Fear is a great motivator!

Nearly everyone who reads this blog knows I got into Eller College and am officially an Accounting Major. Now the hard classes begin! I'm hoping to get started this summer so I won't have to take five classes in the Fall semester (this old brain can't juggle that many at once!), but first I have to attend the Accounting Orientation session next week. I'm curious how many other Accounting majors there are.

Oh, the fear part? Since I am now a Business junior, I get to enroll in classes that are restricted to students in the business college. Meaning the upper division accounting stuff, of course, but also one called PE 219, aka, GOLF! Yup they have a 1-credit course called Golf, and I'm enrolled for the Summer Presession. There are only 16 spots available so I was lucky to get in. It meets an hour and forty minutes every day for three weeks.

Golf starts on May 18 so I have only 58 days to get into golf shape. I'm afraid I've let my exercise and yoga routines lapse a little the last year or so. Other than walking to class from an outlying parking lot four times a week, and riding bikes some weekends, I haven't done much else in the way of exercise. Now I'm motivated, and then some!

I don't expect to keep up with the young-uns, but I just don't want to hold them back due to being out of shape. So I'm walking and/or doing the treadmill half an hour a day (will gradually increase that), doing yoga to get my muscles and joints stretched, and will probably add some weights for upper body strength as the time gets closer.

From what I've read in a few articles on the internet, the class takes all comers, even those with no prior experience. I've played a little with my hubby over the years, but consider myself a newby since I can't even hit a drive consistently. So hopefully I'll learn how to swing and a few other things about the game. Look out Lorena Ochoa!! ;-)
