Counting down
So, I can't believe how close it's getting to moving day. I dont think I've given a lot of thought to the mechanics of moving down...I just bought an inflatable mattress (I splurged and bought a queen size), which will be my bed for a while in Austin. I meant to blow it up and sleep on it last night, but I forgot to do so. I guess I'll have to try it out this weekend to make sure I can stand it. If not, I'll have to come up with some other plan. Maybe I'll just sleep on those egg crate things. I could stack a few up, and that may be bearable. There's always the option of just strapping my mattress to the top of Liz's car, but I'm not sure how much she'll like that idea. (Yes, I'm too cheap to pay for a U-Haul, especially considering I'm not really moving tons of stuff up).
I'm trying to log in all my time over the next week in an attempt to manage my time better. We'll see how well that works. I've been going to the gym more, which is good, since I feel like I've gained a lot of weight in the past two/three months. I probably really haven't, but I've just felt sort of fat and unattractive lately.
My stats class ends on Monday. I'm doing okay in the class. I have an A, but I still feel like I coasted and didn't get everything out of it that I could have. I mean, I did put some effort into it, because it's school-related, and I do care about grades and things like that. I always have, except for when I was at UNO, but it's hard for me to explain that time in my life. But I really wanted this stats class to be sort of a test for grad school...I wanted to prove to myself that I could really stay on top of things, and I didn't really. I let myself get somewhat behind, though I guess it will turn out alright in the end. It's just that I'd really like to have my shit together and do phenomenally well, which I know that I can do if I would only learn better time management skills. So, acquiring these once and for all is truly a priority for me.
I've picked a 5K in Austin to run later this year. I think that it'll be easier for me to commit to jogging on a regular basis if I have a concrete goal to work towards:

So yeah, I guess that's all for now.
