This and That.....

1. Since my last post, I've finished an entire grad school class. I have to say, while marathon class sessions are a bit hard to deal with, I'm digging this 4-weeks-for-a-class-and-volia!-you-have-3-more-credits thing. I wish I could do all of my classes in 4 week sessions.

2. Ben Roethlisberger is an idiot. Seriously, don't try to convince me otherwise; you'll be wasting your time. I was willing to give his intelligence the benefit of the doubt until I learned he doesn't even have a motorcycle license. Dumbass.

3. I really need to start keeping a notebook with me so I can write down things that I want to post on. Part of my problem is that when I actually have the time to pound something out, I can't remember anything that's worth writing. Like right now.

4. I love this website. I only wish it was updated more frequently so I might be able to waste even more time reading it.

5. Finally, after years of being a slug of a human being, I joined a gym. It really is ridiculous how long I've allowed myself to be as out of shape as I am. I'm almost embarrassed to admit I actually ran a marathon because people who run marathons don't just stop working out altogether when they cross the finish line-- Apparently, I am the exception because that's pretty much exactly what happened. I finished the race, and have barely bothered to give a second thought to running or working out. It's like the 6 months I spent training used up my entire energy reserve and I've needed 4 frickin' years to build it back up.

I think I will ease myself back into the whole working out thing. In college, I used to think that if I missed even one day I'd somehow failed. This time, I think I'll be pretty happy if I can manage 3 times/week, and that's more because of a time thing rather than a motivation thing. Ok, it's partly motivation because if I were willing to drag myself out of bed every morning at 5:30 am, but I choose not to subject myself to that torture, at least not on a regular basis. There is a very good possibility, however, that my impending wedding will be more than enough motivation to get into a regular routine.

That's all for now, kids! Summer's here! Go outside!
