sj and i ran in a 5K race yesterday. it was part of the st. patrick's day parade festivities in scranton. running like that felt really good, especially with all those drunk people cheering us on. i haven't run in an actual race like that since maybe eighth grade. i had forgotten how exciting it could be. yesterday was a beautiful day for a run, too. it was warm and sunny. i ended up getting a little sun-burned (of course). my thighs hurt today, and i like that feeling. i definitely want to do something like this again....i'd like to try and finish a little faster next time, though.
i tried to get new glasses yesterday too, but that just turned into a big disappontment. apparently, my vision is too crappy for me to actually get glasses that i like. i did get a haircut though, so that made up for it a little.
last week i started going to training sessions to become an adult literacy/ESL tutor. it's been really interesting so far. there's a pretty diverse group of people attending the sessions. there's a chemistry professor from romania, and a man whose father was an ESL teacher, so he's lived all over the world. i also met a girl who graduated from lehigh with a degree in spanish, and she actually went to seville with the same group that i did, but in 1998. i'm really excited to meet some of the people we'll be working with. we're having a hands-on training session with them on wednesday, so i'm looking forward to that.
oh yea, i also wanted to mention this. i met my parent's real estate agent this weekend, and she thought i was 15 years old. she was only off by about 7 years. i don't think i look THAT young. maybe if i start really whoring it out with the make-up, i can pass for an adult?
