My apologies for blog-failing! It's been quite a busy week! I'm putting in my two week notice tomorrow at my job so that I can go back to school full time! I got a scholarship and was notified on Thursday that I am being offered a "GRA" (Graduate Research Assistant) position, although I won't be doing research...I'll be teaching General Chemistry labs!! I'm pumped! I really hope I'm a good TA. I had some TA's that I respected so much because they were so helpful. I can only hope to be half as helpful as they were! If I can make one student understand and appreciate chemistry, I'll be a happy camper!
Speaking of camping, we did some this weekend! Just a quick one-night backpacking trip, but it was fun! Also, I got bit by the "camping bug" so I've talked my mom into planning a family campout over Labor Day weekend! Sooo excited!
Other things we've been up to include....going to the Brave's game last weekend! That was my first Brave's game I've gone to since I was 7....I guess I'm not a very good native Atlantan...
I think we've decided to run another half-marathon (my fourth, B's first). So, to try to improve my running form and to help out with my CrossFit workouts, I invested in some New Balance Minimums! They're basically like running barefoot, just with a little protection from the elements/trail/road/etc. I am not sure if I will be using these for the half marathon, though, because I have a lot of training to do to get my muscles up to speed with the way these make you run. Normal running shoes allow you to land on your heel, these make you land on the ball of your foot....so it's basically like doing calf raises with every step!
And as usual, it's nearing the change of season, so I'm freakishly excited and readying myself for Fall! Football, pumpkins, Oktoberfest beers, brats, and beautiful fall sunshine....bring it on!!! (in case you can't read those candle labels, they say "Pumpkin Buttercream" and "Cranberry Chutney" mmmmmm!)
and yes, Buzz is missing his antennae...Klaus decided he didn't need them anymore.
Hope y'all are doing well!
