Work Out Update

So I've been taking a workout class in school for the past few month and I'm loving it! I've learnt so much, not just about working out but nutrition as well. I've accomplished losing weight and body fat percentage, I'm very proud of myself and seeing results is so motivating. I can finally do a push up... I know lame but honestly before I couldn't even do one girl push up (embarrassing right?) but now I'm able to do regular ones! Woooooo! I'm seeing changes in my body, when I flex my bicep I can actually see some muscle there. I love the changes working out does for me, just one hour a day makes me such a happier person. I'm becoming more confident in my body. This class is something I'll take with me and use for the rest of my life.

NBA :O

October 29th is finally here. Today are the first seaon games of the year!!! Orlando Magic vs. Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers vs. Los Angeles Lakers, and the one most people I know are excited about is the Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat game. Basketball is for sure my favourite sport to watch and I can't wait for this season to begin ! 

Pumpkins!

Today after school I was just browsing the internet and came across this beautiful picture and I thought I'd share! I love Halloween so much and I thought that this picture kind of just captures the beauty of it! 

Wait... what just happened?

OMG. Thats all I have to say. I just finished applying to UNIVERSITY!! I just applied for direct entry to Human Ecology majoring in Human Nutrition Sciences at the University of Manitoba. I'm nervous, scared and excited all at the same time. I'm praying I can keep my grades up to be able to be accepted.
I'm hoping to be eligible for the early entrance scholarships (keeping my fingers crossed). If you don't know what Human Nutritional Sciences is, its what you take if you're wanting to become a dietitian (which is what I want to do) or many other careers that needs your knowledge of food and nutrition. Such as Health and Safety Coordinator, Food Product and Recipe Developer and Geriatric Food Designer. There are so many careers you can go into after you've completed your Human Nutritional Sciences degree. I'm SUPER excited to study and learn more about what I'm passionate about... I CAN'T WAIT!

Bra Certified!

So today at work (Victorias Secret) I passed my bra certification test and and I'm now bra certified!! What does this mean? It means I'm able to work in the fitting rooms by myself and I'm able to correctly find her, her perfect fit (In bras of course). I'm SUPER excited about this :) 

What if Calories Cost Money?

http://writingprompts.tumblr.com/page/2

If calories cost 1cent per calorie I think many people would eat healthier. Fruits and veggies are way lower in calories then per say a cheese burger. I know that I would stay clear of the more expensive higher calorie foods just to save. People should be buying more fruits and veggies already but if they had a incentive WAY more people would be doing this. Fruits are about 90-100 calories a piece (90 cents to a dollar) compare to a cheese burger that is upward of 1000 calories for ONE burger (10 dollars) no one could afford buying multiple a day with prices like that.

Quick Write Robot

My robot servant would probably be a personal maid. I'm not too fond of cleaning and if I never had to clean again that wouldn't bother me on bit. My robot would be a shape shifter (that would be pretty cool) and would be able to change into whatever cleaning device or product it needs. Other then that my robot would have a filtered water fountain because I'm always drinking lots of water and I HATE tap water.... I personally think it tastes kinda gross. My robot would be orange because I really like the colour orange. When its not cleaning it will just look like a table or something ordinary so that i don;t have a huge robot in my room looking ugly and whatnot. I wouldn't want my robot to do everything for me because then I would turn into a really lazy unhealthy person.

iPhone Appearance

I chose to create Charlies iPhone case to look like a bookshelf of his life. All of the books on the bookshelf are the ones Charlie was assigned to read by Bill. I coloured a black square over the camera part of the case to indicate how Charlie is never seen by everyone. He is always out of the picture, not in peoples minds. In the top right of the case I placed a jar with water in it representing all the tears Charlie has shed through out his life. The tissue box represents Charlies tears as well. The present on the second shelf shows the last present Charlie received from his Aunt Helen before she passed. The football to represent Charlie watching his brother play football with his family. Pencil and paper for Charlie to write all his letters with. Blood droplets representing Michaels and his Aunt Helens deaths. A memorial plaque for his Aunt Helen. I placed a black jelly bean on the shelf representing Charlie as the one who nobody wants. Cigarettes to show that Charlie smokes. Lastly there are dust bunnies under the shelf representing how Charlie is always never really though of, he's pushed to the side and forgot about.

Six Word Memoir De-brief

What did I learn about storytelling?

During this assignment I’ve realized that not all stories needed to be long written novels.  Not just the six words in our six word memoirs helped tell the story, but also the pictures. You hear the expression all the time “a picture says 1000 words” in this case they do. Along with the six words we’ve wrote, the picture as well as the punctuation helps tell the story.  You don’t need a novel to tell a story. By choosing the right combination of six words and picture, you are able to tell a complex story.

Where did I show my knowledge about using storytelling skills?

I showed my knowledge about using storytelling skills by using descriptive words throughout my six word memoirs. If you are wanting to tell a story in six words you need to be straight to the point by using words that a descriptive. I was able to use punctuation to help get my point across more effectively.  I also used visuals to help tell the story. But choosing pictures that help elaborate on the story I was able to make what I was talking about more clearly to the reader.

What did I learn as a reader, storyteller, and thinker?

I never realized how six words and a picture could open up a whole new thinking experience for you. As I read through my fellow classmates work I began to think what their stories were about. This assignment really made you think of all the possible ways you can say the same thing. I know when I was creating my six word memoir I would have to carefully chose the words I was going to use making sure the sentence was not over six words.  I’ve learned from this assignment that there is hundreds of ways you can tell a story you just need to be creative.

Fall is Here <3

I'm so excited that fall is finally here! It is by far my favorite times of the year, not too cold or too hot. The leaves falling off the trees scattering and piling up everywhere is so beautiful. Finally being able to wear warm cozy sweaters, leggings, boots and scarves…. What’s not to love about this weather? Fall to means Halloween, Thanksgiving and shortly after Christmas! I love love love going to all the Halloween attractions around the city. Six Pines is for sure my favourite out of all. Going with a big group of friends in the haunted house is the best time. Lets not forget about the fall bike rides! I enjoy biking down Corydon with my friends and grabbing delicious Starbucks.

Six Word Memoir #8

I chose this photo for my six word memoir about family.  I took this picture during one of the craziest thunderstorms I’ve driven through. I love thunderstorms; I love how calming they are, I love the sound they make, and I love the way they make everything smell so fresh and clean after.  My family and I were driving home from the lake (note my cousin drinking pop in the bottom left hand corner) and I had to snap a picture of the amazing lightning happening outside. I edited this picture in a way that the lightning was very visible. I made the font blue to represent the rain.

Six Word Memoir #7

I chose this photo for my six word memoir about my friends. To moon the world with your personality means to me that you should just be yourself. Don’t worry what others think about you, have fun and don’t be scared! I love this picture for this quote because it shows exactly that. I’m showing my goofy personality with my friends and not embarrassed to show it. I chose to bold my text because to show your true personality means you need to be a pretty bold and strong person. I didn’t edit any of the picture because with editing things I find that some hide things. In this picture I don’t want anything hidden I want all my personality to shine through.

Six Word Memoir #6

I chose this photo for my six word memoir about my family. This picture is of my mom and I. Its from a trip we took to the states and we got matching shoes. My mom will forever and always be my best friend. She’s been with me through the thick and thin and I love her dearly. I chose to put the text in between us to symbolize bringing us together. Those words are almost like glue sticking us together and we will never be apart or out of each others lives.
