Workout time for Diana

Going to school is a full time workout. Not just for the mind but also for the body. Here's why.
I drove to school, because I finally got my temporary license from the DMV, and I parked in the "secret parking" because it's easier than trying to fight traffic looking for a parking spot in the parking structure. I mean, come on, everyone already knows that there isn't going to be a parking spot. Or they're just really rude people who wait for someone who is walking to their car. That's way I will most likely always park in the "secret parking". Only problem is it's a bit of a walk to the school. It would be just fine if I wasn't lugging around a 50 pound bag full of books (well maybe it's not 50 pounds).
I was a bit early for my class so I went to the Library to study a bit of my math that I wasn't able to finish the night before (and take a break from carrying my monster bag). I was huffing and puffing so badly when I got to the Library that I was trying not to breath because I was so loud. I bet people were thinking I was having a heart attack or maybe that I was going to throw up or something; or maybe they just thought "man that girl is way out of shape".
I studied a bit. When it became a decent time to go to class I left (I was finally done huffing and puffing). I walked to my classroom but there was a class in progress so I just sat in the hallway and waited. Finally the people were done so they came out and we (because there were other students in the hallway with me) went in.
Now this is where the workout begins, English class. I actually have to use my brain. Whoever thought of such a thing?! Using my brain has never occurred to me before! (joking). It's definitely a workout! There was a vocab quiz and then group work. I think I did alright on the vocab quiz. The group work was to discuss a certain part of the book that we are in the process of reading. That was interesting.
Class ends around 11:45, 12:00. Lunch time. I had brought my own lunch so I just found a spot to sit and eat. I bet people thought I was weird. There I was eating a homemade sandwich in a way that probably made me look like a little kid, and then, after the sandwich, I had some gummies. Now I definitely looked like a little kid. Who cares. I like gummies. I am a child at heart.
When I finished lunch I walked to my next class (thankfully the building is kind of close). The math stuff that we did in the beginning was the easy stuff. I thought "this is easy peasy" but then it got to the harder stuff. It wasn't so "easy peasy" anymore. I had to start using my brain again.
When math was over that's when I had to walk all the way back to my car. I started huffing and puffing (and blowing houses down). I think by the end of the semester I will be in great shape. Who needs a gym when you've got college!
I had to go to work after I got home (I hate work). I had yet more walking to do. Now it's over and I can't wait to go to sleep! Have a good night everyone! I'll blog again soon.

  1. Ah man, I remember that about the secret spot. And your story about the sandwich reminds me of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

  2. Once again, you succeeded in getting me to laugh at least once while reading your most recent post.

    Yes, I also remember that about the secret parking spot...I'm surprised that after all these years it's still secret!! I went to FCC (then FJC) 7-8 years ago!

    I used to bring lunch too. I think I recall many PB&J sandwiches...

    That's funny:) I love that movie:)

    Rebekah:
    Well I'm glad that you enjoy it:) Hopefully I can keep you laughing with each new post I put up:)

    It's actually not so secret anymore. The first day I went to class it was almost completely full. I was only able to get a parking spot because my car is so small.

    Mine was a turkey sandwich:)
