“Sex, Marriage, & Fairytales” - Spoken word on marriage from a Christian perspective

Yeah, that’s right! You only drink water and eat ice!

Motivating diet quote of the day (via 3llwhy)

When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer

When I heard the learn’d astronomer;
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;
When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

- Walt Whitman

One of the poems that we went over today in my Modern Poetry class. Today’s lecture was about Transcendentalism and Walt Whitman, since he one of the first poets the beginning of what is considered “Modern Poetry.” Read it out loud and read slowly. It’s amazing how much a poet can say with eight simple lines. :]

I realize that I had stopped posting “one good thing”s on my blog and have been finding myself getting frustrated and/or a little less than happy about certain things. To turn this around, I think I’ll start posting more consistently again and find the good in every day. I missed about two and half weeks of doing this, so I will just do a big recap at the end of the month. :]

So today’s good thing: having a workout buddy and starting Insanity. I finally started working out last Friday and will try to do it more consistently. Having the new gym built helps a little. It’s super nice inside! Gotta use it before I graduate. Today, we did Insanity at home since it fit our schedule better. Fit test was definitely tough but I did what I could.. I know I’ll definitely have to push myself harder soon. We decided we won’t be following the schedule for Insanity, but we’ll be working out every week day (unless our schedules don’t allow it) with either going to the gym or taking an exercise class. They’re also free now!

I’m really glad to be finally getting in shape! Hopefully I’ll be able to adopt this lifestyle and not let myself get lazy again.

Studygasm won an honorable mention for branding at Startup Weekend SLO! So glad I decided to sign up for it. It’s definitely been really awesome.

Some of the valuable things that I’m taking away from this weekend:

It CAN be done! It’s great to have ideas but you won’t go anywhere if you don’t take the initiative.
Group dynamics definitely play a big part in your success. I was lucky enough to be in a great group, nicely divided and played on our strengths.
Keeping a positive attitude goes a long way too. I went into this weekend not knowing what to expect and started to get scared when I felt like I couldn’t contribute to the group. But I just kept thinking that I’ll just do this for fun, why not? We ended up with a pretty good product by the end of the weekend!

Keep checking! We’re planning on continuing to work on it part time. :D

My weekend workspace!

Startup Weekend is almost over and I’m almost sad to see it go by. It’ll have been a crazy 54 hours but a really worthwhile experience. It’s been a blast! :]
