30 Rock and the Gym

New TV show that I have been watching with Netflix. I didn't think I was going to enjoy it. I must admit, I do not like it as much as The Office, but it has a certain something about it that makes it funny. Lots of guest starts, Tina Fey is hilarious and actually not too bad looking. I am almost done watching the seasons as there are only 2 available at the moment. Least when The Office and 30Rock are done I got something to watch when they are released.

I got a trainer 2 weeks ago at the gym. I figured since I plateaued with weight loss at the moment and I am kind of bored with my workout routine; I would get a trainer. A get 1 trainer session per month with my membership. First time I saw him, he was very cold and personally not friendly in the least. Then I think, I really don't want to be this man's friend. I want to be a client he tortures to the point where I want to quit going to the gym. The irony is I am not going to quit. I want him to push me till I am blue in the face, or red for that matter. He did just that on Tuesday. I thought the first routine he gave me was challenging. This new routine actually made me so red in the face and out of it I needed to take a break in between the session. I am still kind of sore from all that exercise. I must say though, I feel great about it. I have to do this routine every other day and it is very vigorous. I honestly do not know if I am going to be able to finish the routine tomorrow, but I am going to try my best to finish it. I hope in the next few months there is a huge impact where I can see the results. I know I will as long as I keep my attitude positive and keep with the trainer.

Well, that's shit for now. My next blog will most likely be on relationships and being 30+ looking for that someone. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be. Even after all the improving there are still some internal things I need to improve on first. I will explain more later. I got a lot to do the next few days with school and work. Peace.

First day of college

I must say. It was a weird experience. I went to my first class which is Intermediate Algebra. Did fine there then had an hour and twenty minute break where I did all my Algebra homework already. Then I had my C++ course which I enjoy greatly. I don't know what it is about programming that I really enjoy. If I can I want to take more programming classes in the upcoming semesters. After that I have another hour and twenty minute break. I spent it in this cafe type area in the Madison building which is like the main building at CCC. Felt so weird I guess being 30 years old and feeling a tad out of place. No one to talk to really when most people are in there late teens or early twenties. My last two classes are psychology and English Composition. I must curse, FUCKING BORING!!! My English teacher makes watching paint dry kind of exciting. Listening to my William Shatner sound alike psychology teacher makes me hope Spock or someone will come in to beam him up out of there.

Sorry for the wall-o-text, but I think it's all related in the paragraph above. I have an essay to write already and 2 psychology chapters to read by Monday. Sounds like fun all while going to work for most of my day. I know, I'll stop bitching. Glad to have something to look forward to in a few years.

My math review for college

Of course I friggin passed. I got 2 wrong which is kind of crappy because I wanted to get them all. I have to go back to the one I know I definitely got wrong and see what I did. I start school 1/21/09. Should be exciting stuff. Now I have work from 11am till 8pm then the gym till 10pm. Jeez, I need to get out on Saturday.

The change and other random nonsense

I actually started school already. Well, sort of, I haven't been in school for over 8 years. I took a placement test and did great on all but Algebra. I got a 70, which apparently wasn't good enough. I have a week review of Algebra which is super easy since after being shown I am shocked I forgot all the formulas and all. I officially start 1/21/09. I almost have all my books. I am just starting my journey towards an Associate's Degree in Mathematics and a Bachelor's Degree in Education. Should be fun, I think .

I ended up getting a trainer at the gym. Completely changed my workout. I do full body workouts every time I go compared certain body parts everyday. I also was not giving my body enough time to heal, so every other day I lift, the other I do cardio in the form of cross trainer, treadmill or swimming. I see the trainer again on 1/20 to adjust my workout and bring more strength to my weak areas. I am excited. I can already see my chest getting stronger just by doing what he said. I am off balance which is another thing I am working on. The ab workout I am doing hurts like crap. I am scared to find out what he plans on adjusting for that one.

I am sad I just finished watching all 4 seasons of The Office available on Netflix. I absolutely loved it. I am trying to find a place I can watch the first 6 episodes of this season as 7-11 are easy to get. I found a site that had almost all of it but he last 15 mins which really sucks. I guess I will have to wait.

I am on my way from superworker to supervisor. Well, that's what the class is called anyway. I am getting a lot done and just got more stuff to do for work. I am beyond excited and not. I want to get it and another part of me doesn't. I am good at my job. I know I am, I get told, lots of good feedback form people I help that email the company about me which is a good feeling. Things at my job are good. Some times frustrating, but glad to have a job I am good at. I hope to get the supervisor job. If it doesn't happen, honestly, no biggie.

Almost everything seems to be cooking for me finally. Took a huge fire, but my ass is moving. I am only missing one more thing............
