Hello hello everyone, I’m ALIVE!
First, thank you all so much for your comments on my fear post– I got some really amazing and supportive feedback and it means the world to me to know others out there can relate. <3 I can’t say thank you enough!
Sorry I’ve been completely MIA– I’ve been a hermit in my study cave for the past week, spent a fun 4th of July with my family, and have honestly been enjoying life outside the computer.
Here are some memorable scenes:
found my FAVORITE brand of pb–arrowhead mills–in the target clearance area for $2! I bought 4 jars…one is almost gone
my family and I entered a 5k/1k fun run on the 4th! My dad set a new PR for himself and my mom and I got funny participation medals haha
local 4th of july parade with a cool motorcycle car thingy
free samples from the local health food store– HUZZAH!
made a motivational collage when i needed a study break 
I do have some AWESOME news to report though– today I took my final for O-Chem 1 and JUST squeaked by with a passing grade!!! Like LITERALLY a 70!
What does this mean?? I’m halfway done with my summer courses and with chem FOREVER!!!
Words can’t even begin to describe my joy.
So that’s about it on the homefront…I’m totally taking advantage of this down time weekend between the classes– my brain is gonna melt like a smore for awhile and I’m AOK with that. 
And I gotta catch up on everyone’s blogs, I can’t wait to see what yall have been up to!
Now to just survive another 5 weeks of mental hell with O Chem 2 haha 
Gotta keep positive and trust in the Lord!
See y’all next week!
Congrats on being done with chem! Keep plugging away through the summer, it will be worth it! You got some awesome free samples there! I am so crazy about Blox. Almost instantaneous recovery, it’s seriously nuts.
DUDE i know right?! I tried that sample the other morning and was floored!
way to go! those classes literally kill people. i am glad you are staying so positive and finding that balance in life.
Thanks girl!! <3
Congrats on the grade
I can relate to such excitement yay you
Thank ya Meg!
Oh, O-Chem, thou art a heartless bitch. I remember that class. Worst class ever. Couldn’t understand the professor or the TA…partly because of their accents, but mostly because all I saw when I saw the PowerPoints, they looked like this: “The~@#90mixes with 4237 ^5823×36 and then forms 95d74&(*(^_%$. Why?” Oh, and the labs took foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvverrrrrrrrrrrr. I do not envy you!
Love Biology and Physics. Chemistry can suck it. So – congrats on being half done.
You’ll totally survive OChem 2. Better to have a mental hell from that than from ED thoughts!
Is it bad that I knew that jar was from Target just by the appearance of the Clearance sticker? Haha. Enjoy your break!
Heck yes to biology, I love that subject so much too!! Chem blows haha And you’re so right about those slides– it’s like hieroglyphics!
As a fellow PB freak, 4 jars for that price is AMAZING. CONGRATS on passing! WOO!
And I love that collage 
Congrats to your dad too!
I totally thought of you when I bought them!
And thanks friend!
YAHHHHH for being almost done with chem!! keep truckin!
I love your collage too, motivational collages is like my de-stress activity of choice lol!
Hi-5 on passing the class! Always a good feeling. Also, congrats on completing a 5K during this ridiculous heat wave!
Haha — congrats on being almost through with Chemistry!
My major will be associating with a lot of that kind of stuff, so I don’t think I’ll be able to get out of it. Best of luck to you with the next 5 weeks! I know the Lord will be there for you. 
PB on clearence? That’d seriously make my day!
Congrats on passing the test, and on being halfway done – that must feel great!
Have you tried any of the samples yet?
I tried the blox and they offered really nice recovery, and I’ve also tried the chocolate pb isoflex whey which was tasty! The green apple superpump was a gnarly flavor, but I love the results it gives for workouts so I chugged it anyway heehee
What did you notice specifically in your recovery? It sounds good- it’s expensive though!
Do you ever use pre workouts? I’m looking into getting some for those days where you can use that bit of extra oomph – but the teeniest bit of cafeine keeps me up all night!
congrats on being so close to being done and you and your family are soooo cute!
ps – I nominated you for the versatile blogger award!
Congrats on being halfway through chem forever!!!
Wahooo girl, great job for being halfway done, and also passing the last test! That is seriously admirable for organic becasue hot dang that class is incredibly difficult. So well done indeed miss Alex

Congrats on making it half way through chem! Yay for living outside of the computer this week! I try to do that on the weekends, and it is always a nice change
Congrats on finishing orgo1! I can’t believe you’re only taking the classes for 5 weeks each, that’s so intense! Good luck with orgo 2.
Also, great job to your dad, and you and your mom for having fun!!
Yay for your chem grade!!! So excited for you that it is half over! It will be over before you know it now. And congrats on the race and your dads PR! That’s great! I love you collage, great idea! Have a great and relaxing weekend Alex!!
I can only imagine how great arrowhead mills peanut butter is considering they know how to do cereal!! And for $2!? Thats a steal. Congrats on being half way done!
DUDE you gotta try it, you will be SO addicted!!
Yay for being halfway done! I felt the same way in my climate class last semester–so much stress but it felt amazing when it was finally over! I love your collage, there’s nothing like de-stressing by cutting out magazines
Congratulations on passing the chemistry, that’s so good!
It’s great that you do those runs with your family – and I love the fact you’ve got a jar of pb under “memorable scenes”
I am SOOOO jazzed you are done with chem!! GOOD RIDDANCE! That is the WORST class in the world. Awesome 5k medals!! I have yet to get a medal for a race, poop!! Enjoy your time before chem 2…POOOOOP!
No medals for all those epic races you’ve done?! That’s just wrong!
I like your motivational collage! congrats on being halfway done…that HAS to feel amazing
So proud of you for squeaking through. I def understand that one as I’m taking anatomy for funzies right now and just need a passing grade. Great job.
