1. At the end of this week, I'm off to South Bend, Indiana to present my paper at Notre Dame! I'll be there for just over 24 hours before jetting off to DC for the Cherry Blossom 10-miler. Love.
2. I didn't get any sleep last night at all. Between my roommate and her friend coming home at 1:30 in the morning and the garbage truck coming at 4:30, I didn't sleep at all. As a result, I'm feeling sick and left work early today. Don't Love.
3. Baseball season starts in 4 days. Love.
4. I spent the entire weekend doing a very thorough spring cleaning. I left my house yesterday for about 4 hours and when I came home, I think the place was in worst shape than it was before I cleaned. Don't Love.
5. My pilot is coming to visit next weekend! Love.
6. I think I'm going to quit my running club. What started as a polite e-mail request on the list serve to keep e-mails limited to running related topics and refrain from using 'Reply All' resulting in e-mail strains 50 messages long, has turned into an all out e-mail war that has demonstrated a total lack of respect on the part of a few select members to the rest of the club. Incredibly nasty things have been sent targeting certain individuals and all of this has been done using 'Reply All.' Running is supposed to be a community and a camaraderie and I'm not comfortable being part of a group that allows such blatant disregards for respecting others. Don't Love.
7. I started the Nike Training Club last night at the recommendation of everybody's favorite Redhead. It's a killer workout but I love it already. Love.
8. I went to the eye doctor today and apparently have something that she labeled as 'Moderate' to 'Severe' going on with my vision. As a result I'm banned from contacts for at minimum two weeks and on a pretty rigorous eye drop, eye gel, eye other stuff regiment for the next few days. Luckily, Eye Doc was nice enough to give me a pair of contacts to use for the duration of Sunday's race as long as I promised to take them out as soon as the race was over. But I really don't like it when doctors use the term 'severe.' Don't Love.
9. I went to an awesome workshop at school on Friday about writing my thesis. While everyone was moaning and groaning when our Academic Chair described the thesis writing process as 'similar to going to the gym or going for a run,' I got immensely excited and am super excited to start this research process. 60+ page paper, here I come! Love.
10. It was 27 degrees when I woke up this morning. Winter has officially come back. Don't Love.
11. I started a Travel Page here on the blog called Passport. Check it out and let me know what you think! Suggestions are always welcome! Love.
It's been a tough Monday but hey, there's always tomorrow.
Hope everyone is having a good start to this week!
