- My race is in 5 days...Holy Crap! 5 DAYS!
- I ran 7 miles the other night in 1:26:47. I only stopped at stop lights and didn't walk at all. If my race could be like this, I would be a happy girl.
- I think I'm going to love fall running.
- School starts back up again on Wednesday. I'm pretty sure I'm already behind. They should have never given me a 2 1/2 week break because all I did was hone my lazy skills.
- It's getting darker earlier...I hate that.
- I REALLY need to pick a topic for my Thesis or what I shall refer to as my 682 project. The first part of it is due on Thursday. Details...
- I'm broke. Like, hard core broke. Haven't been this poor since my undergrad...maybe not even then because I had a job, le sigh.
Well, this is my last ditch effort of procrastination before I shower and start my paper that is due tomorrow. This week has kind have been the week of hell. Three papers and one presentation. It wouldn't have been so bad if I would have completed a little more homework this weekend. Instead I was chillin with my peeps at the 20's/30's retreat. Totally worth the chaos this week though not gonna lie.
With the increase work load...homework that is...I find myself putting off my runs or leaving them until last minute. I am the queen of excuses, trust me! I haven't been to the gym...since...I can't remember when! Scary, very scary! I got back from the retreat and stepped on the scale. Eek! I had gained 5lbs.! No. Thank. You. I think some of it was water weight cause I've lost a couple already but it is a nice little reminder of how easy it is to get out of the "good" habits and back into the old. The scale definitely reflected that.
I was hoping that this weekend could be used as catch up but it is getting filled quickly. Thursday night after class I am visiting my dear friend Meg to catch up on SYTYCD. Friday my mom, two aunts, and I are going wedding dress shopping with my cousin! And out to lunch of course! Saturday is a graduation party for my mom's cousin's son...whatever relationship that is to me?! But I am required to attend. So right now Sunday is looking like my day of grace. I am really hoping to fit some S-U-N in there too. I need to get organized so that next week I am not running around with my head cut off, that and I am going to V-Town for a tubing trip that weekend. So, yeah! Organization needs to become my friend stat!

That is exactly what this post is...a form of procrastination. Yup my friends. It is a Saturday night, it's only 9:00 p.m. and I'm doing homework. Wow! I. Am. Lame. In my defense, I do about a half an hours to hours worth of "working" and then I take about the same amount of time for a break. I learned this trick in one of my psychology classes, once upon a time. It is supposed to help promote memory and learning. Although, I am quite certain "breaks" were supposed only supposed to be 10 -15 minutes. I often tweak things to work better for me =)
Today I went to my lil bros baseball tournament. His team kind of played like crap but it was fun anyway. Sun + Lawn chairs + Baseball + little children = A GOOD TIME
Uncle Adam
She only stayed in her stroller for about two seconds. Where these kids get there energy...I'll never know?!
I really love this function of my camera. Team pow-wow. They were actually kicking some butt this game.
And yes, this is what I need to go back to. Doesn't that look like fun? If you are at all curious what graduate students perceive the attitudes of the factors contributing to poverty are...I'm your girl. Ok, lets be honest if you really wanna know I'll give you the number to one of my classmates because I'm flying by the seat of my pants here.
Dear Research Proposal, I do not understand you nor do I like you. We have issues. It's definitely not me...I'm pretty sure its you. I hope your buddy, Mister Qualitative Research Project, is easier. Cause that would make me a very happy person. Anyway, I will try and do my best by you. Please help a sista out. Sincerely, Drowning in Research.
Peace out world. I hope your Saturday evenings are far more exciting than mine!
XOXO,
NMO
