Bitch, I'm Broke

With about two weeks left in the first session of summer school, I am very close to making an 'A' in both exercise physiology and chemistry (big ups to F. Fakhreddine, the greatest college professor ever. I think I actually like chemistry now because of her).

• Plans to venture to NYC in October for IDEA's Personal Trainer's Summit have been shelved indefinitely due to my lack of funds, which means that I will have to settle on going to a cheaper, less-exciting yet (hopefully) equally educational seminar in Dallas next month.
• I have been hitting the weights pretty hard this summer -- so far I've gained close to 15 lbs of muscle. I'll be seeing my family for the first time since May this weekend, I wonder if they will notice? Still not satisfied with upper body gains, though, so alternating hypertrophy/strength workouts will continue as planned.
• Still not sure as to when I will "go pro" as a trainer. My bank account keeps telling me that I should go ahead and take the plunge and enter the world of fitness, but a tiny voice in the back of my head keeps saying that my time has yet to come.
