not Quite as planned

Work was fine but long. I did manage to get a start on my paper beast for a lecture class on Goethe and do some studying for my education class. I'm minoring in education, not because I want to teach (I don't, though respect those that do-my momma's a teacher!) but because I think it really focuses on how to relate or present information to people which is always a good skill to have.
I didn't quite make it to the gym because one of my contacts acting up today so I would be constantly prodding my eye (not great in a setting where a lot of people go in and out). Also, I'm still feeling a bit tired/achy/off and I'm trying to get into the habit of listening to my body. Unfortunately that means I'm dealing with feeling a bit lazy/guilty/still in a funk; however, I did a few sets of sit ups/crunches this morning after I posted to help me wake up and I think it helped overall too.50 standard crunches

50 on left side, then same on right side

25 standard

(not much, but I was pressed for time and needed to perk up-that helped more than caffeine!)

Plus... most importantly... I asserted my rights as a U.S. Citizen!

(Picture to be inserted lata ;) )

My dad is a Swedish immigrant and therefore unable to vote so he's always reinforced how much of a privilege it is that we have this opportunity.

So I can check off work, voting, and a bit of paper writing... on to a bit more before class; and prior to that I'll be able to check off 'blog checking' too!
