Obtainable Goals: Conquering the RSF & Food Finds & Forever21 order

I've decided to switch back or rather add some more easily obtainable goals.
One of which is to try every single Group-X exercise class offered by the RSF (the campus gym) at least once by the end of the semester or at the very least, this summer -- although I must say, the caveat might be the aqua classes given I don't have swimwear here and classes in Hearst Gym....

In the past, I have tried:
Bollywood -- quite fun but the steps can get complicated
Cardio Kickboxing -- whew, what a work out, I couldn't even make it through the whole session
Some yoga class but I can't remember which one -- it was so slow, I almost fell asleep

This semester, I have tried:
Nia -- quite fun, the instructor was super nice and it was a lot about grounding yourself and finding yourself
Toning Express -- quite intense and quick too, only 30 minutes!

This week alone, I have tried:
Power Yoga -- Not bad, not too rigorous either -- there was a focus on aligning your breath with your movements
Core Blast -- super intense, I couldn't make it through a session but man, what a sweat-dripping work out
Body Toning -- pretty neat and it was definitely a good work out -- not as intense as core blast but definitely a class I would attend again

In regards to food adventures... when you take chances, sometimes you hit a jackpot, sometimes, you don't.

Like today for instance, when I wanted a VitaminWater but couldn't find it so I decided to be adventurous and try this:
Sobe Lifewater in black and blue berry

Clearly, from my face, this is a no for me. This is single-handedly one of the most hideous drinks I have ever had in my life. Yes, I realize this refers to sight and no, I'm not critiquing the design, if anything, the design is quite quirky. It's just the taste is so disgusting that it affects more than just my sense of taste. Hence, it's hideous. I can't even look at it cause it's so gross.

The 0 calories should have scared me away... oh wells. The initial taste isn't bad, but the aftertaste is just horrible, like swallowing a bag of splenda. Some people may be okay with it, but I definitely am not.

Also, came back from the gym to a nice surprise -- my Forever21 order came in, yayyyy!
I would take a picture of my purchases but unfortunately, I haven't showered yet.

Off to a successful Friday, I go!!!!

Things They Don't Tell You at Graduation

With my first graduation commencement ceremony this Saturday, I'm starting to get quite worked up. All the details of tickets and parking and dinner and calls and... man. It's complicated business. In light of that, I've been reading a lot. Fell upon this article the other day and it was pretty interesting. It's a list of ten things you aren't told at graduation... a few of my favorites (with bold red font and red font self-added for emphasis): 2. Some of your worst days lie ahead. Graduation is a happy day. But my job is to tell you that if you are going to do anything worthwhile, you will face periods of grinding self-doubt and failure. Be prepared to work through them. I'll spare you my personal details, other than to say that one year after college graduation I had no job, less than $500 in assets, and I was living with an elderly retired couple. The only difference between when I graduated and today is that now no one can afford to retire. ...

Minor Update While Studying

As I'm currently in the middle of midterms (two midterm papers due in approx. 1.5 days), I don't really have an opportunity to sit and type, but just a minor update. Among my long list of things-to-do (which is still currently sitting in the draft section of my blog and is continually updated but yet to be posted), I've added the goal to be able to successfully sing(/rap...) one of Tablo's songs by the end of the semester. Epik High (the group of which Tablo is a rapper and leader of) was one of the first Korean artists that I was exposed to as a young 6th grader. It was love at first sound... I remember back in the days... Tablo is one of those completely talented, genius type folks that make me go "WOW". Anyways, I digress. He recently released his CD (pt 1, which I am buying asap along with part 2 probably) after a 2-year hiatus and it's just gorgeous. The meanings of the lyrics, the beat, the sounds... everything flows so beautifully. Especiall...
