I mean if you're looking for the Backstreet Boys, you've come to the wrong place. It's just me!
So remember how back in May I was talkin' bout how happy I was here in Illinois minus missing my friends, family and hometown? well, I'm coming back to Asheville for more than a visit, I'm coming home, I'm coming home, tell the world I'm coming home (I am really in to song lyrics tonight, if you couldn't tell.) As much as I will miss my friends here there really is no place like home. I'll be home mid-September and I was going to start school this fall but chickened out. I'm interested in a degree in social work but the program at ETSU (East Tennessee State) is super competitive and my transcript is rather...well, I guess a good word for it is embarrassing. The only 2 classes I have A's in are literature based research, and get this "success and study skills." LOL. But I didn't want to start classes and then end up quitting (per my usual) halfway through the semester. So I'll start in January and hope for the best.
I was reading through some of my older blogs and can I just say that Jesus and his teen mom Mary, I was incredibly mean to myself. Nothing I ever did was good enough and if I wasn't calling myself a cow, I was complaining about push ups. Which, nothing changing in that area, they're still the worst. I've been doing cardio twice a week for like 20 minutes and then laying in the floor of the gym until I stop wheezing. I use the corporate gym where I work and it's fancy AF. There's usually never anyone in the entire gym when I use it, which is why I can wheeze in the floor without someone calling 911. I mean, is twice a week really enough? probably not, but it's better than 0 times a week. Next thing to get the boot is the Mountain Dew habit. I act like I'm basically snorting cocaine but sugar is super addictive, FYI ya'll. And speaking of ya'll I'll be glad when I get home and people stop asking me where I'm from constantly. I mean, ain't nothin' in the whole wide world like a southern girl but people here act surprised when they realize I'm smart AF (at work smart, not real life smart).
I mean, there really wasn't a point to this blog other than to remind everyone at home that you're not off the hook, I will be back. I'm hoping that once I get back to Asheville and settled I can start going to Gold's gym and doing Zumba again, which was my jam. I also liked the 30 minute spin class I did on Sundays. What's weird is gyms around here don't really have classes, but I'm rambling. So with that, I'm going to make like a baby and head out aka lay on my couch and watch netflix. TGIF, ya'll.
