I also exercised yesterday night from 7 30 to 9 00. Now my brothers are probably thinking yeah "in front of the TV" but NO not at all. I went ping our name for our rec center and I worked my buns off. Meaning I did a bike for about 15 minutes..About 3.6 miles. Then I worked on my arms and the top of my upper leg(thighs). Then I went on the things called e-lip-tic-als which I was on for 30-35 minutes and worked my thighs, hamstring, and buttocks. I walked home the long way which means going up a hill. I was all red faced but felt good. I am pump to go again at the same time because it thins out about 8 but I will go at 7 to sign up for e-lip-tic-als (it usually takes an hour before you can get on anything). I am not saying I will be a skinny minnie but a healthier me and that is ten times better for me. Well my first real exercise at Ping. Usually I slack. I patted myself on the back. Well have to now really go and do homework. Bye.

Ok so I haven't written in awhile so I decided to. My valentine's day...It started out with my doing tons of homework and end at a great point. Though I was doing homework...I stopped to go to Parkersburg with shaun, Kim, Ben, and I. Now Parkersburg is in West Virginia and only 30 to 45 minutes away. We went to the mall for a short time to get a dress shirt for shaun for his frat thing. Then we made a short drive over to olive garden and waited there for about a good hour to hour and half, just chatting and getting to know things about each other. When we finally got to our table the waitress said two and two(meaning one receipts for Kim and shaun and one receipts for Ben and I) we said four. It took awhile for her to get the concept of four receipts. It was damn good food than the dining hall we have here. As we were returning it was fun to listen to music and get to chill with some friends. As Kim and I went up stairs to see a good friend of ours who has been sick for awhile. We sat in her room and played "Forest Gump" on DVD. I remember five minutes of the movie and I was out. I woke up to my friend saying to me if I wanted to go to bed. at that time it was about 2 so I headed to my room and crashed in my bed and feel right back to sleep. That was my lovely Saturday night.
Because I procrastinated and couldn't focus on Friday or Saturday, I had to focus on Sunday with tons of homework. So all I did was work work work on Sunday. All this week I will be doing the same thing I did on Sunday. I have health to do, English paper, study Psy., go to a Psy. experiment tomorrow, study CPR, type up Psy. notes, and hopefully I can catch up and go a little ahead of what is due so I am not stressed nor tired of working.
well have to go to class then hopefully then the bank, then walmart, and then homework, homework, and some more homework. Bye

I have had a long week last week to try and catch up with my homework assignments. Now this week is dedicated to starting early on assignment so I don't get behind. For example:

*I have a paper do Feb. 19th - starting to put it together today
*health due Thursday - did that yesterday
*health do Sunday and Thursday again - starting that tomorrow
*no longer have CPR on Wednesday - now I am studying the information so I can remember the different steps to get the certificate
*psychology I have a different teacher because my teacher has pneumonia - so I am trying to keep up with her and her teachings and readings.

So maybe instead of working this weekend, my friends and I can have movie night instead of homework night.

I talked to my brother yesterday, and also mention my blog about yelling at a cop for my self-defense class proximately 3 or 4 times. As we were talking, I came to realization with some help from him to write what I am thinking.
So this is what I am thinking:
Gay marriages....A controversial topic now coming to the fore front of today's society.
I am in favor of gay couples marriaging and getting the benefits of what opposite sex marriages receive. I don't see what is wrong with being a gay or getting marriage to the same sex partner. I read the post all the time and it informs me of the topics at hand. Right now there is a breaking news in Massachusetts about gay marriages. The court has ruled that gay couples can marry and receive benefits. I am reading along and also says the earliest marriage can be in the spring in May. Also they quoted a man saying "we're going to have to start looking for a band" and also put a down payment for a wedding after the opinion. It is a break through for the gay community.
Unfortunately, Ohio has now passed a law like other states saying that they will not have gay marriages legalized and won't recognized any gay marriages. Also I am mad at President Bush for saying that he will sign an a bill to make it unconstitutionalized for gay women and men to not be sanctified under God or whoever the believe in. What right does he have? He is placing his values on the American people which is suppose to be separate. For example church and state in schools works the same for me as president to country. I can't wait for November to come, and it won't come fast enough for me.
Now I might be getting myself in trouble by speaking my mind because my other brother(I have 2) has gotten in some discussions with family members. I am not a fighter but if I have to I will for what I believe in and know.
Well I have to continue my bad day and do some homework to get ahead and have a relaxing weekend of sleep and laziness. Bye y'all

I am taking a self-defense course at ping(the rec center). It is for no credits but I am learning a lot from it. So maybe I can beat my brother for once *wink* *wink* who knows. What was the most weird but exciting thing is that usually you are not allowed to cuss or use vulgar words towards a cop. But I did. WAIT before making judgments. His name is Brandon of the OUPD(Ohio university police department) and one of my teachers for the course. I ask him if it was ok to say cuss word at a attacker. He said that is fine to bring attention to yourself and also saying "NO" really loud. So when we were practicing a grab of the wrist. You are suppose to make a hammer movement. You hit right below the elbow(so upper forearm). So when it was mine turn out of the group. I was like "no, get the f*** off me." though it was weird to say that to a cop because I respect their profession he WAS the attacker. So I got attention to myself. I don't think I will do it again because I feel it is disrespectful to anyone. Though if I am attacked for any reason I will put up a good fight and I WILL get attention to me.
If anyone is unsure about taking a defense class, take it, it is good exercise, protection for yourself, and you will feel like you have power against any attacker.
