I am so beyond tired of computing hundreds of chemical reactions, balancing equations, and interpreting graphs. Tomorrow is my third try on this ridiculous test. My brain feels like scrambled eggs, my eyes are sunken in. I am tired. Time for some easy music, green tea, and some star gazing. Not that I will have the ability to appreciate the stars as West Texas is covered in flames and my dark night sky is clouded with ash and dust. I suppose green tea and easy music will cure the weariness for awhile, then it is back to the books.
Six more weeks of school, R&R, and then I'm headed to Europe...oooh I CAN NOT WAIT!!! :)

Crossfit Junkie.
It never fails, as miserable, lonely and depressed as I might be, Cross fit always seems to bring an effervescent smile on my face.
I have always had a huge problem with confidence in my abilities to push heavy weight and perform accurate moves. I know the strength is there, the motivation is there, and the determination; but for some reason I seem to always lack the confidence. Today, conquered this confidence burden.
Every single time I have tried to master the Overhead Squat I have failed, miserably. Bruised toes, sore wrists, and a wobbly core all encompass my poor attempts at this functional move. Today, I conquered the move. In fact, I successfully completed 6 reps for five rounds along with some other moves in those vomit inducing WODS.
It was awesome. I was so giddy with delight and proud of my accomplishment. I never thought I would be able to conquer this move. My posture is piss poor, flexibility non-existent, add in a wobbly, dancing core and that has historically spelled a huge recipe for disaster.
Today, was a much needed happy, successful, fulfilling day. Today I tackled my confidence and prevailed with a perfect overhead squat. The most exciting part is I did five rounds of 6 reps each. I was the last person to complete the WOD today, but I don't care. The fact that I completed the workout with 100% accuracy is what is most important.
Today, thank god, was a great day.
