I was feeling well enough to make it to tkd class a few times this week and tested for my new belt yesterday! Hooray! It was exciting. I always get nervous when I'm testing in anything--taekwondo, school, it doesn't matter. Even if I am confident that I know all the necessary information, I tend to get nervous and forget things. It drives me crazy because I know the material, I just over think things and forget. Not that that happened at my belt testing, I did fine, but I was nervous. I can't help it. :/ I was thinking about that because I am hopefully going to go back to school to finish my applied math degree in the fall. Totally off topic, yes. When I took Calc I-III I got all A's, but then I graduated with a marketing degree and worked for awhile. After that I went back to school for a semester. I took 3 upper level mathematics classes and a programming class while working multiple part-time jobs. Because of that, and because of my horrible test taking abilities, I did not do quite as well as before. Partly because of how busy I was, but I should definitely have made more time to study. I will do that for sure this coming fall.
Okay, back to my weekend. A Buffalo Wild Wings recently opened up near where I live, so my husband and I were planning on going yesterday. We were going there to celebrate his birthday last week, but due to the Red Sox game, the wait for a table was so long that we did not stay. Instead we decided to try again today (Saturday) but had the same problem. Oh well, we will try going sometime during the week when it will be less crowded. Neither of us are Boston fans, I know, we live in New England, but we aren't originally from here. Regarding his birthday though, I made him a german chocolate cake with chocolate fudge icing. It doesn't look very pretty, but it tastes good! I tried using a cookie icing to decorate the cake because it was on sale and I am cheap. It was much harder to write with than using a gel. I usually like to make a double layer cake, but since I don't have any cake pans anymore, I just made a 13x9. Double layers are more fun to decorate! (And I swear I am usually better at making them look nice! haha)
Now that my cold is practically gone, I need to get back to running. I hate that I missed about 2 weeks while sick. :( I am going to try to make up for it by running more than three times a week for a little while. I need to build up my endurance. I'll either go out tomorrow or Monday. I prefer running on weekdays to weekends. Less people are out running and I don't feel so bad that I suck at running. I know I shouldn't feel bad about it, I'm at least trying after all. But when I am running and have to keep stopping to walk and catch my breath and I see other people just keep running and running I feel like I suck. While I know it's not like that, and everyone has to start somewhere, I still prefer running when there are less people out.
That is my update for the weekend. I just finished watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It was on tv a few days ago and I recorded it. I love HP, especially the books. Fred and George are my favorites. I love them. :) Okay, enough of that. Now I'm off to do some pilates, got to get in a workout today. :)
