Last Day Of Year 27

Today is my last day of being 27. Holy crap. I am climbing in age rather quickly. It seems like just yesterday I was turning 21 and I was so excited and now I am creeping in on my 30s. Life really go by in the blink of an eye. Well year 27 was a good year. Not great but some good things happened and some not so amazing things happened(mostly in the last week).

School is moving slowly and I am starting to submit transfer applications. Its such a surreal feeling. I remember starting out on this journey 10 long years ago. I know some people are way done with school by now but you know what I did it at my own pace and doing what I want to do and it's all paying out in the end.

Chris and I had our normal ups and downs, but what is new. Every relationship does. We just recently hit our 4 year anniversary. Yeah I know I have in the back of my mind of my 4 year max. I never seem to stay in a relationship longer than 4 years. I get bored. And yes things with Chris feeling 'settled' but maybe thats a good thing. I don't know what the next year hold for us but only time will tell.

My health is good. It didn't start out that well but it got better. Got the Flu really bad last summer and ended up being hospitalized for it. Not for very long but still. I hate being that sick. I don't normally get sick so when it hits, it hits hard.

My workout routine has stuck somewhat. I've lost some inches around my waist but I have cut way back on how many days I was working out because I was back in school for 7 weeks, 4 hours a day, 4 days a week. It was hard to keep up with working out and all the homework that was given. But the semester is over and I am waiting for my grade. Back to school next week for my last semester at JC. It's only 2 days a week though. So I will be ok.

Now for the bad...

Every one knows how close I am to the Millican family. Clay, NHRA drag racer, and his family is such an group of people. Last Wednesday night Dalton, Clay and Donna's youngest son, was killing in a single-person motorcycle accident. It was a shock and it hit really really close to home. With my dad and his motorcycle accident, it was just a rough day for me. I'm not gonna lie, I broke down and cried that morning. I just couldn't hold it in. Right now as I write this I am tearing up. I ask myself why? Why would you take someone who had such a bright future? Someone so young? 22? It just hurts and I cant imagine how Clay and Donna, and Cale feeling. Its so hard and we can't be there for them. He was laid to rest yesterday and from what I saw it was beautiful. So many people came out to show their love for D-Milli. And that ride... it gave me chills to watch. Fly High Dalton.... watch over your dad on the track. Maybe pull a few strings and bring home that first Wally.

All and all 27 wasn't such a rough year. I'm curious at what 28 will bring.

Summer Update

So as I have 8 classes left for the Summer semester I thought I would do a bit of a summer update.

Math class is actually going good. After 5 weeks I am still sitting at a Solid B. I'm proud of me. If you've known me for any length of time you would know that Math and I do not get along what so ever. We are not friends at all. But I'm still passing. So go me!

#2yearswithoutcory

730 days.... it doesn't feel that long. It seems like only yesterday I was sitting in a parking lot after a baseball game and the first tweets were coming in that we had lost Cory. I couldn't wrap my mind around. I was speechless for about 5 minutes before I ran through the parking lot to Chris who was walking back from the bathroom to tell him the news.

730 days.... and sometimes it still doesn't seem real. Some days iTunes just feels like it's a day to remember you. From "Jessie's Girl" to Lea's beautiful redition of "Make You Feel My Love". You are still every where and I am ok with that.

I love being reminded of your smile, your energy, and your look on life. Your demon won, but it will never define you.

We miss you!!!

Workout Progress

Of course in true Jessica fashion I couldn't stick to going to the gym. I just got tired of driving all the way there and all the way home. So I decided to try out a personal trainer online from a girl I watch on youtube. Her name is Lucy Wyndham. She is ex-British Army and does most of her online videos about workout she learned in the Army. I decided to give one of her 100 rep challenges a try. I got in contact with her through twitter and asked if we could customize our own 100 rep challenge from all the ones she has done, kind of like a pick and choose. She said of course, thats why she has posted so many. Even from 6000 miles away she is supportive. I told her I had a hard time staying motivated and she said she is there for me every step of the way. She even sent me a few positive messages to keep me going. So anyways... I thought I would do one today. It looked easy. I got into it but it got really really hard to keep going to 100 but I did it. I never gave up. But let me tell you... that shit isn't easy at all. Holy Shit. I sweated more in the less than 10 minute rep workout then I do for 2 hours at the gym. So totally worth it. I truly hope I can stick with it. I really do.

Now it's time to go and drink a crap ton of water. 

Grades Are In

Even though I didn't really try that hard this semester to get straight A's, I still managed to pass all of my classes. The only class I worked my off in is Math class. I ended up coming out with a C in that class. Toward the end of the class it got really hard for me and I struggled a lot. I hope that isn't a sign of what my intense 7 week summer class is going to be like. I'm stressing out already and I don't start that class for another month and a half. My History class is another issue in itself. This teacher is a down right dumb bitch who doesn't know what the fuck she is talking about. I pulled a C out of my ass on that one. I'm not the only one. I talked to most of the other people in that class through email and most of them actually failed. I feel like my C is actually an A. Fuck her!

A Bit Of A Downer Morning

I had a rough morning with the weight loss journey. I have been doing a lot of at home workouts over the last few weeks. I took my measurements because it is the first of the month and I lost inches around my arms, my thighs are the same, but I gain 3 inches around my waist. I am so angry with myself. I guess I'm not working hard enough on abs. Gah. I'm just so pissed at myself.

This Chick... Pure Comedy

Omg! This Chick on twitter is hilarious. We got into a spat over the shit in Baltimore. Her responses are hilarious. You can't see mine because I took a screen shot of my notifications. But I'm sure you can figure out what was said on my parts. Spent Thursday morning putting a 15 back where she belongs. In school to learn something about the world.
