It's buckle down time...

My final exams start next week.
I'm trying to make myself study, but I'm finding it really hard to buckle down. I feel like I'm drained and just don't care.
But that attitude gets me into trouble.
If I don't study hard, I'll do poorly and not accomplish my goals.

I need to force myself to sit down and study boring igneous petrology and structural geology.
I just have to make it to Dec 13 and I'll be golden! I can do it!

I just need to buckle down and work harder...

Goodbye little friend...

This weekend has been a rather rough one. We had to put our little kitten, Bastet, down. He had a very bad infection and was in alot of pain. He was one of the best kittens I ever owned; he was smart, clever, had a sense of humor and was mischevious and active. I'll miss my little friend, but it was for the best.

When we took him to the vet Friday night, the vet gave us a choice: we good keep giving him medicine (he'd been fighting the infection on and off for a couple of weeks) and keep trying to cure him, or we could end his suffering and put him down. As hard as it was, we decided to set him free. Is it fair to keep a suffering animal around because you'll miss it when it goes? I don't think so. But it's bitter sweet. He's at peace now, but I miss him alot.

So here's to you little guy...
I know your in kitty heaven raising heck:)

A little bit goes a long way...

I had as a requirement to complete 17334 push ups and situps by October 31. I'm happy to say that as of October 31, I had completed 19,317 push ups and 18,904 situps.
A while back, I had decided that I could do 10 more reps every night (10 p.u. or s.u. is quite doable) and those extra 10 really added up. I got almost 2000 extra reps in. That's the secret. Always do a little extra. You can always do a couple more. They add up!

I've decided to keep going. It would be such a waste to stop now. I've come so far, I want to keep going. So as of tonight my counts are : 19,645 p.u. and 19,230 s.u.

Who know, maybe I'll have 3,352,160 reps done by the time I'm 80:)
