So one really fun elective I took this quarter was Herbology! The instructor happened to be Brigette Mars, raw foodist, herbalist, and author of this book I got a while ago called, "RawSome!". I was so excited to have her teaching the class and was just really motivated by her past and present! I learned all about herbs, remedies, and just how to be a healthier person without taking drugs (medical drugs ;)) to do it!

Been a while...
So sorry to keep all of my followers wondering where this beach bum has been for the past couple of months! This quarter has been hard for me because of the lack of physical contact and the intense brain work. I have still been learning so much and have been becoming more and more aware of my body, the way I move, my posture, and what I still need to work on to keep growing into a better person.
The quarter's end is this Friday and although at this moment I am feeling a little stressed about the week to come and the tests to come, I am very excited! This will be the last quarter of Anatomiken and although it was a great class which consisted of building TONS of muscles with clay, I am happy I wont have to keep memorizing origin, insertion, and actions of every muscle! Last Friday was the last class of Ethics and EK1. Ethics was great! I learned about some things that may come up while I'm massaging someone...literally and figuratively! ;) This week I have 3 more days of classes left and two finals and then a nice break!
At this moment, the sky is grey and it's been a dreary, rainy day...it's been like this for the last week, excluding yesterday. This weather depresses me...don't know if I'm just someone who loves the sun and loves to feel like everything around me is bright and happy but I hope the skies open up soon! I've been working hard this quarter and am also looking hard for jobs right now. I want something part time but am at the point where the savings are running out and I need to start gaining some money so I don't become broke like the rest of the people around me! I was hoping to move into my own place but unfortunately it's not the time so I am keeping that goal in the back of my mind and will reach it sooner or later (hopefully sooner).
Boulder and Denver are great! After coming home this last time I realized that I no longer feel at "home" in Northern Virginia. Everything is the way I left it but after long talks, I realized, I am the one who is changing. I enjoy a life of less stress. I enjoy learning about alternative medicines, healthier lifestyles, and surrounding myself with people who like to be calm. I love everyone in Northern Virginia and will still come visit but I do not feel at peace there anymore. I'm hoping that during my (almost) month off this summer I will be working but also get a chance to explore more of Colorado, the place I currently call "home". I want to visit a Hot Springs, the Dunes, and some wineries. I hear it's beautiful here in the summer but HOTTTT! I'm looking forward to it and to really getting to know myself and my world more!
Wishing everyone a great week to come! Namaste and Shalom.
