Waldgeist Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 June Challenge : Team Cap needs reinforcement A Civil War has turned everything upside down. It is a time full of upheavals and changes. The heroes of our world have left their old paths to remain the protectors we need.... My personal life is also on the edge of changing. This change has been looming for several months now, but has been sped up by recent events. Long story short, I decided to go back to college to get the qualifications I need to work in a job I like instead of doing things that stress me out and don't interest me. The idea has been in my head for about a year now and I decided a couple of months ago to apply for fall semester. Which also means moving to another town, finding a place to live there and a job. Since my parents decided to seperate last month and sell the house, that means I also have to take the stuff I've stored there over the years back, which means a lot of sorting out and giving up stuff, too. It also means, I don't know exactly when I'll have to move, which means my quest need to be movable as well (which is the main reason, that I won't continue with my ring training). QUEST 1 - Strength Kettlebell+Bodyweight workouts, this month I'll be doing Density training. Three times a week or every second day would be great. QUEST 2 - Kettlebells Still on my Swings goal, soon will be half time! QUEST 3 - Muscular Endurance Various Kettlebell+Bodyweight workouts, usually for time. QUEST 4 - Nutrition No sweets, no snacks, no seconds, occasionally IF. QUEST 5 - Life Change This entails: sending out applications for school, looking for/securing a place to live, and a job as well als preparing to move. 7 Quote the artist usually known as WALDGEIST Epic Quests Challenges by theme Star Wars: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #5B, #6, #6B, #10, #11, #16, #17, (Current Callenge) TeenWolf: #7 SHIELD: #8, #12, #13, #14, #15 Magicians: #9 "It's never too late, to become what you could've been!"

I want to do a programm called "Physical Activity and Health", it's mainly Exercise Science and how exercise (as well as nutrition and lifestyle) can be used to prevent and treat disease, but classes in science/biology, nutrition, medicine, psychology/education, health science are also part of the curriculum. If I can't get in there, I've got two backup programmes: "Biomedical Science", which is more generally about human health with specializations like immunology, cancer biology or neurobiology (it is also more research oriented and less directly applicable than my first choice) and high school teaching licensure programme (subjects would be biology and English as a foreign language for sure and maybe a third). 2 Quote the artist usually known as WALDGEIST Epic Quests Challenges by theme Star Wars: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #5B, #6, #6B, #10, #11, #16, #17, (Current Callenge) TeenWolf: #7 SHIELD: #8, #12, #13, #14, #15 Magicians: #9 "It's never too late, to become what you could've been!"

Waldgeist Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Week 0 Recap Quest 1 - Strength: Two sessions doing KB Military Presses, Ring Rows, KB Rows, KB Step Ups, KB Cleans, KB Squats and KB Deadlifts Quest 2 - Kettlebells: no swinging unfortunately Quest 3 - Muscular Endurance: also nothing Quest 4 - Nutrition: There are not much sweets around at the moment, which is good, but otherwise not a good week Ques 5 - Life Change: I finished two of my three back up applications, just need to print them and send them away. Also inspected my parents caravan, in which I could live very cheaply, and it is definitly suitable for me. 5 Quote the artist usually known as WALDGEIST Epic Quests Challenges by theme Star Wars: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #5B, #6, #6B, #10, #11, #16, #17, (Current Callenge) TeenWolf: #7 SHIELD: #8, #12, #13, #14, #15 Magicians: #9 "It's never too late, to become what you could've been!"

TheFatFriar Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Looks like a stressful time for you... I always hated the moving in-moving out part of the college. I guess I should've lived in a caravan instead of moving from one dorm room to another Seriously, though, living in a van sounds awesome! 2 Quote Link to comment
Waldgeist Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Our internet pipes were clogged these last few days (figuratively speaking). Therefore no updates here or other fun stuff. On the plus side, I was reading a lot of books. Week 1 recap coming up later today, although there is not much to recap.... 2 Quote the artist usually known as WALDGEIST Epic Quests Challenges by theme Star Wars: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #5B, #6, #6B, #10, #11, #16, #17, (Current Callenge) TeenWolf: #7 SHIELD: #8, #12, #13, #14, #15 Magicians: #9 "It's never too late, to become what you could've been!"
