April Update

March is officially over, and like, I don't even know what happened to it.

MARCH WAS THE BEST MONTH EVER! I only had two weeks of school, granted one of them was the worst week I've had in a loooong time, but whatevs it's over now!

St Pats break was awesome. Had a ton of fun and stuff! I mean, where I'm at St Pats is like a big deal and we actually have a mid semester break for it. So that happens.

But Spring Break was awesomer. I got the amazing opportunity to travel to Peru with some classmates to study the geology/geological formations of the mountains and volcanoes, and also we looked at the engineering work of the Incans. It was amazing and honestly, I can't even begin to tell you how life changing it was for me.

Here's a picture of me on top of the sun temple:


It was an amazing trip. I have so many great memories! If you ever get the chance to go abroad, take it! You will not regret it! The only bad thing was not having cell phone signal and not being able to drink the water, but other than that you're fine! And honestly, not having my phone wasn't a big deal. I only missed it because I couldn't tell people at home I was okay.

I finally saw FROZEN! And what an amazing movie that is! I adore it, am obsessed with it, and even bought the soundtrack for it. Disnerd ova hurrr.

In other news, I've been making bows like crazy to prepare for the opening of my Etsy shop. I have to order business cards, shipping supplies, and get some artwork done and that's all that stands in the way of it opening! I'm pretty excited because I'm very proud of the designs I've been making. It's become a really fun hobby for me and an escape from work and school.

Easter is fast approaching and you know what that means... LENT IS OVER AND I CAN EAT CHEESE DIP AGAIN! That's what I gave up this year. It's an addiction for me, buttttt I don't care. Although Lent being over is bitterweet since that means no more AYCE fish fries.

March was a month of laziness in the fitness department. The beginning of the month I was doing great. Over St Pats working out is laughable. In Peru, I hiked alot and walked everywhere and climbed things so I'm counting that as working out. It felt like working out anyway! But also since I've been back from Peru, I've been behind in school (I had to miss classes for flights) and trying so hard to catch up. I don't want to make the excuse that I haven't had time for the gym, because I have (and I've gone a few times -- don't get me wrong), it's just that I have been so dang tired after a day that I just don't want to go. I haven't even cooked myself dinner in the past week, it's been that bad. Starting soon though, I'm forcing myself to get up early and go. This way I have no excuses because what else was I gonna do at that time... sleep? Psh. Plus since I have a 10k this summer I really can't take weeks off at a time.

I've also discovered an amazing new ~alcoholic~ beverage called St. Germain. It's the most amazing tasting thing ever I highly recommend you go buy it right now. Plus I've been in love with Gin and 7 up this month. Perfect combo.

I guess nothing else really interesting is happening in my life right now. :)
