Physics

I just had my first physics class. I can't tell if this class is going to be hard, fun, or both. I really like my teacher and she seems to really want to help us, but it's just a matter of wrapping my brain around all these concepts. Any ideas that might help? But anyway, she was a really fun teacher and she threw rubber duckies and tennis balls at us to demonstrate physics. I think it will be okay, it will just take some time.

September Goals

Alright, since it's the first day of school, it leads me to my set of September Goals! My big goal for September is School, mainly to bring up my GPA. So, without further delay here they are:

Do all of my homework
Get all of my homework in on time
Study a week before a test (not the night before or the hour before)
Attend every class unless I'm deathly ill
Get extra help if I need it
Don't get lazy

So I always set these goals and usually I get lazy with them, when it get closer to the middle of the semester. Hopefully, saying it out loud (or in writing) will make me more motivated to pursue these goals. I have a huge course load this semester with Physics, Creative Writing, Field Study I, Education in American Society, and Organic Chemistry. It will be hard and the work load will be tough but hopefully with these goals I will make it through with good grades.

Tat-ta for now!

P.S. My organic chem lab has already been cancelled today so I have no classes on the first day of school!!!

August in Review

Hey everyone!
So I'm here to review my August goals. In general, I feel I was very successful.
Spending one day a week with my younger sister worked out really well. We didn't choose a specific day to hang out but it would just be a random day at least once a week, where we would watch a show together or go out shopping.

I went on a road trip with my family down to West Virginia and Virginia which was fun. There was a lot of family bonding and I got to visit my uncle who moved down to Harper's Ferry last January. We also visited a few family friends.

I wrote a letter to my grandmother but I have yet to send it out, which is rather unfortunate, but I will hopefully get it out soon.

So I have not gone to spend a morning with my aunt yet but I do try to spend as much time as I can with my nephew.

I have yet to go running with my uncle, but I'm pretty sure it's because he's afraid to run with me because I'll beat him.
I have definitely hugged my parents more, they may not have noticed but I have.

I didn't get out to see my sister, I worked a lot of extra hours last month and my time would have been very limited. I;m trying to get out there to talk about a book we both read and watch the movie.

I'll be back tomorrow with September's goals.

Thanks for the support!

An update

Sorry I've been gone a while, I've had a lot going on and I'm getting ready to start my junior year in college. I wanted to give a few updates before I give my summary at the end of the month.

An update on my June goals:
Still running and running a 5k...FINALLY!!!
I'm doing yoga on Thursday nights (Super fun)
I'm still trying to eat healthy... I find I will go on a carb spree, but when I come back my will is even stronger to eat healthy.

An update on July goals:
I just bought textbooks which was a nice drain to my bank account
I did buy another set of athletic gear
I have been spending less money on unnecessary things
I got new sneakers but I got them for free. I got the five finger shoes and as crazy as they look, they are super comfy!!!!

And finally August:
I won't give too much away because that post is coming up soon. But I'll just say my August goals are working out nicely. Wow, I can't believe the end of the month is coming so soon.

Thanks for reading!!

Vacation

Hey everybody!

I got back from West Virginia/Virginia last night. I had such a great time! It's always nice to get away from the real world for a little bit. It was nice to see my uncle in West Virginia. We also caught up with some family friends which we haven't seen in a long time. Which means I can check that goal off my list. I will start fulfilling my other goals starting this week.

In past news, I did go running while I was on vacation as much as I didn't want to. I did get lost but it wasn't so hard to get back to where I needed to go.

Well, I'm off to fulfill goals.

Tat-ta for now!

August Goals

Hey everyone!

I've kept you waiting to hear my August goals. My main August goal is family. I have a very loving and crazy family and we all spend a lot of time together. But I think I could do more. It's hard to fit things into my crazy schedule. But here are my mini goals:

I live at home with my parents and one sister so I want to spend one day a week with her.

Also, my family is going to visit my uncle down in West Virginia for a week.

Write letters to my grandmother.

My aunt lives right around the corner from my house so why not spend one morning a week with her and my      nephew.

Maybe go running with my uncle once a week...maybe.

Hug my parents more.

And trying for one day a month to go visit my other sisters, they live further away.

So, these are my goals for August, I'll keep you updated!

July in Review

Hey everyone!

Sorry I'm late with this post. I told myself I couldn't go on the internet until I finished a book for my book blog.

Well in July, I really didn't complete or make any progress on any of my goals. Yeah, it's problematic, but hey, I'll work on it each month as the year goes on.

My June goals are still holding. I'm still running, although very sore. Right now, I'm dog-sitting, so I'm running with the dog everyday instead of doing my cardio and abs workout in between. That means by the end of next week I'll be doing a 5k. Wow, I'm so close I can almost feel it.

Tomorrow, I'll post about what my August goal is.

Go forth and be happy!
Mackenzie
