Better By Nightfall

I know it's been a short while since I've posted on here, and while my usual excuse is that I'm busy I can't say that this time. Instead, my life has just been somewhat uneventful with a few exceptions (like the crazy parties of the last two weekends!).

I've started training for a 5K run in May for the 8th Annual Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure. I started going to the gym yesterday and, for once, it didn't kick my ass. In fact, I went there and did the recommended workout as provided by my "revised" 9-week workout guide and felt really good after I got done (I've started at the second week and will probably jump to the fourth week after this weekend). Then again, I was only jogging and walking for 25 minutes. I'm anxious to run the 5K, but I'm looking forward to it too. Last year I wanted to, but I was so out of shape that I only ran the 1 mile run.

Spring break is coming round the corner with some fun items in its wake, namely my environmental history research paper. You know what that means, right? I'll be at the library for most of break. Some students get to enjoy their break at the beach with copious amounts of alcohol while I get to drown my sorrows in page after page of texts, webpages, and articles. It could be worse, though. Then again, I don't know what could be worse given the circumstances? Maybe having some disease?

So, that's where I've been in case any of you are actually wondering. Trying to survive the hurricane that my courses have thrown at me, knowing that I'll pick up the remaining pieces on the shore afterwards. (Yeah, I've been listening to SoCo a bit too much lately. Though, I recommend everyone listen to Aloha, The Album Leaf, and Lola Ray. Excellent music!)
