overwhelmed

So I am a little overwhelmed by this whole blog thing. There is so much I want to share and write. I feel like I need a focus to my blog like a theme or one thing that I write about. But, I don't think that will work for me so now I guess it will be an accumulation of random stories and thoughts.

Yesterday I got a chance to play volleyball. My friend from my high school volleyball team asked me to play with three other girls in a league at a park. It is so sad to say but I hadn't played volleyball seriously since my very last game senior year. Even more sad, I probably have only worked out a few times since then as well. My daily exercise consists of walking up the stairs to my apartment. I have played volleyball since I was 11 and it was always such a big part of my life. I loved being active and working really hard at something. I also liked being part of a team and always having something to keep me busy. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be to not play for this long, even though there are times that I have really missed it. But last night when I was playing, I realized how much I really do miss it and want to play again. It took me a little while to get warmed up but like my dad told me, its like riding a bike, you never really forget how. It didn't help that I was out of breath five minutes into the game. I also realized how much I enjoy being active and how much better it makes you feel than being lazy. So I have decided that I need to make a goal to get more exercise. My boyfriend always makes me feel very lazy because he is so motivated and runs and works out every day. But he has something to actually push him since he wants to be an officer in the marines. I have also decided that I am going to try out for the club volleyball team at UK next semester. I think it will be a good way to get some exercise and really enjoy something I love doing.

Thoughts of the day

I really should have studied more for this Statistics online final I have in an hour. This is the first pass/fail class I have ever had. I like it because I can totally slack off but it is so weird not having to worry about my grade, since I usually obsess over my grades. I am pretty sure I will pass the class though. Even though it sucks having class during the summer, I am so glad I did it because now I don't have to worry about it during the semester.

Lexie really is the best puppy ever. I took her to my volleyball game last night and tied her leash to a table. She just sat there in the shade enjoying being outside. She also LOVES kids which is a total plus. A bunch of kids at the park played with her and she did very well. She took a nap with me today and it made me remember why its so great having a pet. Also, she does so well in her crate! She doesn't have any accidents and doesn't bark. I still hate leaving her in there though.
