Reunited and it feels so good(:

As you may know, I got foot surgery over the summer- a much needed surgery. This lovely beauty knocked me out of running for a few months.. which is kinda a big deal. I went from being able to run about seven miles in the beginning of June, to struggling to even jog a mile by the beginning of August. I don't know why, but it really irked me... a lot. Andd, instead of being all strong willed about it and pushing through the pain until it got easier, I gave up. I didn't run for about another month and a half...way to be an example of personal motivation, right?? So I was pretty much a slacker.. I hated the way I felt not exercising. I felt lazy and like I couldn't eat so much junk because I knew I wasn't running any of it off... dramatic, eh? Then one night, my sister was going running, and instead of continuing my self pity, I decided to join her. We went for a fifteen minute jog that night, then gradually built up. Today, I can FINALLY say that I, Natalie Mortensen, can run up to 4 miles(: without stopping(:

Time flies by when you're having.... Ap U.S. History??

Two months?? What a wonderful bloggerett I am(: Bloggerett? Sure(: Well it's just about a term into the new school year and things are going stupendous. I think that means great.. I hope it does. School is keeping me anxious, friends are keeping me laughing, and homework is keeping me sleepy(: But I wouldn't have it any other way. I would rather be busy and accomplishing hard classes than sitting in a good-for-nothing Easy-A course. (Ya.. I just said course. It's a fancy word for Class) Anyway, this opinion of mine led me to a now seemingly sinful decision of taking AP U.S. History, my sophomore year. The class is killing me. I am not joking. This is no "oh ya... I've got lots of homework" kind of class. This is a "I had a nightmare that I failed my AP History Exam, and got shunned from the world" kind of class. That's the kind(:

And now that I have gone on for a lengthy paragraph about my fear of Ap U.S. History, I will end my nerdy post by saying that I love my APUSH buddies(: I love study parties at Haley's house and I love getting random bursts of intelligence(:

ANDD, I love life(:
