September...having a time.

Extremely unmotivated to write. 

Going to do it anyways because that is why I started a blog.

Wont be long though! Boom.

Agenda for the evening:

• School Update
• TV Update
• Earing Update
• Fitness Update

School Update

Where to begin! These past two weeks have be filled with a turmoil of emotion and questions and decisions and looking into the future. A lot to handle all at once.

I've managed to move past all that and am now kind of realizing how much I don't know and how little confidence I have in terms of teaching. I know I am passionate and I know I love working with teenagers, but its all that comes in between that I am unsure about.

After bringing this up to a few people, I can confidently say that I am not the only one who feels this way, and to be honest, I think anyone who says they know what they're doing are filled with B.S.

I am going to do my best to make this year all about learning opportunities and recognizing my resources and I am going to hope that my passion and the work I put forward is enough to keep me in the game until I figure myself out. Word.

TV Update

Mindy Project. OBSESSED!

So classy and sassy and witty and nitty and everything from A to Z!

Go, everyone please! Watch Mindy Project and fall in love.

Also, its on Netflix.
Also, she came out with a book that I plan to read ASAP!

NEW GIRL IS BACK ON TONIGHT ALSO!
Go watch that after you finish watching Mindy!

HABS ARE BACK ON IN 22 DAYS!
and they have 4 alternate captains this year which should make for an interesting season.
GO HABS GO!

Tay and I seeing Montreal Canadians in Buffalo!

Earing Update

In July I went to Burlington with one of my roommates Erin, and we got some piercings. I got my rook pierced and all was fine and dandy. (Rook is a crevasse in your ear for all that don't know)

As it healed it started to move forward which is apparently called piercing migration.

This migration led to the complete loss of my piercing! I went back to the piercer and he says that clearly my ear was rejecting it as it pushed it though about a centimeter of cartilage by itself.

I'm kind of impressed. Also really bummed out because I loved having my rook done!

Fitness Update

Drum roll please...

I'VE KEPT UP GOING TO THE GYM!
4 runs, various machines, and a BodyPump class under my belt here in Hamilton! If I can keep this up then I will be fit and fabulous (and most importantly healthy), in NO TIME!.

Alright folks, 
Thats all I have in me for today. 

Word to Big Bird,

Good vibes and achievements all around

Guess who went to the gym at 6:30 am today...

THIS GUY!

We went to one of the Women's Goodlife Fitness' in Hamilton this morning at 6:30 am! 
(Who knew I'd actually wake up to go) 

Special Thanks to my Beautiful roommates for waking up and kicking butt with me this morning ! Endless motivation coming from them.

As this was my first time back to the gym in a few weeks I was expecting a rough start, but I think I held my own pretty well!

Started off with a 3km run on the treadmill, a little slow, but I never stopped !

After this, I did some work on the Lat Pulldpwn Machine, then the Delt Fly Machine.

Followed by a plank pyramid to top off the workout!

I feel really accomplished finally getting back to the gym. I find it is always a lot easier to keep going once you've gone once and I really hope that I can keep this up. With the motivation and positive vibes around me I think I will be okay :) 

In addition to the gym, a few other radical things happened. 

First and Formost,

GOOD VIBES TO PAULINA WHO IS CURRENTLY WRITING A GIANT ACCOUNTING EXAM! Day 3 starts tomorrow and I think she's going to do AMAZIN'!

On that note, she sent me a funny joke today:

She's hilarious. ;) ahaha

On the same note as nice texts, a friend from school sent me a beautiful text out of the blue saying a plethora of nice things! It was so sweet and unexpected and I sometimes can't believe that there are people so thoughtful. It's refreshing and amazing and I am filled with gratitude  to have a friend like that at school with me <3

Last beautiful thing to happen, both my drama coordinator, and favorite drama prof emailed me and they both went on about how much they miss our Drama group and how it's different this year and they've all been thinking about it. Once again it is just so nice to know that people miss you and have such high thoughts about you.

Making a difference in the lives of people around me is all I hope to do in my life.

Keep on keepin' on friends,

Time for Kanye's Workout Plan!

...and the winner of the 'Person-Who-Continues-To-Procrastinate-Going-To-The-Gym' Award goes to.....

Yours truly .

Man! I don't know whats up with me lately! I used to be a gym go-hard, and now I just CANNOT seem to get back into it.

I know I want to.

I know I should.

I'm already signed up.

I have no excuse.

Okay great motivation Ash!!

Somehow I justified that if I write a blog about it then maybe I'll be more likely to go. Then I remembered I have a reading to do for tomorrow, and my roommates and I are going to watch RENT, and I have extremely low iron, and this excuse and that excuse.

NO MORE EXCUSES! BOOM! LIFE CHANGING MOMENT RIGHT HERE! LADIES AND GENTS YOU SEE IT HERE FIRST!

I, Ashley, will go to the gym, TOMORROW MORNING! Before the 10am class! Maybe I'll leave at 6:30 am, and get home for 8am, and shower and get ready and go to school feeling accomplished and great!

Why not today you may ask? Well like I said, RENT and readings... but that is why I'm motivated for tomorrow. This is for real. Enough people read this that I will feel like garbage having to write another post about how I didn't go.


There you have it folks.

Back on the road to fitness.
