I had a long weekend for Presidents day and decided to get out and explore Boulder a little more. On Saturday I was at the grocery store dropping off a movie and thought to myself, "it's a sunny, warm, beautiful day...why not get out and get some exercise?!"...I checked for parks and recreation areas in my GPS (I call her "Destiny") and was headed to Chautauqua .
It was a 45 min. long solo hike and I really enjoyed stopping, taking pictures, catching my breath, and just taking it all in. :)
The next day I went on a longer hike in boulder with two of my classmates, Chad and Adam. I am not as in shape as they are so I had to make them wait for me a couple of times but it was really nice to get out there again. We took a detour and saw some of the really nice boulder homes on the foothills. I will have to upload some photos but it was a great day! I felt sick that night and am still not sure why...maybe dehydration, exhaustion, stress...who knows but it was a good weekend for hiking and I hope to discover more places! :)

Midterms
Well it's been a while since I've written, and I do apologize but sometimes I just don't feel like writing or I am just busy with school and life.
I've made it more than halfway through a quarter at BCMT and have learned so much! Some days I feel like I just started massage school and other days I feel like I should be out working on the public! ;)
So far, I have all A's!!! YES, I have been studying a lot...it's harder than undergraduate school in a lot of ways because you learn so much information in a short period of time but it's so much more fun! Imagine going to school 3 days a week in sweats or workout clothes...receiving and giving bodywork everyday...and basically having the same people in all of your classes...it's very comforting and fun!
While I love school and love to constantly learn, I am running out of money...yes, I have savings and yes, I planned for school but if anyone wants to send me some money feel free! ;) jk. No, really, I decided one day to make fliers and advertise myself as a babysitter and lately I have been working hard for the money! :) I babysat/worked Fri. night, Sat. night, Tues. night, and tonight (wed. night). I don't mind and it is great to see little kids around again. I miss my nephew and all the kids at Gold's gym!!! :( I also get a chance to do homework, blog, and catch up on movies!
This coming week is going to be tough...I have a presentation Friday with my study group, and two midterms/exams on Monday. One of the exams is a hands on Shiatsu exam and I am so excited to do a full 50min. of bodywork! :) I'm looking forward to getting those big things out of the way because it just means that I am THAT MUCH CLOSER to finishing my first quarter here!
Oh, and one more thing...Friday I have my first Clinic! I am working on someone I know for the first clinic and then the next two will be "open to the public"!!!! :) I guess it's time to study!
