It's Dull, But I'm Going to Do It

So, I haven't been blogging much lately. Mostly because I feel like I have nothing to blog about, and I certainly don't have any picture to post. I'm always forgetting to bring my camera, let alone take pictures. So I've decided to do weekly updates. They might be boring, but at least I'm keeping everyone posted. So here's this past week...

On Monday Sean and I met up with my family at the Gateway to go see "Space Pirates." And if any of you are thinking of going, don't, unless you have a year pass to the planetarium. It was one of those things that you go to that is uncomfortably cheesy, because you know that the people who made this were completely serious. At the end all of us looked at each other and said something along the lines of "What the heck was that!" Anyway, even though the movie was painful, the thing that looked like a giant game of "mouse trap" was fun. Plus we went to the gift shop and I got terribly distracted by these stuffed animals they had, wait...correct that....stuffed microbes. They had all kinds of stuffed contractible diseases. There was, to name a few: a pink plush mono, The Flu, E. coli, H1N1 (oddly enough looked like a pig), Shingella, Ebola, ect. It was really fun to look through them, in the end I gave Sean Herpes and he gave me Syphilis. After the planetarium we all went to The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and got Carmel apples. It was so fun to see my family again.
School's been good so far this semester. I'm loving my Social Health and Diversity class, it's been really enlightening. Part of my grad in that class is service learning which I'm going to be doing at Horizonte with the ESL program. I'm also taking a World Religions class which is also made me realize how much I didn't know. The cool thing is that I'm required to go on these "field trips" do the different religious sessions, and I can take Sean with me. This week we are going to the Sikh temple which he is excited for because they feed you after and he loves Indian food.
We've also been going to the gym together, which is good because I'm so out of shape and I need some outside motivation to get back into shape. He's also getting me to do weight training which I absolutely hate, but he gets me through it.
So that's my week, it seems more eventful now that I actually think about it.
