So I am sitting in my Methods of Sociological Research class. And you ask what I am doing. Well it is a three hour class, and we talk about how to write up a research report paper. I can understand how this class would be helpful for someone who is pursuing a life in research of sociological issues. but that is not me.
at all.
*sigh* But I shall endure. Oh, and no, I'm not blowing off my education and typing a blog. our computers were messed up, and IT (the tech people) is not super successful at repairing the damage. So we wait here until they fix it. The joys of 3 hour classes is just when they feel like they should be done, there's 2 1/2 hours left to learn more fun-filled topics!
This week in internship, I got to sit in on a unit-meeting between our supervisor and about four other POs. At first my PO said I didn't have to stay, but I decided to listen in just to see what it was like. And it once again confirmed that I will love doing this. There is a lot of politics when one works in a county position, but I think I am ok with that...everything else will make it worth it.
As far as classes go, let me describe one of my favorites. It is my PE class with Ms Renda. She is wonderful. This class is officially called "Strength and Stretching" but is basically glorified yoga. I was hoping that this would be a nice relaxing PE, but Ms Renda does not believe in letting your body get away with anything. it is a vigorous workout. Thankfully we listen to gospel music, which keeps everything moving.
So just as an fyi, it has taken me a week to write this. because I am a lazy blog-writer. Ok not totally the only reason. I have this giant...no...GIGANORMOUS exam in my Jesus' Life and Ministry class. awesome class. not so awesome exam.
actually, funny-ish story from that class. my prof is trying to learn our names, so he asked us to send him a picture of ourselves to help with the process. I kept forgetting to send the picture. Finally in class, i jokingly said to him, "I'm not sending you a picture, you'll have to learn my name without it." to which he replied with all seriousness, "Oh, I already know your name. You're suzy. and you talk a lot."
of course.
we're friends now =)
Anyways. life is good. no...life is blessed. beyond what I could imagine. At random times throughout my day I am just filled with this overwhelming sense of who God is in my life.
He is mighty. He is a promise keeper. He never makes mistakes. He is healer of my heart and body. He delights over me. He is truth. He gently but firmly guides me.
and this brings my heart unspeakable joy.

From how you've described your workouts, I would say they're more like pilates. Yoga is slower paced and meditative, I think. Bouncing Gospel music could evoke some spiritual reflection (eg. "walking with Jesus") but I wouldn't necessarily compare it to yoga. And btw...good for you, pushing past comfortable! Good pain!
oh Methods...
