NYR status update

After almost an entire half of a month of not using this blog I have so many thoughts and ideas in my head that I could write about. One of them is a NYR status update. Even though no one reads or follows me this'll fulfill my goal of blogging this year. 

Here's my NYR from my first post 

1. Improve that GPA
2. Retrain my piano skills
3. Improve my Spanish
4. Learn Tagalog
5. Read my bible daily
6. Keep doing CrossFit
7. Improve my cooking skills
8. Start a new recreational hobby

Here's the status for each

1. Improve that GPA: Not in school till Monday May 16th so nothing can be done about that
2. Retrain my piano skills: I sit and play piano maybe once every 2 weeks
3. Improve my Spanish: I have some apps on my iPad but nothing's been done
4. Learn Tagalog: about as bad as the Spanish
5. Read my bible daily: starting on it finally. I'm reading the book of Acts
6. Keep doing CrossFit: I'm going almost every day doing WODs, improving techniques, and even making up my own successful METCON exercise.
7. Improve my cooking skills: I cooked one salmon dish on Super Bowl Sunday
8. Start a new recreational hobby: it's going to be mountain biking once I buy a new bike 

So 5,6,7 have seen accomplishments. I could be doing a better job with 2,3,4. What can't happen till summer semester is 1. Still saving up for 8. 

Along the way also came new goals


9. maintain my Project 365 to the end
10. Play ultimate frisbee twice a week at least
11. Relearn some stochastics and do problems
12. Relearn some python and code 
13. Keep reading material on CPI methods/IIE articles/Health Systems 


I know I shouldn't start adding on to the list before finishing the first ones I mentioned but these goals came about during the past couple of months just from the natural flow of my life. I've realized that that is something of which I should take advantage. 


Here's to the next 3 months. 



And before I end this here are some images of my life in the past few weeks. These did not make it to my Project 365 page. 

Food Art in the office

While eating lunch I saw a huge heart-shaped strawberry that I knew had a special purpose so I saved it for later. I'm proud to say I created my first piece of food art. Behold a work I call "I love the food on which I snack."

Here's a closer view of the heart shaped strawberry. It was as delicious as it looked

Call me what you want but when your major offers no room for artistic creativity you make due with what you have, in this case a desk, the perfect strawberry, oatmeal, and almonds.
