Dreams
I think it's getting longer and longer between posts.
I blame Tumblr. I spent pretty much all of Thanksgiving being either absurdly busy with home stuff (and absolutely NO school associated things, which was awesome and something my brain really needed) or browsing Tumblr's "fitspo" tag and various "fitblrs". And it got me a bit inspired. Yes. I'm lame.
We had an Ultimate game last night that we completely shut out (18 to 2) and afterwards I ran/walked about 3 miles around the campus track. I'm pretty sure my time was around 10 minutes a mile. The funny thing was that I would be walking with the intention of completely catching my breath in order to do a really long stretch of running but then a really good song would come on and I would have to run (usually without pacing myself). It just felt so good. And I really didn't want to stop. I feel like I could have stretched this out for another few miles. This energy was partly due to the elation of winning, of performing really well on the field, and the fact that my team were all really happy and in high spirits. I'm glad I didn't go straight home because I doubt I would have been able to relax.
Anyway, that energy came with a price and I felt really tired this morning, but not tired enough to prevent me from going running later tonight. I got home from school and took a three hour nap. It was during this nap that I had one of the most realistic dreams I'd ever had (so realistic I was completely surprised when I woke up).
In it, a guy on my team (not THE guy, by the way) came out and said he liked me and then, rather suddenly, we were "involved". There was much cuddling and even more feelings of absolute adoration for him. There were other events transpiring and it was overall a very fun and pleasant dream.
And it kind of...made me wish I had someone like that in my life.
But enough of this sappiness.
I still have a complete void in my life where a TV-show-de-jour used to be, but I've started to fill that hole by re-delving into Butcher's series. I had started Ghost Story a while back, but never finished it. I had to back up about 100 pages from where I left off to reacquaint myself with the plot, but I like it much better this time around (desperation makes me less picky, it appears). It's a fun book with good pacing and an interesting character and it has its flaws, but at least it's interesting. I think what really spurred me onto this was that there's a new addition to the series that's recently come out.
So I spent today reading when I should have been studying. Like this is new.
Oh, and as a recap to the last exam: it was a shit-show. Not because I didn't study my ass off, but because the questions were nowhere near reflective of the stuff we were told to study and, at one point there was a question over what we were explicitly told SEVERAL TIMES we didn't need to study. There was also an "except" question, which we were promised would never happen. The increasingly absurdly written exams plus the fact the material we're learning doesn't correspond well to what the UWorld questions (and thus STEP 1) questions cover, I'm almost completely stress free. I'm going to do my best and study, but for my own future interests, not for the exams.
