Headed to Hazard today to look at some more houses. Wish us luck!

And I Just found out that the guy in Boston gave away our rooms to other people yesterday who could pay the deposit in person right then. So we're still on the search... probly just means a better place is waiting for us somewhere that we are meant to get ...right?

So, the ants are taking over my apartment. And there's this sound in my bathroom... sounds like a toilet running but it's on the other side of the room... and it doesn't go away. Doesn't sound good. But I'm starting to get used to it. I guess I need to talk to my landlord. Hmm.. maybe tomorrow.

I'm supposed to be at a CE today on drug addiction. But I woke up at 10... and it started at 8... and the event is over an hour away. It's an all day event, so I could get ready and go quickly and still make it to half of it. But I have a to do list waiting for me. And that's not on it. Oops.

An update on the 22-week workout plan... I designed it to be in great shape before Ashlee's wedding in June... and just to give me some daily motivation because I wouldn't have to decide what I'm going to do. Well, I'm looking at it now. I designed each week to have 5 workouts and 2 rest days, and each has a checkbox to mark when I complete it. Well, the first three weeks have checks in all of the boxes. Then it gets less and less and in the last three weeks, the only things marked are the "rest" boxes. Makes me sad to look at it.

Man, I sound really lazy right now. Better go get started on that to do list!

Today was my first day as a P3 pharmacy student at the Appalachian College of Pharmacy. I absolutely cannot believe how fast the time has gone by! I will try to keep more updates going as I start my adventures on rotation (coming soon!) and as I start getting fit for the Air Force. I finally found a list of the fitness requirements for my test at COT (commissioned officer training)... and I have, let's say, some room for improvement. But it's going to happen! (for example, right now I can do about 3 push-ups real-style... in a year, my goal is to be doing 45 in 1 minute).

Also... today I watched a great documentary on one family's radical take on sustainability. I remember hearing about them a couple years back, but watching their story was really awesome. Extreme, yes.. they eliminated everything that caused waste or required power and immersed themselves in the community around them, learning where their food came from and spending time with family and friends rather than in front of the TV. But it was a really cool way to wake people up and get their attention. His wife Michelle was not always on board (as a self-proclaimed high fructose corn syrup-addicted fast food junkie), but that just made the whole thing really entertaining (and toward the end, she got on board as well). Ultimately though, their goal was to spread awareness that we really don't need all of the things we use on a regular basis. And we CAN change.

I loved this quote from the film: "If only I change, it's not going to make a difference. But the hope is that if each of us as individuals change, it's going to inspire everybody to change. So I believe that the most radical political act there is is to be an optimist. The most radical political act there is is to believe that if I change, other people will follow suit." -Colin Beavan aka "No Impact Man". After watching this, I've been re-inspired. Since I moved over here, away from public transit and fresh food, I've lost touch to some extent with many of the things I used to focus my efforts on. Maybe it's just the busy schedule... maybe it's the area... but either way, I'm going to get back on track!
