Excuses, Excuses...


            My apologies for the recent hiatus; in the past week I’ve driven from Boston to Miami with a brief stint in Asheville, NC, moved into my new room, and had the first classes of my senior year at UM. As you can imagine, I haven’t had much free time… story of my life.
            I’m majoring in civil engineering, but residential renovations are what I’m really interested in, that and sustainable building techniques. I’ve been playing the guitar for the past two years and I’m looking forward to getting inspired by my Evolution of Jazz class this semester. I’ve taken three semester of glass blowing and that was, by far, the best class I could have elected to take, even though it got me no closer to my degree. Glassblowing was both fascinating and challenging… kind of like cheerleading, which I also did for two and a half years at UM. Now, most of my time is occupied by Molly, my seven month old jack-a-poo that I’ve had since she was a month old.  I’ll continue to introduce more tidbits but I figured this would give me time to work next post. Teaser – it’s my theory of why nature purposefully increases the rate of homosexuality.
            Anyway, stay tuned. And if you have any comments or questions about my activities and personal life, feel free to ask, but let’s keep it mature and intellectual. Not saying I’m going to answer them all either, but I like to think of myself as an open book.

  1. I was wondering if, respectfully, do you personal train people who are serious about getting in shape? CPTs have changed so many lives in the 21st century, the show "The Biggest Loser" is a good example. Your dog Molly is so cute in the photo, congrats on you majoring in civil enginnering, too!

  2. I'm awful at motivating myself to go to the gym, so I probably wouldn't be very good at it. That's why I love team sports, like cheerleading or wrestling, which got me to enjoy my workouts through the social facilitation. I forget that I'm even working out. Where as, when I'm just staring at myself in the mirror doing curls... I have very little patients when it comes to that. But I do push ups and sit-up at home and I love tumbling and jumping on the trampoline in my back yard, so maybe I could be a personal trainer with those kind of activities. Never thought about it though.
