This week I have been feeling the assignment stress as there are a lot of things going on at the moment. I have slowly been trying to collect and organize all my assignments and due dates so that I have everything in order when the dates start creeping up on me. Of course to conquer this stress I hit the gym everyday this week! This week was a really good one for me, I had lots of energy and my lifts were consistent. I have started a powerlifting program that focuses on progressive overload so I have been going with that for a while now and I have seen some major progress already! I am super proud of myself because I am beginning to be able to rep weight I never thought I could. I am definitely most excited about my bench progress this week. I was able to bench my usual heavy day weight by myself without a spotter!! May not seem like a very big deal but as you can tell I was pretty darn excited about it at the time 🙂

I have little to no experience using different forms of technology besides my phone and laptop for basic actions. I am hoping to use this class for gaining some experience and self confidence when using technology in my classroom in the future. I would also like to gain knowledge on resources and websites that will be useful in my classroom and will help aid me in teaching to the future generation which will most likely be very technology driven, more than we are now already.
Hello! My name is Emily Ashton and I am a second year UVic Student studying Elementary Education.
As you know school can be pretty chaotic and stressful sometimes… so that’s why i’ve chosen to create this blog about my after class activities and the things I do to distress after a long busy day of online schooling!
I absolutely adore the gym so be prepared for lots of bodybuilding content as that is one of the biggest ways I am coping during this pandemic! Other than the gym I am a pretty energetic person who loves to do all sorts of things! Some of my other hobbies include: mountain biking, hanging out with friends, baking, and going on adventures!
I look forward to sharing this unique experience with you and I look forward to documenting all the good that happens during this semester 🙂

For my free inquiry, I have chosen to focus on the ways in which I de stress from busy days at school.
2 major ways in which I de stress from school days are going to the gym and mountain biking. I have been going to the gym for 3 years and am extremely dedicated to body building and powerlifting. This started out as a hobby when I stopped competitively swimming and has now turned into one of my biggest passions and tools I use to stay focused and less stressed during these crazy times. The gym has been a huge outlet for me especially this year during a pandemic, I find myself much more stressed with online learning and all that is going on. Mountain biking is another outlet I use often that allows me to blow off some steam in an active and healthy way.
During this inquiry I am looking forward to documenting my progress and working on staying focused and less stressed throughout the semester 🙂
