realization of the day: this studying-every-day thing is surprisingly new. i don't know how I ever graduated college.

i worked out for the first time in such a long time! i went for a jog for the first time in years. there's a nice bike path and "green belt" right behind my place, so I though i'd utilize that opportunity to my benefit. also, i saw an enlarged heart today, and not only was it gross, but it kinda scared me to start exercising and take care of myself more. so go out, take a jog or a ballet class or do yoga poses (like madonna in the gap commercial, the tree pose is hard!) or dance like there's no tomorrow to maroon 5 (i did that once :).

a goal of mine: as i got buried in classes, i've really been feeling the need for balance in my life. it would be so easy to study all day and night and go to class and not do anything else besides that. but i would be such a boring person! not to mention the fact that i'd be miserable. i love reading "fun" websites, like the food section in newspapers and the like, and i think that's not always a bad thing. i am so thankful that my parents have really encouraged surrounding me with culture (like music, horseback riding, dance), and now I'm able to enjoy all these things.

i mention horseback riding cuz i'm going this weekend. :) brings back long buried childhood memories.

we get to play doctor tomorrow, yay. i'm excited.
