3.02.11

Kind of sad when my "reward" for finishing one of my two midterm essays is a shower break :(

Lack of sleep is starting to catch up to me - just wrote the following sentence in essay #2:

"Urbanization essentially meant a mass migration of peoples to cities because of job opportunities, environment, etc. Usually by around 3 pm, I have to fight"

I either need more sleep or I need to get out more because:

1. I dozed off while waiting for my email to load last night around midnight (which is not late at all in college terms!)

2. I dreamt that I was doing laundry. And not even the exciting part of cleaning the lint out of the lint trap, but of loading my clothes into the washing machine. I can't decide whether or not this "laundry dream" is more lame than my "sending emails" dream a few months ago.

Half marathon went well! The first 8 miles were awesome - I felt really good and was running at a pretty fast pace and passing lots of people. Then I got to the Great Highway part and it was all downhill from there (not literally, unfortunately). Those were the longest 5 miles of my life, and the fact that it was a flat paved straight-away down the highway and then back on the same road did not help. My feet were burning and I kept thinking the next mile marker would be coming up soon but it just dragged on and on.

BUT, I finished and I'm really thankful for making it to the end! 2 hou

rs, 6 minutes. If I ever do a half marathon again, I want to try for under 2 hours.

Last weekend I went to Davis for Janelle's 21st birthday!

Saw the Social Network with Minnie and Joanna at a Haas event with free food. Really good movie and cute actors!

Running my first half marathon tomorrow morning!

1.22.11

Whoops, it's been awhile!

I officially finished reading the Harry Potter series this morning. My winter break goal was to read all seven books before watching the seventh movie, and I finished (though technically I had to bring the last book with me to Berkeley to finish up)! Now I just need to see if there's anyone left who hasn't seen the last movie yet to come with me to the one theater that is still showing it. Anyone? Anyone?

I cut my finger today while cleaning a rusty metal thing and started freaking out because there's still some black / dirty stuff in the cut. Hopefully no infection!

Went to core blast this morning and realized how weak my abs have gotten (actually, how they've always been). Going on a hopefully long run later today - gotta prepare for the half marathon in 2 weeks!
