i am a TOTAL hack.
no, seriously: remember the race i ran in last year? i did it again today, after not having run for over three weeks, and not having entirely seriously made an effort to run over the summer, and i clocked in eight seconds slower than i did last year. i still ran the whole thing, which was my main goal, and my friend kim was kind enough to throw water on me at mile 3.5. can you imagine what i could do if i honestly tried? i swear... :)
pictures may be coming soon, if i decide they're not shameful enough to post here. i AM wearing pink in them, after all.
also, i got an email late yesterday afternoon telling me that i've somehow received an additional $700 in fellowship funds. i don't know what i did, but okay? and thanks?!
perhaps this is karma swinging a few things in my direction. i was thankful enough to survive my first week of grad school/teaching; this is just icing on the cake. i think i'm going to have a few drinks tonight in celebration!
