Today’s Totals - Apr 29th, 2009
(written yesterday, just forgot to post!)
So, on the concept of getting back into a routine - a daily post on the day that it applies! I got my mother from the airport this morning, had a swim in the afternoon, and really didn’t do much else. Oh, I did the shopping at Costco and kept quiet in the afternoon so my mother could catch up on her sleep.
Tomorrow will be a walk in the morning, followed by some yard work. Haven’t quite decided if it will be light stuff, or a couple of the tougher projects I have in mind. So, once Lost is over, I’m off to bed.
Food for the day:
Total: 1990 calories (22% fat, 30% protein, 44% carbs, 4% alcohol)
Breakfast: chocolate zucchini cake, orange (210) <– oh yeah, baked as well
AM Snack: soy nuts (200)
Lunch: beef barley mushroom soup, multi-grain sandwich thin, apple (528)
PM Snack: hummus, flatbread, white wine (296)
Dinner: pork tenderloin, bean/carrot blend, butter, salad w/dressing (449)
Evening Snack: protein shake, fruit salad (307)

Well, my grades are up today. I ended the semester with:
100 Engineering Drawing 2
89 Electricity Lecture
92 Electricity Lab
100 Problem Solving
93 Mech Int Algebra
96 Statistics 2
99 Creative Thinking
That gives me a GPA (as each are weighted slightly different) of 95.94
The funny thing is that the 100% in the drawing class could only have come from marking on a curve. I was sitting 45/50 going into the Solidworks portion of the course (which I know I did very well on), so the only way I could possibly have done that well is that everyone else did very poorly and he bumped grades.
(too tired today to do the happy dance, but quite pleased with myself)
way to go, what excellent grades. When you get the energy, do the happy dance. you deserve it. Glad you’re getting a NICE break from it all. Enjoy your summer!
I think there’s a tendency to want to do nothing after a period where you’ve done a lot of work. I noticed that back in February when we had our reading week. We’d had a lot of tests/projects the week before and it led to wanting to do nothing during that week off.
I am planning on enjoying the summer. Much as I’d like the money from a job, I’m not so sure that it’s going to happen. We’ll see how the next couple of weeks go.
Great job on the grades!!!
I’m feeling that way today. I’ve been getting alot of exercise last month and feeling like I’m always busy. Today was a good slow day and I’m going to bed early. I think my husband has some kind of plan up his sleeve about Mother’s Day. He let something slip about tomorrow and I let him know that Mother’s Day is next week, ya know, and he said yeah but he doesn’t have time for anything next week. Then I told him his mom doesn’t want anybody over this weekend. SO… between the two of them, something is up, somewhere. The thing I want most is a night away either just him and I or just me. SORRY but I’m a mom everyday, I just want a break.
I asked my mother if she wanted anything special for dinner and/or breakfast and she looked at me as if I were nuts.
