sooo....

My semester is officially over and I think I've met my 4.0 goal!

Even though I've been done with my finals since this morning, I think I'll stay in town a few more days and keep Ryan company. I can't wait to sleep in my own bed and have my own bathroom back, but I also know I'll miss everybody a week or so into break, so I'm putting it off for the moment.

Ryan and I have recently discovered a little park/bike and running trail right across the street from his town home and now we're obsessed! He rides his bike and I run alongside him, pausing to look at the ponds and to take brief off-roading adventures. Unfortunately we discovered it right as the weather starts getting frigid so we might have to put off this activity for a few months.

In related news, I really miss being physically fit, so I've decided it's time to get in shape! Last week I ran three days, this week I plan to run five days, and once I get home I can finally get back to the gym and.. my favorite.. YOGA WITH MY MOM! So excited! In addition, I've started drinking a cup of green tea every morning, given up soda (soda is liquid Satan!), and consciously upped my veggie/fruit intake while lowering processed carbs. Exercise I can do.. eating right is the big struggle for me. If things go well or I find an awesome workout routine/healthy snack, I'll share as I go along. Otherwise, wish me luck!

I hope everyone is studying efficiently and having success with their final exams.

Good luck and have an awesome night!
