I make exercise nerdy.

Musings and thoughts of A recently graduated masters student, currently working in the clinical field of exercise physiology before trying to move onto a PhD. Why? Because I'm a massachist apparently.

Where's the best spot to live in Canada?

I'm looking at jobs and places now.

This election is depressing.

Neither of these assholes are fit to run a country.

MOVE. TO. CANADA. MOVE. TO. CANADA. YAYYYYYYYYYY xD

I mean free healthcare, nice people, hockey, flannel (stereotypically), and maple syrup? It's a no brainer.I'm packing now.

Question....

Are elections typically this insane? Because I don't remember in all three elections I've voted in ever having two more insane candidates. Moral of the story? I'm moving to Canada, before they build a wall and make us pay for it.

Ranting is therapy. Just putting this out there

So work had been nearly killing me these last two weeks. I've been totally stressed out because I'm picking up other people's slack and not trying to let my stuff slip as well. Today I took the GRE and psyched myself out. I got literally last years minimum score for ASUs program. I wanted higher. Then I come home to find out that my advisor still hasn't given me the letter I need to submit tonight to the program in Australia. Come to find out I don't use have to submit the letter, but a completely new application... after 4 more hours of insanity, I finally send it in. Now I leave for Hawaii tomorrow to see my friend. I'm totally excited for it, but my body isn't. With all this stress and new eating treatment plan, I've gained like 10 lbs. I think this may be the heaviest I've ever weighed. It doesn't feel right and I'm uncomfortable in my skin... let alone a swim suit. I have to be okay with it... I'm not going to let it stop me from having fun while I'm there. My metabolism is resetting. I know that. I know I feel heavier than I look. I know that. I know I'm WAY healthier than I was when I was restricting. This is better for my body and my ability to think. I am healthy and if this is what my healthy looks like at the moment, so be it. I'm going to relax, destress, and go be active with my friend which I haven't had a chance to do.

I'm going to need a glass of wine... or five... to get through this debate

I'm supposed to be cramming for the GRE

So obviously I decide to drink wine, online shop, get back on Tumblr, and start a new bullet journal. Because that's rational.

I am seriously torn between actually studying for my GRE next week, cleaning and organizing everything, or going to bed for a million years. The struggle of procrastination/productivity is real.

A short PSA on exercise physiology... because no one knows what it is.

Exercise physiology is the study of human physiology during exercise or with a disease state. We study chronic and acute adaptations that the body goes through in order to compensate or better preform. We study the mechanisms of pathology and use exercise as a treatment for many chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. It's a preventative branch of health care that is up and coming. Read articles... if it is not written by an MD, an exercise physiologist writes it... except we are typically not paid off by drug companies are are TYPICALLY trained further in research. That and we have more time on our hands because we don't see patients (unless you work in clinical). As an exercise physiologist you can: - research - cardiac rehab - pulmonary rehab - sports performance - be friends with all the cyclists because they are whores for data - military research - exercise testing and screening - health Evals - cardiopulmonary stress tests The list is longer, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. The field is large, wonderful and no one knows about it. Hopefully this gave you a little insight to it.

Here’s a science joke for you.

Political science.

Someone needs to write a how to adult book.

I get paying bills and rent and writing a resume... but I need help on this whole "what do you want to do with you life", dating, "I want to shoot my coworkers", "I miss it when I just had to worry about a class grade and my thesis", and finding a boyfriend while simultaneously wanting to sleep for a 1000 years because the stress is too much.

Things I've decided.

1) Common sense isn't common 2) eating food is a good thing 3) No, I don't want to hear about your vegan crossfit lifestyle... And trust me you don't want my opinion on it. You won't like it. 4) I hate being single and dating equally, so I'm just going to continue being a badass mother fucker and focus on myself.
