Exercise-induced insomnia...

I pretty much took the week of Spring Break off after straining a muscle in my foot after impromptu hiking in Arkansas. It's amazing what 6-ish days of not working out will do to you. I was dying after only 5 miles on rollerblades Sunday and could barely do 1 lap around campus (though I did beat my best mile time by a second). Then, yesterday we had a game against the first years that I didn't play much in (we had 5 girls and only two went on the field at a time), but I felt like I was really pushing. However, I subbed in for a team in the next game and got to play the whole time, and, I think that has put me back in my status quo because I was pretty much running the entire time. Then, for the heck of it, I walk/jogged two miles.

Needless to say, that's the most exertion I've put my body through in ages, so it's getting me back now.

It might also have something to do with me being back at school. There's a huge discepency between how I sleep at my apartment and at home: I sleep so profoundly well and deeply at home for some reason and making that transition back to my apartment is usually annoying. Like now, for instance, I woke up at 1:30 and it's almost 3am and my eyes are grainy by my brain is way too active for sleep.

And I like sleep. It's one of my favorite activities. So this is almost torture...

Oh, over the break I corrupted converted my brother to Supernatural. I think it grew on him, though I make the worse TV-tour guide ever. In my effort to get him to like it, I hit all the fantastic episodes (and it's probably not a coincidence that each of them had Castiel) so we watched most of season 5 in no particular order, then bounced around 6 and 7. I was amazed he stayed as interested as he did considering he probably had no idea what was going on half the time. Then again, that's usually how I like to watch TV shows, so it probably runs in the family. Anyway, it felt really good to pseudo-marathon with the brother again. It was almost like old times...
