Another New Beginning

To say that the last two weeks of my first rotation were busy would be an understatement. I finished strong with my last rotation and I hope I can repeat my performance, if not do even better, for my next two. I start my next one tomorrow bright and early so once again the excited/nervous feeling has creeped up.

However at this point I'm quite distracted with having to leave San Antonio for the next few months. I think leaving gave me the realization that I want to stay there and not move back home. I'm already missing the many places I visit often - Local Coffee, La Cantera, Lululemon - all of which may have similar counterparts or can be found also in Houston. But just the fact that Houston is so ridiculously vast and spread out makes it difficult to visit coffee shops and my nearest Lulu (which is 45 minutes away without traffic).

Not to mention there is no Golds Gym Rogers Ranch and no Ashtanga practice near by. And most importantly - no Rynel. Yeah I know, I'm weak! I really am... I revere and respect those who leave loved ones for months or years - how heart wrenching it is. I know I will be okay but I wont have him to vent to and go to outings with. Thankfully I have my parents and my dogs! I don't have friends who live here at home anymore either. But, praise God, Rynel and I know this is only temporary and we have the rest of our lives to live, learn, and love one another. What must be done, has to be done, right?

Because I have limitations to some of the things I have been doing in San Antonio - I have to makeshift. Practicing Ashtanga at home will be difficult without a teacher correcting me but it has to be done. I'm planning to sign up for the YMCA which has bodypump and some workout equipment. My routine will be so different, but thankfully finances won't be too much of a worry since my parents will provide. Skype will be my best friend and I'll have to wait and be patient instead of making impulse purchases at Lululemon (every one says I should do online shopping, but I'm not a fan!). To pass by the time I will also blog more. All of this can and WILL be done!

Jut reflecting on all this makes me excited for what the future may contain...

Sincerely,
