Ugh.

Not that I struggle enough in my core strengthening class already, but today was one for the books. On a normal day I suffer though the horrific workouts for two reason: 1. to stop sucking at running and 2. to impress my teacher. Holy hell balls this man is sight for sore eyes (lets be real, any eyes for that matter). I literally do my plank while smiling, so it looks like I actually enjoy torturing my abdomen. Hell no, it hurts like a bitch but i smile because i want to look like I'm really in shape and so much fun to hangout with.
Alright, so I always pick heavy weights too (not because I can actually lift them, more so that it looks like i can. LOLZ). Well, half-way though today's work out I could just picture the weights smashing into my face, so I started to get up to get some lighter ones. As I was running out of the room Hot Teach Tom asked me where I was going. Attempting to be cute (yeah, because sweating balls and not being able to lift 20 lbs is cute) I chuckled and and said, "Oh just getting 8's!", then proceeded to trip over some weights as I exited the room. That was besides the point, but just goes to show how awful I am at walking. Anyway, so I come back into the room and the whole class including Hot Teach Tom is starring at me. Ok what? So I stand there and look at Tom and shrug and casually say, "i'm just not feeling the 10s today?" Then he looks at me and with a sigh of relief starts to crack up. K, like I'm obviously funny- but what did I do? He starts to write on the chalkboard and looks at me, "I thought you said..." and points at the board at to what he was writing which clearly says "AIDS". Wait Hot Teach Tom thought I said, "Oh just getting AIDS!!"? Holy shit. The whole class starts laughing and Tom continues to point at the other word on the board, "After I thought you said AIDS, i thought you said Eggs!". Ok really, all I said was 8's. So my clever reply to Hot Teach Tom, "Well, I don't want AIDS, but Eggs are always good for a little protein". I am so unbelievable bad at life.

damn.

Olympic Rings and Emotional Things: What is it about the Olympics that make us ugly cry over sports and athletes we've never heard of?

I'm sitting here on a Wednesday afternoon where, from my couch,  I am transfixed by the multicast view of the Olympics. A quadrant of screens take up the TV where a medal ceremony, men's basketball, skateboarding and a women's soccer game are all happening at the same time. Now, I've always been someone with a love of sports - and it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for me to watch multiple events at the same time, or maybe even grab a stealth peak of the ESPN app to check the score while at a wedding...but to have a quad screen up with multiple sports - even for me, that seems excessive. It got me thinking, what is it about the Olympics that continually captures my attention so fully I can not simply fathom picking ONE of these events to watch? The simple and most obvious answer is that it's fun to watch the world's best athletes compete against each other. You get the super teams, the living legends, the hometown heroes, the underdogs, the record holders - ...

Amster...dam(n), that was fun.

I have recently found myself double checking my memories- making sure things really happened, that I actually did the things I think I did, and saw the things I swear I saw, because with all this adventure going on in my life nothing seems real any more; like it's one big dream that I don't want to wake up from. It's a good thing I always carry my Nikon around with me to back up my illusive memories- for proof that my life is actually as exciting as my thoughts tend to illustrate. For the past two days, I found myself in Amsterdam . The best part is, I was able to explore the fascinating place with my friends who flew in from Rome, Florence and London. It was such a glorious feeling to have Katie in my arms, to chow down with Lindsay and Maria, and to do stupid things with Mallory and Heidi- all while being in a foreign (seriously, so foreign) land. Before I landed in the city of canals, I knew very little about it. I suppose research would have been a standard idea, bu...

Time to Change.

You know what's strange about society? We're so quick to point out the flaws of others, but avidly avoid publically admitting any flaws of our own. We post pictures and edit them with filters and angles and clothing designed to make us appear the way we want to be perceived...with the hopes that society won't notice what we're trying to hide underneath it all. But you know what I'm sick of? Hiding. Ever since I was a young chickadee, I've always felt the need to hide something. From my kindergarten crush laughing at me on the playground, or my 6th grade crush who told me I was fat and ugly, I've always been confident in my personality, just not so much in my appearance. I was constantly dressing like a boy, wearing oversized clothes, anything to detract attention to my figure or my body. By the time I hit 8th grade, all of a sudden I couldn't keep weight on. After years of being chubby and "unattractive", I didn't know what was happenin...
