Back Again

It has been a bit too long since I've written in my blog. Over a year... which is understandable since I really don't like to write that much. However, I've found that since I've moved to Tennessee... well... lets just say I don't want to loose my ability to read, write, or speak English.
I suppose a quick recap of the last year or so is necessary. I completed my thesis and received my Master's Degree in Nuclear Engineering. I got a job and, as mentioned, moved to Tennessee. I think that covered it pretty well.
There are a quite a few things that I would like to accomplish this year. Some of them are getting back into working out on a steady basis, eating more, and learning Spanish. This would all be easy if I didn't work 40 hours a week.
I've just now getting my workouts in order. I purchased some equipment so that I can come home and workout, which I find to be easier and less time consuming than having to go to a gym after work.
I have not been eating enough, because I don't have a lot of time to cook, and I don't believe in eating out every day. I've come to prepare food on Sunday, and eat it during the week, but after about 2 days of eating the same thing, I am tired of eating it... so I'm still working on that.
For learning Spanish I was planning on purchasing some software to help me, however, I decided that it would probably be just as effective and much cheaper if I used flash cards, books, CD's, etc. Again the time work requires is tending to be a big obstacle for me to overcome.
Having a job has made me more effective with managing my time, since I have far less to work with. It has also made me more impatient and I need to keep that in check. I figure I'll adjust eventually.
