating GPA was a 2.2, I really didn't try in high school. I don't even know how I ended up with a 2.2. Regardless I wanted to do better in college. My first semester at Widener I got a 3.9! So to make a long story short. In college I became more outgoing and tried my hardest not to be shy. I have met a lot of great people here at Widener and wouldn't want to go anywhere else. Widener has provided me with opportunities to open up as a person. I still am some what shy and not the most outgoing person in the world, but every day is a new day right? When I look back at high school I am a completely different person. I have learned so much about myself. Well enough of this babbling about my life and how much I have changed. I have a micro test to study for..... peace

So over the past couple weeks I've started training for the MS-170 Coast the Coast Bike tour. It helps raise money to support people who have multiple sclerosis (MS) through sponsoring support groups as well as camps for kids whose parents have MS. It also raises money to fund research to help find a cure for MS, because at this time there are no cures only therapeutic measures that can lessen the severity of symptoms. The bike ride itself is 170 miles over two days and is a lot of fun, so I really looking forward to participating in it again. This will be my third year. It is hard to find time to get to the Wellness Center (gym) with all the activities and school work I have to keep up with. I'm hoping that I will be ready by May. While it is still three months away it is important to start training as early as possible.

This past weekend I hung out with my girlfriend on Saturday and Sunday. We watched this independent film called "Kiss of the Spider Woman." It was about two guys in prison and how they pass the time while they are in there. Overall I thought it was a pretty good movie, though since I was really tired I kind of was falling asleep, but my girlfriend kept waking me up because it’s her favorite movie and she wanted me to watch it. We also went out for late night coffee and cheese cake. Yes, I know it is an odd combination.
This week will be busy and probably somewhat stressful as I have an anatomy test this week and a whole bunch next week. Well that’s all for now…peace
