so let's see...things have been happening...but nothing too insane on my end of things...just plugging along moving towards my goals little by little...
school, just finished the first full week...classes seem to be good so far...food service systems management is funny...only because we are learning what i used to do as a job...there are formal terms for things...but generally it makes me laugh to read all about planning menus and food cost analysis...thanks sharron and firefly for preparing me for this class...the lab for it is large scale food production...and some working in the school food service system...sweet!
community nutrition seems cool too...we are going out into the world of austin to volunteer and learn about food insecurity in the area...i volunteered at the east side community connection the other day...a good experience and a learning experience...and if i want to work in community nutrition ever i NEED to learn spanish...at least i know how to say peanut butter :)
biochem...my feeling for that class is still up in the air...the stuff we are learning i have learned in other classes...maybe not as in depth...but nothing is totally brand new so far...and it seems more conceptual than actual formula based calculations...that i am much better at...
my application for the coordinated program in dietetics is in...and i will be hearing in the next three weeks if i have been selected for an interview/need to get three letters of recommendation and move on to the next step in the selection process...it would be great if that happened...
training is going really well...and i am hoping to keep it that way...just before school started i had a bit of a shin issue...almost exactly what happened when i trained for austin with coach amy @ rogue (hi amy!!!) so i knew to stick to running the trail...writing the alphabet with my toes, icing, rolling, stretching...and massage...and well....it seems to have worked...i have felt nothing this week at all...makes me happy...ran 18 last sunday and doing 20 tomorrow...i think i will feel more prepared after running 20 tomorrow...i am hoping very much that it is a successful run...i need the confidence...since the last 20 miler i did was a long time ago... but i am generally faster than i was (even before vineman) and i am more focused and REALLY want to achieve my goal...not like i have never wanted to achieve any goal i have ever set for my self...i am really hungry for this one...like i was hungry for IMAZ...
what else...lots...but nothing...and that makes me happy...missing the fam...but gearing up to see them in october...at least a partial fam...thinking about finally having a little vacation between semesters...we will see...but for now...wish me luck on my run tomorrow...
