I think I'm a pretty resilient person for the most part. I tend to bounce back from disappointment or tragedy fairly quickly. It's not that I don't mourn, grieve, cry, etc. as much as the normal person. I just try not to let it rule my life. There are sometimes, though, that I find it harder than normal to just get over things. Like the other day when I was just down anyway and we went to Mimi's which I was so looking forward to, and we waited in our booth for 20 minutes, and the waitress didn't even come over to tell us she was busy so we left because I didn't want to keep waiting there like a chump. Or the time a client yelled at me about how incompetent and idiotic I was because I couldn't post a contract to the system, even though I told him that no one could except data entry and that I'd sent an email to them to have it keyed in as we were on the phone. Sometimes it's just hard to let it go. Anyway... I just had to get that off my chest.

In other news, I have officially survived the first week of school. I am taking:

Intro to Forensic Science

Japanese 2010

Intro to Film.

The verdict is:

I LOVE my Forensic class. I eat up EVERYTHING we learn in that class, it's completely fascinating. There are too many people who like to comment on inane subjects and make stupid comments, but my teacher is fantastic and I have a really good feeling about where it might take me (school-wise).

I am struggling in my Japanese class, but what else is new. Good news, my teacher is the same teacher I had last year, and she's great. I hope I pass, keep your fingers crossed for me.

I have yet to go to my film class, it's only on Saturday mornings and I thought it was at the Weber campus but lo, and behold, it's at the Davis campus so I missed it last weekend. I'm pretty excited for it though because I love movies, and I love critiquing things so... I'll hopefully do well.

I also started working out three days a week, I go ride the bike at the Weber gym every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings. I didn't go last Saturday or today, but I'm determined to stay as on track as possible. I also do Pilates a couple times a week, with a Pilates band. It's pretty hard core, I figure it's more fun for me than lifting weights. We'll see when I start noticing a difference. I already noticed I tend to have more energy, and by default I want to eat better than I have been. It's pretty amazing how quickly your body responds to exercise.

I love this time of year. The transition between summer and fall is amazing. I love when you go outside and realize that for the first time in a few months you need a jacket in the mornings. Or when you go out in the evening and you can feel the change in the air. The air smells different, the trees and grass start changing colors, the late summer vegetables, fruit, and flowers are in abundance. As Joe Fox said in 'You've Got Mail', "Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies." I agree wholeheartedly. Although, I love fall just about anywhere in the world. I love wearing sweaters, and tights, and cute jackets. I love when my cheeks get rosy from the cool air. I love Frightmares at Lagoon, and carving pumpkins, and drinking hot cocoa and cider. It's seriously my favorite time of the year.
