Fellow Students and I learned a Valuable New Skill

It is so close to the end of the semester! I can't even wait. Although there is a downside. (other than finals.) My fellow classmates are starting to get on my nerves. I know that my complaining classifies me as an annoying person/student, but o well. I have to let out my frustration here, or else I will blow up in class and everyone will find out how truly crazy I am. There are a few people who are complete arrogant know it alls. (I admit I am definitely capable of being a know-it-all. Just ask my family) Anyways! We are talking about whether people with fake prosthetics legs can sprint faster than a person with normal legs. Because a man with no legs wanted to compete in the regular Olympics. We were giving our opinions, and I said that we need to do more research to see if the man with prosthetic legs actually has an advantage. Then... this guy tells me to my face that I am wrong and that normal people and disabled people should not compete against each other. I tell him that I disagree, and then he goes off like he knows exactly what he is talking about. Well sorry! dude. Last time I checked, we are all sitting in a undergraduate PE class in southern utah... I am pretty sure that there are no experts on lower leg prosthetics in class. So stop acting like you have a PhD. Bah! oookay I feel much better. I am sure that you love to listen to me vent. ... or not So I am now going to some crazy classes at Gold's Gym. haha! I am going to Power Pump and Cardio Blast class. haha! awesome. The instructors always have huge muscles and are in good shape. I am the one in the back who is trying to keep up. And I am the girl with no muscles and I have the legs of hackin giraffe... (girls in high school always said I had flamingo legs.... what does that even mean?!!) bah. Anyways, the cardio class was so hackin hard! holy crap. It has been a long time since I have wanted to keel over and die because of a workout. I also did a lap of lunges around the track and 300 calf raises last Saturday. Needless to say, I spent most of this week limping around. Ouch... curse you Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. You are the bane of my existence. I try to convince myself that soreness is good, but I still whine when I have to stand up and walk to my next class. The front door of my apartment broke. The key would not unlock the door. ughhhh. So we decided to not lock the door, until it was fixed. But! She locked it anyways one night... So.... I learned a new and valuable skill. I can now break in to my apartment using my golds gym pass. (who knew that a golds gym pass could have so many uses) So I have been breaking into my apartment daily because the door is locked. I would not be surprised if someone thinks I am a thief. Would the cops believe me if I told them this was my apartment? haha! I can now break into my apartment faster than unlocking the door. Who knew a golds gym card could open my door easier than a key? It has been fixed, but I am a little worried about other people breaking in. (If I can figure it out, then that means that ANYONE can) Ah! Someone is going to break in and kill me in the middle of the night... So, I shall conclude on that cheery note....

What a Crazy Week!

O ya. I totally killed the biomechanics test! yes! awesome. Anyways, I had a strange week... I had three tests and a final presentation on obesity. phew it is over. They all went pretty well I think. I was also in charge of an intramural pickleball tournament. It was a success, and it was quite hilarious. I was in a group of five and somehow I became the leader... (Even though I have no idea how brackets and tournaments work and I don't know anything about pickleball.) It was totally random. I have played pickleball a few times in my life, and I didn't even know what it was until I came to Cedar city. I don't know the rules, yet somehow everyone else in the group was reporting to me... ah. I am not into the March madness thing. I have no clue how to work a tournament and organize the brackets and seed the teams... wha!? I think this has proven my skill of delegating all of the work to others, while leaving all of the easy stuff to me. hmmmm. is that sneaky? It is okay though. I paid for it later. So, most of the group helped out, except two girls. They didn't do much, and on the second day they played in the tournament instead of organizing it. psh.. I somehow ended up by myself at the table trying to figure out the brackets that another kid organized. haha! Needless to say, I was totally brain dead by the end of the night. And! most of the pickleball players think I am a brainless blonde. Do you know how many blonde jokes I get? It is ridiculous! At least one per week. what the heck? Okay so I might be a little on edge sometimes, but that doesn't make me dumb. The jokers think that they are so funny. Guess what people! That was so ten years ago. Maybe it is a southern utah thing, Cedar city is a little behind on everything. Well this is short and sweet. and i would like to conclude that two of my friends were engaged this week. ah crazy. (congrats Dani and Shelly) The first of my friends to be engaged. and so it begins...
