I can't believe it's finally Friday. This week moved at a crawl. This will by far be the busiest semester I've had. Long days on campus. Also, joining clubs to start building up my resume will fill up my nights. The only upside to being this busy, is by the time I do finally go to bed, I'm exhausted and fall asleep quickly with the alarm going off again before I know it.
My self-defense class is literally kicking my ass. I won't lie, when we had to do push-ups on our knuckles the non-girly way and I was struggling to even do one, the thought crossed my mind to immediately drop the class. I didn't need to take it, was just taking it because my friends wanted me to. Then, I got really mad at myself. For allowing myself to jump to quitting so easily when something was hard. So instead, while attempting to hold myself up (by 15 I had given up hope of actually going down), I made a goal to myself that by the end of the semester I will be able to do those 20 push-ups the correct way. I'm going to practice them at home so I can hopefully get better faster. It's crazy though, we did a lot of stretching, some push-ups, jumping jacks, crunches, then a few punches and a few blocks. Yet, after class my arms and butt hurt pretty bad. Then yesterday, it hurt whenever I laughed because my abs were sore. I really didn't feel like I got a workout but I guess I was wrong. This should be good though, strenghten the core. Oh yeah, our teacher's goal is to have everyone doing the splits by the end of class... ha!
A goal for me this semester is to be more social. I'm not completely anti-social, but I did pass up a lot of things last semester to spend nights to myself. I'm still going to do that just not as often. Case in point, this weekend. I'd love nothing more than a day to myself where I can be lazy, especially after this week. But, I'm going to go out and do stuff. I wish I had better three day plans. Can't believe it's only week one... hopefully this semester picks up pace. I know I'm going to be regretting saying that around week 9.
Well, off to attempt those push-ups again...
