Kept myself on track this week, but holy crap this third level is kicking my ass. I’m starting to do stretching beforehand, which is good because the exercises are definitely getting strenuous enough to make cramps & pulls a concern.

Going to bed on time worked well this week. I got up (more or less) on time, exercised, ate a good breakfast, and went to work.
The circuit program is working well. I’m ready to bump myself up to the third level, which should make me feel accomplished but instead makes me nervous (how much tougher will this one be?) I shouldn’t feel this way, but I guess I need to work on my attitude a bit.
Got my second rejection yesterday. So far I’ve been rejected by the two really top-class schools that I didn’t seriously think I’d be getting into anyway. Still a bit discouraging though…
Right now I’m worrying about how to PAY for this whole adventure. I’d hate to have to take big loans or go to the parents, but in my line of work it looks like you don’t automatically get funding along with the acceptance. Bummer…
