Motivation
for Staying Motivated
This is a tough time of year. It's not that there's really that much
more work to do right now, we've had tests and papers due all year
long. The problem is losing motivation to complete these tasks. I know
that I'm having trouble staying motivated. The weather is getting nice,
plus a new season of "Celebrity Fit Club" is on (featuring
Screech).
I'm anxious to see some old friends, and can't wait to do so. It'll
just be nice to not have to worry about anything really being due for
the next 4 months. Don't start slacking now though. We only have a
couple of weeks left. Finish the semester strong. Study for your exams
as hard as you can. Proof read your papers a few times over. Don't let
a bad grade at the end of the semester ruin what you've worked a half
of a year on. Also, don't be too ready too leave too early. If you
haven't had a college summer vacation before, it can get kind of
boring. I was ready to be back at school by mid-July my first
collegiate summer. So keep on keepin' on, and as a cajun clad Rob
Schneider in "The Waterboy" would say... you can do it!
Hidden
Talents
A couple of weeks ago we asked y'all to send us your amazing hidden
talents! Here's what you sent us!
Katherine Pike writes:
"A friend of mine and I taught each other how to sing
"row-row-row your
boat" backwards. I don't know if that's a talent or having too much
free time."
Chris Nolen, mentioned in our last hidden talents piece, informed me:
"Kate! Don't forget that I can break an apple in half with my bare
hands, and do a cartwheel. Not at the same time."
Katherine, Chris, thanks for your submissions! Katherine, I don't think
you have too much time on your hands, if you ever want to learn Pi let
me know. Chris, I will always be jealous that you can do a cartwheel
and I can't.

Heads, Joni Mitchell and their predecessors such as the Beatles, Bob
Dylan and Neil Young. We must warn you that one Neil Diamond tune has
somehow snuck into their repertoire as well. The Yaardvarks will be

Kate's Corner - Staying
Healthy
 First
of all I would like to say thank you to my good friend that I have been
going to the gym with for the last month for motivating me to go last
night even though I really didn't want to get off my lazy bum, and then
to another friend of mine that I passed on the walk there that said
"Going to the gym Kate? Way to go, stay motivated!" Y'all made
my night.
When I got to the gym last night and got my workout on it taxed my body
more than usual. I couldn't figure out why, and then the Seinfeld
episode came on where Kramer stores his own blood in Newman's freezer
and everyone tells Jerry he's gaining weight. Jerry freaks out at this,
and replaces all of his junk food with fruit and vegetables. Then it
dawned on me the food I had eaten throughout the day: half a dozen
donuts, four cups of coffee, and half of a sandwich leftover from
Sunday night; not the healthiest day. I am glad I went to the gym,
because even though it was a tough workout I felt better afterwards.
The point of all this is that I want y'all to focus on staying healthy
for the last couple weeks of classes and into the summer. We tend to
put a lot of focus on study tips and pacing yourself, only mentioning
to get rest. Staying in healthy habits is just as important as studying
for your finals. Take a look at what you're eating the next time you
open your fridge or at the dining hall, really look at it. Is it mostly
carbs? Grab a few slices of cucumber or carrots and some grapes to go
along with your carbo-loading. Don't try to totally convert to
super-healthy food right away like Jerry, that can lead to stress (and
who can give up sweets? Not me!). However, I encourage you to make a
conscious effort these last couple of weeks to try and balance your
eating, and also to keep a regular sleep schedule. It's a busy time of
the year, so even if your regular sleep schedule is going to bed at 3
and waking up at 8, be consistent!
Also, don't forget that hugs help stress go away, I highly recommend 33 a
day!

Quote of the
Week
Pain (any
pain--emotional, physical, mental) has a message. The information it
has about our life can be remarkably specific, but it usually falls
into one of two categories: "We would be more alive if we did more of
this," and, "Life would be more lovely if we did less of
that." Once we
get the pain's message, and follow its advice, the pain goes away.
