Day 4 - Tuesday already?!

Despite still being early in the week, it's hard to believe Tuesday is almost over!

Woke up, went to work out, came home and continued with Final Fantasy. I also got in some work, so a job well done today!

Other than that, nothing out of the ordinary happened... nothing yet at least. =P

Day 3 - Welcome back FF XIII-3

Woke up at my usual time, but I ended up drifting back to sleep till around 8ish.

Got up, went to work out, did some errands, came back and did more errands.

After that was all said and done, I finally got a chance to go back to FF XIII-3! I started two years ago (during Spring Break too if I'm not mistaken). I completed Day 8 in the game, with about 6 more days to go... (assuming I get the final bonus day).

I should be able to beat it this break!!

Day 2 - Spring Banquet

Typical Sunday morning in that it started off with karate. The morning class seemed quieter than usual (including the class I teach), but that's probably due to Spring Break. We had a black belt ceremony, followed by our annual spring banquet.

It was nice to see all sorts of people that I haven't seen in a while. After catching up, it was time to clean up and head home.

I realized that my cell plan hasn't changed from the call I made yesterday, so I contacted my cellular company again. After a couple minutes, they did manage to change it to what I was supposed to get yesterday. I was notified by a text stating my two years of Spotify and Daily Vice for free.

And there went my afternoon... I spent a lot of time on Spotify: finding songs, syncing songs from my computer, learning about offline features, etc. Amazing app, though I'm not sure if I want to fork over $10 a month in the future once my two year trial is over...

But that's it for today!

Day 1 of Spring Break 2016

Yay for spring break! I got in a decent deadlift work out, finished my taxes and switched my cell plan! More productive on a Saturday than the past couple of months! I also managed to get back to the Ballade, after what seems like a month!

For the past couple of hours, I was working on writing my short story. Not writing for a long time has made it much more difficult than it used to be. It'll will take some time as I edit and rewrite certain sections to fit my wants for a precusor to my longer story for the future!

And off to bed I go! To hopefully a more relaxing Spring Break than my Winter Break... No gundams to build!

Squat Day

Forgot it was St. Patrick's Day until a student told me this morning. I didn't end up wearing any green at all today.

Work was typical, though I didn't get as much work done as I would have liked. It's tough knowing that Spring Break is only a day away!

Work out went well! I managed to squat about my own weight (185 lbs total) for about 6 x 3. Front squat 135 was brutal, but manageable at around 10 x 5. My legs are tired (and probably from badminton last night), but feel great. My previous injury didn't hamper me at all today! =)

And onto the last day before break starts! Well some sort of break... it'll be time to catch up on work and plan for the last couple of months.

First day of tryouts!

Laziness will be the last of me... I have no excuses for not blogging over the past couple of weeks.

Today marks the first day of tryouts for badminton. Unlike last year, there was a ton of students trying out for the grade 7 (and essentially 6) team. Unlike last year as well, I had another teacher help coach. It definitely makes coaching a lot easier!

Lots of drills today, with little racket work. Most of them were actually able to keep up with the conditioning today.

I wonder how the 8s will fare tomorrow...

Welcome back deadlifts

My last session at the gym was on Friday, thus meaning I had a longer break than usual with today being the first time back to the gym for me. 

I haven't deadlifted since injuring myself on Feb 12. I managed to do about 8-10 sets of 2 plates and about 3 sets of eccentric plate+10. My injury started to flare up, but it's definitely not as bad as before. And for the first day back... I have to say that I felt I did a decent job!

Parent Teacher Interviews tomorrow...
