I totally forgot about this site. Yeah, the hardest part for me was applying and getting ALL the paperwork settled. I didn’t have enough time to apply for student loans so I paid for my tuition from my savings. I already have one semester under my belt and my finals are next month for my second semester. I’m proud of anyone who wants to go back and succeeds in doing it. I wish I had done this sooner…
Now I have to work on better study habits. My grades are pretty good though.

I keep a notebook and write down the stats of what I did on the treadmill like how long, how many laps, calories burned, etc. It’s just easier doing that then getting a gym membership.
But sometimes I get in a funk and stop for a week or two.
I need to set up a regular time to work out. I seem to only do it when I get upset or whatever and need to release pent up energy.
I started watching some DVDs I bought and never got around to viewing while walking the entire time. Seems to be working!
I used to mess up my whole sleep pattern because of summer by staying up ALL NIGHT (when it’s so quiet that I can finally get some work done), going to bed between 7-9am… and then getting up by dinner time for most folks…or I would fall asleep at 7pm and get up between 3-5am…which is also horrible.
Lately I’ve been getting tired at around 11pm which makes me get up 7-9 hours after that.
What helps is my blinds don’t do a sufficient job in keeping the sunshine out. I also walk for an hour on the treadmill after 9ish watching Wonderfalls on DVD.
But even with that, last night I stayed up to 3am watching a movie and got up at around 10:30am today…
Eh, you can afford nights like that.
I don’t want to be wide awake at night anymore like the natural nightbird that I am…there’s so much to do in the daylight! =)
