Getting settled

I'm posting on a Saturday. I feel like normally I do this on a Friday.

As long as I sit down to type something out, I guess.

Lets see...over the past week. Hm.

Well, on Sunday I submitted my first writing assignment. I think it was pretty rough. I was still struggling a bit to really organize my thoughts. I got some great feedback though and I think it will help me a lot for my future assignments.

I guess it was a good first run to get my brain really kickstarted and producing things.

As of Thursday, I have finally used the gym at the university. It's actually pretty convenient for deadlifts, as they actually have bumper plates. The gym on base has two deadlifting platforms, but they don't have bumper plates. (Definitely makes sense, right?) So, they have this awesome space to deadlift, but the plates they provide are excellent for moving around so the bar lands wonky- back tweak city anyone?

A friend of mine wants to make it a weekly thing for Thursdays. Which is fine for me. So on Thursdays, we deadlift. And by we I mean just me.

That makes me happy though. Even though pulling bumper plates off of the bar can be awkward and annoying.

Oh and on Tuesday I actually did some hip thrusts. Yay! Gettin my booty muscles workin in Alaska!

Today I attended a Community Psychology Research Collaborative meeting. That was nice. I learned a lot about refugees, their needs, and specific challenges they face. So, that was informative. I'm excited to continue my involvement with that group. :]

Mmm. Plus I got a dirty chai. It's been a while since I had one. Perfect drink for gloomy weather.

Still considering the direction I want to take with my thesis. I have to submit an idea for my Lit Review by Monday. I was considering something like trauma interventions with transgender individuals. Unfortunately it's a pretty narrow area of research, but there is definitely research in related areas that I could pull in.

I guess we'll see!
