I am currently sitting in one of my ethics classes, not listening to the presentation by some woman from the library talk about Statistics Canada and how it relates to education. Although it is probably interesting to some, I could care less. Since I transfered to the U of A, I have become increasingly less interested in school and going to class. I have no idea why. Maybe it is the lack of personal attention because of the large class sizes or maybe it is because I am feeling the effects of being in post secondary school for six straight years or maybe it is because the U of A is a crappy school. I'm not sure but hey, they gave me a Macbook to use for this class because this presentation "requires" the class to all have laptops at out fingertips. Surely they must not actually believe that we are interested in the same boring presentation that we've heard five times this year. Geesh!
On the running front, its still going strong. I've decided that for lent, I'm not going to give up something but rather I'm going to give my time to exercise and eating healthy. I think I've always tried to eat healthy but in the last couple of weeks I've been really trying to eat healthy, meaning no processed food, no junk food, no sugary drinks. Only vegetables and fruit. Its been so hard! I went to dinner with my mom at a local restaurant. It was so hard to fine something that didn't have fries that accompanied it. I settled for rice and beans with my meal. I've also been eating less but more frequently. I think its been helping but boy has it made me in a bad mood sometimes. I feel sorry for my dear parents who get the brunt of my wrath. That's alss something I should be working on too...

Black Horse and The Cherry Tree
I've come to the conclusion that I hate running. I've been stepping up my gym routine and I've been going to the gym everyday this week. The older I'm getting the more and more I see the value in being healthy. The only thing that seems the make my cardio better is running though. I can bike for hours or go on the elliptical machine for hours but running is the best medicine. I resent going to the gym now. I hate every second of it. I think the only thing that gets me through working out is listening to my ipod. I feel like I'm destined to a life of running on a treadmill, never going anywhere. I hate running! Too bad its good for me.

Rumors
So there is the 25 Things list going around on Facebook. Here are mine. They could be true or they could be rumors.
1) I ALWAYS re-read texts, emails, notes etc. before sending them for fear that I will look stupid because of spelling mistakes or poor sentence structure.
2) I'm very proud of my Scandinavian heritage. So much so that I have considered not using my father's last name and instead, using my mother's last name so my name would be completely Norwegian.
3) I want to marry a man that is a musician, has tattoos, and loves Jesus. I don't know if this will ever happen but I hope it does. I mean, who could not love a guy that is kind of bad-ass and plays the guitar!
4) I really feel that music is inside my veins. I would rather lose a finger, (although I hope that never happens) than lose my voice because I've always thought that it was my best asset, musically.
5) Sometimes I hate going to live concerts because I can be too outwardly critical of those performing probably because I wish it were me on stage. (This leads into the next one...)
6) I want to be a folk-singing, funk and reggae influenced songstress but I have never found the opportunity, time, courage to do so. Maybe this is where my tattooed, Jesus-loving, musician husband will come in handy!
7) I love colour. There is no white wall in my house and I very rarely wear all black. I never realized this until a friend told me I have very colourful clothing a couple of years ago.
8) My favorite geometric shape in the circle. My favorite clothes have circles on them and my favorite earrings are circles. I love circles.
9) I want to have a least three children.
10) I want to get my nose pierced but I'm too scared to do it for fear my mother will disapprove. She thinks nose piercings are the grossest thing you can do to your body even though my brother has a tattoo and probably plans to get more.
11) I love cardigans.
12) I hate answering the phone and sometimes I just let it ring.
13) I've never filed taxes and I don't know how.
14) I have read all of Jane Austen's books, seen all of the movies, documentaries etc. I think she is a literary genius and that she was ahead of her time.
15) I like taking long drives in my car all alone.
16) Although I have a vast and varied collection of music, I will listen to the same artist for weeks on end in the car or on the bus until I get bored of them.
17) I don't like the dark.
18) I watch The Weather Channel every morning to see what the day is going to be like.
19) I like extra-aged, strong cheddar.
20) I'm want to get a tattoo someday.
21) I think my shy demeanor often influences what opportunities do and don't come my way.
22) I'm the biggest procrastinator I know.
23) I dislike tomatoes. Always have, always will.
24) I can't draw but I consider myself to be artistic. I'm only "good" at abstract art.
25) I'm obsessed with the show Stargate Atlantis even though I think science fiction in rubbish.
