"Joie de Vivre": No more teachers...no more books..... oh.. wait!

AND THIS YEARS' RACE IS............................

Well last year I completed my second sprint triathalon. It was quite the experience and I think it set the tone for me to do some kind of race every year from now on. As most of you who know me, know , that I am a huge goal setter and I love to work toward and achieve things all the time! Last year I trained for and completed a triathalon, not only that I beat my previous time!! YEA!

As tradition continues, this year 2010 I decided to run the Spanish Fork, UT 1/2 marathon on Sept 11th. Many of you wonder why Spanish Fork? I wish I had a good story for you, it's just close by and easy to get to and I think I prefer it that way!

So if you read this, I welcome any motivational thoughts, advice, encouragement and WHOOT, WHOOTS'! I am determined to finish and finish strong...... or at least cross the finish line before the sun goes down! :D

No more teachers...no more books..... oh.. wait!

So I finished my first semester back to school. It has been a most challenging experience. I remember the couple weeks... I think I cried at some point, everyday, and then I got into a routine and boom.. Finals done!

I never have thought of myself as school saavy. I think I barely graduated high school (I consider myself more of a creative, social spirit). So it has been interesting to see what subjects I excel in (pretty much anything requiring my opinion), and which ones I don't..dad don't read this part (math).

I have also learned that I am capable of a lot more than I thought and that even if I have to cry through this whole experience, in the end, it will be worth it.

In the beginning, when I wondered why any sane person would go back to finish school at 40, a thought came to my mind and I was reminded that any knowledge gained in this life, would bless my life in the eternities. So with that, let's hope someone in the afterlife will want me to explain polynomials.... ;)
