so sore

Me and Vi had an amazing workout with the Fitness magazine and resistance bands. I highly recommend them for a good challenge. There was this one exercise where you had to wrap the band around your feet and then to your hands and try to get into a push up position...then to proceed with the exercise. It was so hard to stretch that thing to get your hands out just a little bit away from your feet. VERY CHALLENGING!

Febuary is such a short month!

glued to my book just a little

Soooo I need to get out of the house. You can really only sit in the same spot for so long before you find something to to do besides never ending schoolwork! I want it to be spring break already...... two more weeks!!!

this movie is so awesome. clip here..

school is taking over my weekend!

I am very much not liking this A and P book. It is taking over my weekend with very hard words!!!! And I feel like a computer nerd because it is online. And I didn't get to play soccer because I had to do a quiz! This stinks. Never take online classes. KEYNOTE: It would have been worth it to stalk students and make them drop out so I could have their spot in the classroom. HA.

Well, on the upside I had such an awesome call today with a muslim family. I love them so much. They have the cutest children and they are just the sweetest most respectful couple. And they evenly correct all my messy Hindi, but they do it in such a nice way that you don't feel stupid.

ohh blogging instead of homework again

Vi and I had such an amazing work out today! Lake Mills exercise trail and then pilates by the lake. That place is beautiful and empty. So nice to be out doors and moving. Well back to the A and P class for me. It was fun the first month but now its beginning to be hard to find the motivation to do it. College classes are nice that they are such short semesters though. I had such a wonderful study with a Bengali girl last weekend. It is amazing the culture shock these girls face going from being princess in Bangladesh to being hard working americans!

ohhhh get this... my dad heard the service group was meeting at my house, bought a chunck of lamb to feed the indian service group lunch on saturday. very hospitable of him, yet so random. He is turning into quite the chef. This morning it was lentil soup and rice.

insane cat

OMG my cat has gone psycho. not only has he licked all of his fur, off well not all of it but a few chuncks, but not he stares at me from the corner of my room and then we make eye contact and than he bam jumps up on my desk and scatters all my index cards everywhere. It was so deliberate and I know he just wants more food. But no normal lazy indoor cat needs 2 bowls of food a day. Ohhh my, I fed him anyways, it has been exceptionally cold lately.

Now he just stares at me while licking his lips. This is getting so strange.

So Picasso, my cat, started losing patches of fur on his back it is so sad, but the front of him like his neck is super thick fur! So strange. Hopefully this fancy cat food will help him.

HELLO

WE got the living room all painted! It is actually very exciting no more weird ceiling with permanent cobwebs ahh. It is green and yellow now and no cobwebs!

YAY!!

day today

Schooling is really frying my brain lately. Well, not school, online classes. I made myself a rule that I wouldn't look at any other website besides my class......oh no I just viewed every old scary video that was on my computer.. yikes.. anyways.

My mom's dinner was amazing. Crepes with cajuan chicken and tomatoes and lettuce!! oh delicious.
melodica! I just found this old video... hehe its really long though

Chai Smoothie!

Alterra Coffee has the best chai ever. fairtrade and organic label. On top of that it tasted delicious and spicy! Thank goodness there is no alterra in florida otherwise I would be addicted! I almost didn't even get it because I am already so sold on there mango ginger yogurt smoothie!

I want to try this recipe

a weekend with av

Songs can bring back so many good memories. I found this album/compilation called A Good Crop- free download didn't work so they quickly emailed it to me, great customer service. The second volume has a song by Kotki Dwa called the Le Beau Charcutier. When me and Sophie went to the Tate modern this song was playing next to a unique painting of a pig/human with combs in his hair. That was such a great day. The Tate modern is by far, i think, the best museum I have been to or the most memorable at the least.

Went to visit ava last weekend. Oh I love family and brothers in laws and i guess maybe I could call them sisters in laws, too. Ice skating in 10 degree weather was quite memorable. Puffy coats are the way to go! Who cares if you look fat as long as you can move around without hyperventilating I am happy. Chicago was fantastic- Shedd aquarium was interesting. How can one not love a grumpy sea lion who turns his nose up at you! So cute!

Yeah so online classes maybe easy and open book and what not...but it is still hard to actually do the class and not just search the web!!!!
