MCAT Update

My score came in! I got a 27. Which is ok. It's not as good as I was hoping for, but hopefully it will be good enough to get me into med school. We'll see!

Hiking and working and exercising oh my!

Last Thursday, I hiked Y-Mt. with the Deans and (just to the Y) with my boss Justin and his wife Jackie. It was a lot of fun! We summited and made it back down in 5 1/2 hours! That's the fastest I've ever done it! And we spent probably an hour stopping for pictures and lunch. So go us! I also finally got a picture of the Y upside down! It's pretty awesome.

Apparently Stouffer's isn't hiring till next month, so I'm back working PRN as a CNA at Country View and I worked a PM yesterday. It was kind of fun to go back there actually. Kenzie and Monica were working and I like them both, so it was pretty nice. Kenzie told me about this website called bodyrock.tv that she's been using to exercise and it sounded pretty cool, so I checked it out last night. It's like a blog about exercising done by these two girls from the Czech Republic.

So this morning I used this new website to get myself a workout. Now I consider myself to be in decent shape, I hike mountains in my spare time right? Today I learned that this is not the case. I did the video for like 1/2 hour and it destroyed me! I did this one exercise that's supposed to use a sandbag as a weight, but I don't have a sandbag, so I threw some textbooks into my backpack and used that. It was awesome. It absolutely killed me.

Happy June!

Hey everybody. Last week we stopped by Wal-Mart for a powerade that I could take with me to the summit of Y-Mt. It was like 11:00 PM and there were only 3 checkout lanes open. There was a family at the lane to our left that had a 4 kids and a big mound of groceries (as you would expect for 4 kids) but the healthiest thing in the mound was a bag of bagels. They had freezer pizza, fruit snacks, sugar cereal, mountain dew, ice cream, you name the junk food it was on there, but no real food. It made me sad. I wanted to go over and put all the food back and get them healthy food that would have ended up costing less money and helping them live better lives. The dad was in one of the electric carts and he had a half gallon of mountain dew that he kept letting the youngest kid drink from. He couldn't have been older than 4 years old, and he was drinking mountain dew. At that age a soda like that has pretty similar effects to an adult snorting cocaine. And all this was just because the parents don't know any better. I decided that I want to start a charitable organization that will educate people on how to be healthy and save money in the process. So if anyone knows anything about starting up a charity, let me know.
