Need a writing break

Apr 16, 2008 09:53

I have to finish this paper today, as soon as possible, but I need a few minutes to relax.

I've been meaning to email / write / call so many people and I'm not quite succeeding. I feel that every time I start something, something more pressing takes over. And when it's all done, I haven't done nearly as much as I would like. For example, last weekend my dad called. I was already on the phone, but I will answer when I see the caller ID. I can't be sure that it's a phone call for just a chat or something more serious. I talked to him for a few minutes. By the time I was done, it was already 3 pm. Yikes. Anyway, I have so much to do and not enough time right now.

I'm taking the GREs on Monday. I haven't taken a full practice exam yet, but that is the plan for tonight. I keep hearing that I don't really need to study, but I couldn't walk into that exam completely unprepared. I would stress out too much.

Andrew and I are on week 3 of the couch to 5k running program. We jumped from 90 second runs to running for 3 minutes. Whew, that was a big jump! But, I'm hanging in there. 2 Saturdays ago, we decided to run outside. We started off with the week 2 workout (90 seconds running, 2 minutes walking) but the wind, sun, and hills nearly did me in. Once we were at the flat area, we started over with the week 1 workout (run 60 seconds, walk 90 seconds). Last Saturday, we did the week 2 work out outside and it went pretty well. Ran by a wedding in the pavilion twice :-p I have the check the weather to see if we can run on Saturday, or if we should keep it indoors on Friday.

Hmm, I'm completely enthralled by the NHL playoffs right now. I've been watching almost every Flyers-Caps and Devils-Rangers game. I'm much too emotionally invested right now - screaming and yelling at the tv at times. Both series are fantastic.

I'll write more later. My 8 minutes are up. Back to the paper!
