It's starting to get really windy around here, and generally when it gets windy in Ellensburg that means the weather is changing. It's starting to get warmer and rainier, although the wind makes it really cold to walk to class in so we still have to bundle up. Hopefully it will snow in the mountains though, because these last two weekends of ski teaching have been pretty miserable weather-wise. There's patches of dirt and rocks all over and a bunch of unmarked holes that if you're not careful you might ski right into them.
Still been going to the gym, probably won't be up for the Smelt Run. I was thinking perhaps though trying to make it to the Tulip Run in April because I've always wanted to go to the Tulip Festival anyway.
A couple weeks ago we took our first exam in my Nutrition class and I totally thought I did awful on it, but we got our grades back last week and turns out I got an 86%! Much better than I had expected! Our next exam is tomorrow and I studied a lot more this time around, so my grade should be even better. I have no clue what my English grade is, and I have an A in math (duh.). English class has actually been challenging this time around. We're reading some really challenging stuff, or at least I think it's challenging. The last book we read was Borderlands/La Frontera by Gloria Anzaldua, which was probably the most difficult thing I've ever read. It's definitely interesting though.
Hi Hannah. Enjoyed reading this latest entry in your blog. The book you mention sounds fascinating. In fact, I think I'll order it from Amazon. It will be good to see you whenever you can make it -- Tulip Run or some other occasion.
ReplyDeleteWell classes sound like going pretty good there. As to Nutrition, I bet they have some info and ideas that are way different than what I learned "back then"! However, it is painfully obvious to me, an older sage, that (unless you are genetically unhealthy) your nutrition habits (along with your attitude toward things and how active you keep yourself) is one of tthe biggest determinates in your quality of life, especially as you grow older. So, no more deep-fried twinkies!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking I will be able to do the 3.1 miler for the Smelt Run, unless I get hurt! Then aiming for the 5-miler at the Tulip run (they also have a 2 miler) in early April - so hope you can make that. Weather is always iffy - sometimes great, sometimes awful, sometimes so-so!
Read about that book - most liked it, some thought it was too much of a rant and whine. What did you think? It's a topic of much interest to BL. I had never heard of it.
Sun coming tomorrow for three days! Woo Hoo! Been a lot of gray and gloom and drizzle.
Adios.
I thought the book was interesting, and overall I liked it, it's just not what I'm used to reading, I suppose. I think I need to reread it and go through it slower this time and then I'll be able to understand more of it. In class we only got about a week to read it!
ReplyDeleteIf I do make it up there for the Tulip Run, I'd probably do the 5-miler as well.
