Changes.
I knew this year would be different. And it's only January and changes are coming quickly. I'm officially no longer just a teacher anymore, but am once again a student. I started grad school last week and after feeling overwhelmed on day one, I'm feeling more comfortable and hopeful for the rest of this program. I'm already learning more than I thought I would, and although there's a fair amount of reading and busy work, I'm happy with everything so far. Come next August, I'll be done!
I thought school was getting a lot less busy, but then with grad school and a fundraiser and all sorts coming up, things started to pick up. As much as that exhausts me sometimes, I'm actually enjoying it now. I can stay after work a couple hours then meet Kurtis at the gym then dinner. It's a nice system we've started.
I started a goal a few weeks ago and will officially start training on Valentine's day (the day I proclaim my true love for running) for my first half marathon. I've already done the first two weeks, I'm moving on to three, but I'll start over on Valentine's day so it fits perfectly with the date of the marathon. Even though it's a daunting task, after 4 miles literally flying by yesterday, I can already feel how ready I'll be May 8th.
I wish there were more eventful things to post, but quite frankly, my life is a little predictable right now. Get up, have a two hour delay, watch the Today show, work, work, workout, eat, sleep. I wouldn't trade it for the world though :)
