Comment on T Wayne Hunsaker's post: Look at the companies hiring your students and see if they have feedback.  Also, for a final evaluation, I'd have someone who has been in the industry try the exam.  Someone who is a poor performer at work should at least pass the test.

Yes, taking time to excercise is very important.  It almost feels like an addiction if I miss a run.  Even better, it's good to haave a partner who helps you keep motivated.  My boy Miller keep us motivated, and he's a food nut, so I think I'll become more open to trying healthier food options. I usually stick to the same food routine, but opening my pallet to different, healthier foods is a welcome change.
