I took my last final for this semester today!  I am feeling so much pressure lifting off of my shoulders!  I have gotten more sleep this week than I have in the past few months, and I am even more tired than usual.  I just dont get it! 

Tonight was my leg night.  I did not get to the gym until 5, and that was my first mistake.  I usually work out at 4:30-5am, but thought to sleep in and go later.  Well the gym was packed.  The Smith machine was being used by an older guy doing shrugs, so I thought I would do leg press instead.  I set up the machine and did a set of presses then calves, then got up and did one legged squats.  I then put my towel on the back rest, so that someone would know I was using it, loaded more weight, and walked to get a drink.  I was gone 5 seconds when I saw two guys who looked like dumb and dumber throwing my towel across the gym.  I walked up to them and said I was not quite done and that they could work in, but they said too bad and grined at the other.   Nice fricken manners.  Another guy looked at me and then at them discustingly.  Now I know why I like the gym early in the morning.  Dumb and Dumber stay home in bed while the ones who have some manners work out at the gym.  I guess that is just a gripe.

Hope everyone has made today count!

Its Friday… and snowing!  I have a holiday party to go to tonight and I am taking a veggie tray… which I will probably hover around all night to stay away from all of the other tempting goodies everyone else is bringing.  Next week I have one final left… then it is off to Costa Rica for three weeks!  I am excited to be somewhere it is warm and beautiful for the hollidays… hopefully I will be more motiated on the beach to work out.  We have found the gyms we will be working out at, and the house in the mountains has some killer stairs I am planning on runnin up and down, hopefully the puppy wont cause problems… I hear he is not really trained and very big.  Hope everyone is doing well.

Finals are next week.  This has been a horrible semester, at least not normal for me.  I want to dive into my jar of peanut butter and try and drown my sorrows!!!  JK.  We are going to Costa Rica in three weeks and I have started dieting again because I dont want to go run on the beach looking like I do now.  It is always easier to stick to the diet when you have somewhere to be…!  I just cant wait until next Tuesday when finals are totally over!
