Winter Adventures

    So last week when it began snowing I had no idea it would snow hard enough in one day to prevent me from returning home for the weekend.  I walked out to my car the next morning and noticed the 3-5 inches of snow on my car so Samantha and I spent nearly 30 minutes scraping all the ice and snow off it.  Then come to find out that it wouldn't budge more than about 5 inches in my parking lot.  So we decided to walk back to her apartment, which is only around a mile or so away.  It was quite an adventure, I felt like a nomad travelling in a desolate new land.

   As I pulled into the Commuter parking lot that next Monday I realized that it was a sheet of ice covered in snow, so everyone ended up guessing where the parking spots were.  Later on we all found out that we were parking everywhere except in the parking spots.  While walking to class I heard a few stories of people building a 10 foot tall snowman, a giant igloo, and throwing some epic snowball fights.  As for me I just spent the weekend relaxing, playing some cards, and of coarse keeping up with my P90X workout.

    The workouts are getting easier, I mean they're still tough, but I'm not getting near as sore as when I first started.  I recently began phase 2 of the workout which changes two of the disks out for two new ones.  The first one was "Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps" . . . and man was it tough.  I definitely felt that one for the next couple days.  The second new disk was "Back and Biceps", it wasn't terribly hard since I'm used to working those areas but it was still a pretty intense disk! Well who am I kidding . . . every disk is intense, but it's like the old saying goes, "No pain, No gain!"
