Apologies and Updates

So I'm never going to say that I'm going to stick to a schedule ever again, especially at the end of my senior year. Well, luckily that won't be a problem again, but you get the idea.

So here's what my next two weeks look like:

• Monday 4/25
• Latin Lit: Paper 3 Due
• Tuesday 4/26
• Senior Seminar: Paper 3 Due
• Creative Writing: 10 Minute Play Due
• Wednesday 4/27
• English Drama: Paper 2 Due
• Thursday 4/28 
• Senior Seminar: Portfolio Due (Though this one might be moved to the week after...)
• Friday 4/29
• Relay for Life
• Saturday 4/30
• Rose Ball (tentative)
• Monday 5/2
• Islamic Lit: Capstone Project Due
• Latin Lit: Final Exam
• Wednesday 5/4
• English Drama: Final Exam
• Islamic Lit: Final Exam
• Thursday 5/5 
• Creative Writing: Portfolio Due

So, that's my schedule. You shouldn't really expect me to write anything here until I'm finished with all of this. Hopefully this summer I will have more time, but I'll be starting my graduate school classes and will be working as well, so I'm not sure.

As for the diet, it's actually going well. I've been sick this week so I haven't worked out, but I've been going to the gym regularly and can already tell a difference. Though I'll be busy next week, I'll still will be making time to work out because 1) I'll need time to de-stress and 2) being healthy is as important as school.

So if you're reading this please forgive me for not updating it as I had promised. From now on we'll just go on the premise that any post I make is a surprise for you. Happy birthday!

Until then, stay classy, America.

Update from the weekend and PLATYO

So yet again I promised to write a post and yet again I failed to deliver. But it's not my fault, I swear! So here's the rundown of my weekend and a PLATYO post as well.

This weekend was the filming of the Purple Glove Dance (PGD). If you don't know what that is, click here. This is the second year that the contest has been held, and last year our video entry won! Right now the video has over 44,000 views I think. And I was supposed to help film this year's video. Needless to say I was worried.

So the first thing I did was recruit the help of the wonderful Michele, the marketing and PR person for The GIVE Center. Thus began the PGD Dream Team. We started planning everything out and working hard to prepare for the filming that took place this weekend. And all of our hard work paid off, I do believe.We're still working through all of the footage we got, and we still have a make up day on Wednesday for any group that wasn't able to make it out this weekend, but from what I've seen so far it looks amazing. And rest assured, I'll make a post as soon as it's up.

So that's what I've been doing this weekend. Stressing out and worrying about how everything was going to turn out. But now let's move on to PLATYO.

At the beginning of the week I got a three day trial membership to a local gym here. And I loved it. So I talked to the guy working there and they had a special for Greeks, so I got a really good rate too. I also got a 24 hour pass, so I won't have any excuse not to work out.

I just finished the first week of working out and I feel great! I'm just now getting over being sore. For the first three days I could barely move. It felt great. Now I'm starting to get over that and I'm really enjoying it. I've also made more of a workout schedule, so now I know what I'm doing when I get in there.

The only thing is I have not been eating right at all. I've eaten out a lot this week, and have missed a lot of meals too. But hopefully things are starting to calm down a little which means I'll be able to plan out my meals better. I might have to start cooking dinners for Monday and Tuesday on Sunday because I won't get home until 9:30 or later. Other than that, I think my first week of PLATYO has gone very well!

So that's the scoop on the weekend. I apologize again for not updating this like I said I would, but I have had a crazy hectic weekend, and now I have to play catch up on school. Again. *Sigh...*

...and in case I don't see you; good afternoon, good evening and goodnight.
