So I went to my first yoga class ever earlier this evening and loved it! I loved it so much that I came right back to my dorm and signed up for a class that will take place once a week at the Rec. I'm so excited to take it, and I have two girls from my floor to thank! They were kind enough to invite me to go with them to a free class. I accepted their invite because I have wanted to take classes at the Rec since I've been at WSU. But, no one has ever wanted to go with me, and I certainly didn't want to go alone since some of the classes are at night.
So just like that I fell in love with yoga tonight. No I wasn't perfect at it, but I've learned that I don't have to be perfect at everything and that it's great to give new things a try! I just felt so good during the class and feel really relaxed right now. Yoga has been suggested to me by people who know I am uptight and always worrying, and now I know why. It's relaxing and makes you feel really good!

And Another Semester Begins
In the morning, I will be starting my fourth semester at WSU. WOW, how time flies! I'm so excited for all the new coming my way. I'll be taking three classes that each have a lab, which means I'll be taking 12 credits while working. It'll be tough, but I'm ready. I'm going to learn lots and lots of new information that I will be able to take with me and apply to whatever I decide to be when I grow up. I'm also super excited to continue working. I'm looking forward to working with and meeting more great people. It'll be fun!
BUT, the thing I'm most excited about is making more friends. I have a great best friend here at school, but she and I are always looking for other friends to hang out with us. After the dinner we had tonight, we are positive we have a new friend. Actually, she is a kind girl that is a friend of my sister's from back home but she goes to school here at WSU. After my sister bugging me to text her and now that I've really met her, I'd say I have a another friend! We are going to have a good time spending more time together.
So tomorrow I'll get up and workout quick. Then I'll start the craziness off with horticulture 202 at nine. Between horticulture and organic chemistry at one, I'll work a couple hours. That will be my schedule on Mondays and Wednesdays except I'll also have a lab Wednesday evenings. I'll start my Tuesdays early because I'm working the opening shift at work. Once I'm done with work, I'll hustle over to lab. Then I'll have an hour break before Statistics 212. Thursday will be similar to Tuesday because I have a lab and STATS class again. Friday will be great because I'll only have two classes, and after two in the afternoon my weekend will start. This will be my life for the next 16 weeks and in my free time I'll hang out with friends or make a quick trip home. So with new classes, a fun job, and more friends, I have a lot to be excited about and to look forward to! Let spring semester 2011 begin!

Love and or Dislike?
I love breaks from school but I also dislike them.
It all is because of my mother whom I love very much and am thankful for. The last two years she has sent me an early Christmas present at school. Both these gifts have been wonderful cookbooks because she knows I enjoy cooking and baking very much. I've gotten these cookbooks the weekend before finals week. She does this so that in my "free" time I have something new to read. Like there is "free" time during finals?! Not!! Haha! Well, I make time anyhow, and come up with a huge list of things to make while home on break.
Making these things is where the love and dislike truly begins. I love making these new recipes and I love eating all the yummy things. I dislike the weight that comes with eating everything I make and having to lose it again. It's the same story every break. I come home and I cook, cook, eat, eat, gain, gain, and have to lose, lose. Every time.
While home this last time I made several things (some more than once) from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook, 15th edition. This cookbook is great and my favorite! I made Star Mint Meringues, Yummy No-Bake Bars, Cream Cheese Mints, Cinnamon Rolls, Powdered Sugar Icing, Noodle Casserole, Chicken Enchiladas, and Coffee Coolers. My mom also used some recipes from it. Everything was sooooooo good! The family favorites were the cinnamon rolls and no-bake bars.
Overall, I love breaks from school more than I dislike the extra that adds on over break!
