Ah...sweat.
So I just finished running about a mile and walking probably another mile. They haven't structured anything for our activity time so decided I wanted to do something active. Well, I figured running would be cool. So I was torn between whether or not I really wanted to and one of our TAs, Sarah, asked me what I was up to. I told her I was thinking of running but didn't know where to run to. She offered to run with me to the track. So we jogged from here to the Stanford track, then I ran two laps around the track, walked a lap, ran a lap, walked a lap, and walked back here.
Urg...tired. Very tired. And hot and sticky too. But at the same time it feels good to have done something. My legs are going to kill me tomorrow and I'll have problems walking to class...but that's for tomorrow. Today, I feel good about myself.
I also really enjoyed class today. Since I didn't get to share yesterday, I volunteered first today and so the group workshopped my three opening paragraphs. It was really interesting to hear what they had to say about what I'd written; for some reason I wasn't as afraid of the criticism as others were. I think it's because I'm really here to improve myself, and I don't mind the criticism if I end up with a better story.
I'm torn between two different stories which I want to write. I think I'll end up writing the one that's more my style, because I feel like I can make that one longer, but I'm definitely going to write the second one, too.
Well, I've got a few things to do before dinner at six, so I'm gonna go. Hope you're all having great summers.
