Well, I’ll admit. I haven’t even ATTEMPTED exercising in the past two weeks. About two weeks ago I started having random flutters in my heart beat pattern that would take my breath away, and I was too scared to get my heart beat up. I went to the doctor though, and I was told that I could continue my routine, but to come back if I ever started getting dizzy when the flutters happen, blacking out, or if they ever lasted for longer than a minute.

Monday, it’s back to work!

I got a job working as a teacher’s aide at a local elementary school. Well, actually I’m working with three teachers, and well over 100 students. Not too bad for a 17 year old. I’m being payed meager wages, but I’m making a difference in these kids lives.

I work primarily with students who are having issues with reading skills, and those who are having discipline problems. I’m working through a program the local school board puts on that allows me to privately tutor students on reading skills, and when I’m not doing that I’m helping to manage the students and keep them walking the straight-and-narrow.

Overall, I enjoy my job. I had to stock up on Vitamin C though. I work with first, second, and third grade. My first day of work, a second grader sneezed into my mouth. shudder

I was supposed to go running today, but I’ve decided to make up for it tomorrow instead. My body is still WAY too wrecked from my first work out session. Any tips on recovering faster, anyone?
