Summer [school] and other updates

Well, I am all moved into my new place. It's definitely an upgrade from the dinky on-campus apartments, there's actually a kitchen that can fit more than one person! My stuff is still mostly scattered along the floor and the walls are mostly bare, but hopefully sooner rather than later I can get everything organized and looking snazzy. I have two other roommates, one is on the track team with me and the other girl is her best friend, so far so good! They are both super sweet and fun to hangout with. This should be an enjoyable and exciting year!
The weather has been beautiful and supposed to reach 90 tomorrow. That's hot!
. . Too bad I have 3 classes and half the amount of time to take them than a regular quarter, which means a ton of work. At least I get all of August off? I ended up with a 4.0 last quarter, first time in my life, my classes were really easy but I still want to work hard and be the best I can be!

Since I am an exercise science major I have been learning all about the benefits of exercise as well as the current statistics on obesity/overweight people in America, there's nothing like majoring in exercise to motivate me to get healthy. As I was walking home yesterday I saw a little boy riding his bike with his mom and sister trailing behind on foot, I glanced at his face and noticed he had the most complacent look, he was completely and utterly satisfied being on that bike. That radiance made me smile and I could feel the freedom and joy through something as simple as a bike ride. Things like that make me go on with life more appreciative, focusing on the simple luxuries in our day to day lives.
Speaking of bikes, I haven't owned one since I started driving, plus my hometown is nothing but hills which isn't very appealing. Anyway, I thought it might be cool if I had one here at school since everything is flat and riding a bike is not only a great workout but awesome!

I guess I could finish up my homework that's due tomorrow. Which is weird to say because it's summer, summer school is pretty much the pits. At least I'll hopefully graduate on time, right?
