it's silly

I don't even really know what to post about. But I wanted to, so here I am.

I should be sleeping, since I have to work concessions tomorrow for the football game. We'll see how that goes... I'm supposed to have 7 other people working with me, and so far I have myself, and one of my friends. I guess I'm just not that convincing. Oooh, and we're supposed to do a tempo run tomorrow too, something like 5 miles at 80% race pace. Bleh.

I miss my family.

But this year is definitely going well so far. I like my classes, cross country is amazing, and I'm getting started on this whole making-meaningful-relationships thing. I think I've found someone who truly likes and cares about me... and I like him a lot too :) Life is good.

Oh, so anyway. I went shopping again and bought a new pair of jeans, a couple sweaters, and a tank. Winter is on its way... at least, it's felt that way the last week here. I hate this rainy, chilled-to-the-bone-soaked weather. Bring on a couple more weeks of 70s, please, God? Then all will be good, until January, when nothing can make -40 feel anything less than it is.

Good night, world, I'll catch up with you in the morning :)

i hate sundays in grand forks

Seriously, there is not a single thing open before noon in this place. The city leaders of the area can rest in the comfort of knowing that all the good girls and boys of UND are encouraged to go to church with this legislation, but in the meantime, my stomach is eating itself.

I guess things could be worse, though.

I realized that I've tripped over the same crack in the sidewalk on all of my walks/runs over to Bek Fitness. Right in front of Univ. Ave. I'm cool.

Today I'm actually going to get down to some serious studying. It's going to be awesome.

What I'm hoping for this week:
Good workouts and the ability to perform my best... and maybe getting to go along to the Griak?
No more twisted ankles. It still kind of hurts from last week.
Getting to know myself and my friends better each day.
Being able to understand what's going on in my Neuro class.
Being able to stay awake through the meaningless crap of Genetics (well, at least that's what it seems like so far).
Having the opportunity to just sit down and read for fun sometime.

The hunger pains are getting to me. I better stop writing, otherwise you might get the idea that I'm pissed off all the time. It's just the (lack of) food speaking; I'm actually in a really good mood besides that. More later :)

Life has been good.

Apart from the fact that I accidentally erased all the music from my iPod when I connected it with the new laptop... and the fact that I can't get my old comp to stay alive for long enough to download my music library back onto the iPod. Damn technology. I should have never let myself grow dependent on it.

Oh, but it's such a good addiction.

More updates later. Breakfast now.

more than just whelmed

Gross, I just sneezed on myself. I'm probably getting sick. It's not a surprise. Sharing food at dinner, working out like crazy, running under the heat of the midday sun, not drinking enough water, eating loads of crappy food all day long as I try to appease this hunger... at least I'm getting enough sleep.

Mmm, hunger. It's such a good word to describe everything that's been going on. What am I missing in my life? God? Satisfaction? My family? Maybe all that. But I feel like I've been trying to fill that empty space with a whole lot of stuff that I'm maybe not intending to.

I want to be on the team. I want to practice, run, have fun with the team, all that stuff. Do I want to compete, though? Am I ready for the sacrifices I'll have to take to be up there with the rest of the team?

I went shopping again, like I did last week... it's expensive being single. You actually have to worry about what you look like ;) Not that I really do much about it anyway. But, yes, it was fun spending about $100 on new running clothes (more than I can say about the $91 I spent on a USED Lin Alg textbook).

The new laptop is fantastic. I can probably even sleep while it's still on and running. And it's shiny :)

Well, that's enough of an update for now. Keep your head on your shoulders, and try looking for mine if you get the chance.
