So because my size 8 pants were looking really baggy, mom & I went to the store today & I fit into a size 6! I never ever imagined I’d be this small. After going to the gym tonight & looking in the mirror after my swim I finally saw that I have shrunk. It’s a nice feeling to be able to see it & not just know it. So yay for me!
The other day a very interesting point was brought up to me that I hadn’t previously ever thought about. Sports at community colleges. Now that I think about it, of course a community college would have sports. But I went to a state college, & the few friends I have who transfered from community to state were not the sporting types. & since I’m really not that into sports… at all, I just never thought about it. A friend of mine is the assistant coach & strength training trainer of a volley ball team. I mentioned to him that maybe one day i’d make up to where he lives & maybe catch a game while visiting with friends, but the team has a game about 25 minutes away from where I live, so he invited me to attend the game. I’ve never actually been to a college game (save a few rugby games, but we kind of sat around & didn’t pay much attention- the girls were brutal to watch- never say girls can’t take a hit. Those girls could have clobbered any man.) & I only went to maybe 2 football games… though I’m actually thinking it was just one- so this should be fun.
I enjoy looking at dresses online, but am sadly much too broke to buy anything… not to mention most of the dresses you see are WAY too expensive. The other day I saw a dress & thought I could totally make that! So I did. & it didn’t turn out too poorly either. Sure, some of my seams are crooked, & the back is a little messy at the zipper, but it could have turned out worse- seeing as how the last thing I sewed was over 2 years ago… That, & the fact that I was taught how to sew on one skirt & haven’t had a lesson since, I think I did pretty good. I had bought the fabric several years back, thinking it would make a nice dress. I just didn’t have a pattern that it would look good as, so I just held onto it. The dress I ended up making is a mesh of 2 patterns. All I had to do was buy a zipper & some ribbon. Nice & cheap.
My physical therapy appointment has finally been set. The pressure points KC showed me were amazing, but anything else the Dr can show me would be great.
The CBEST is at the end of this week, & I’m feeling pretty positive about it. The practice test that the CBEST web site has up was unbelievably easy, & the essay examples they provided (examples of what will get you a 4 out of 4, a 3 out of 4, a 2 out of 4 & a 1 out of 4) were kinda unimpressive. As a history major, I did a lot of writing over the many years of college, & I can write whoever wrote the 4 out of 4 essay under the table… not to be prideful or anything… but when you have to write as much as I did, your analysis, argument & persuasion skills tend to improve. So I’m feeling pretty confident about that.
Okay, now that I’ve blown my own horn, I think I’m done for the night. All that sewing has made me rather sore… I didn’t have any table top space to cut the fabric for the dress, so I cut it on the floor, & all that kneeling & moving on the ground made me hurt. So it’s time to lay down.
Sincerely, though slightly achy,
Kim
