5k
Today I ran 5k! I was going to enter a race but they wouldn't allow strollers. I did it at the gym and it still feels great!

March
Checking in:
1. Lose 40 pounds- I haven't been losing much weight, but I am losing inches. Inches count more, right?
2. Get in to a PhD program--Success! I'll be headed to Old Dominion in the fall. They already plan to use me as a teaching slave.
3. Read 12 books--Book 4 is Emma. I'm 15% of the way through Mama PhD. I gave up on Portrait of a Lady but ( Read more... ) -
Spring
I love Spring. My mood is definitely tied to the seasons and when it starts getting warm my positivity returns. The first few weeks of March are hard. Winter is just too long and our tendency to act like the winter starts at Thanksgiving instead of right before Christmas just makes it feel longer. I've been lucky this year, we had a few warm days ( Read more... ) -
Updates
So, I'm keeping with the goals. I might be the only person working on New Year's Resolutions still, but that's fine.
1. Lose 40 pounds- I have lost 6 pounds. Yeah. I got a ways to go. Dieting alone isn't working, so it's back ot exercising.
2. Get in to a PhD program--All my applications are in. I've gotten two rejection letters.
3. Read 12 books ( Read more... ) -
Update
Two rejection letters so far. Three are still out and no call backs about job offers.

It Starts
As friends are getting rejection letters already I know I should be grateful that none have come my way yet, that I'm still in the running everywhere I've applied (or at least that said departments have slow administrators). Instead I'm checking the status of my applications every two days hoping for something other than "received; paid" to show ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I'm trying to put off working until 10:00. I used to have a hard time with procrastination. Now I have a hard time with taking it easy. Gavin took care of DT and I went and saw The Town. It was good, but it isn't going to win the one Oscar it's up for.
This week was busy. I had a ton to do, a ton to keep up with and I had to tell my boss, yet ( Read more... ) -
Goals
I know these posts are boring to anyone but me, but I need accountability. I may even crave it!
So, here's a check in 1/12 the way through (almost):
1. Lose 40 pounds--I have lost four pounds, which puts me right on track. Weight Watchers+Kinect+10 min workout videos while I have Dorian. It's been tough, but I'm determined!
2. Get in to a PhD ( Read more... ) -
Purpose Statement
I'm writing my last purpose statement for my last application in my last attempt to get into a PhD program. This is it and it's a bigg'n. 1500 words about myself and my aspirations is a lot. I'm at 1414 right now and can't seem to find 86 more words. So, while I think about it I figured I'd write out the purpose statement I'd write in a world ( Read more... )
