Day 08

There's a good chance you think getting back in shape would be harder than I make it sound. I don't know if you know this or not, but I took Jogging II (and that is a very hard "j"for all you Will Ferrel fans out there) this semester. Skipped right over level I. I mean, I'm clearly a pretty big deal in the running world.

I really appreciate all the comments from everyone. I realize more people read this than comment, but my family kind of keeps me working at this. Does anyone know where Susan is? Did she get a link? I know some of my friends would love to seee her on the blog.

Tonight I'm a little sore, either from lifting or lack of stretching. It was just one of those days. Other than that, the run was fine. I've liked running outside these past couple of days, buts I always get a little scared in unfamiliar territory when it's dark outside. There are some creepy people in IC, thats for sure.

I went to an interview tonight for a media relations position on the staff of 10,000 hours. 10,000 hours is a program that holds a concert for people who volunteer a minimum of 10 hours. This year the concert was Cake, and it was in Des Moines, so it wasn't as big of a deal on campus. Before that, Guster and Ben Folds performed in the IMU. I haven't been involved with, but figured I'd interview because the experience will be good in the PR department and it can't hurt the resume. In any case, I have to write up a sample news release about this band I've never heard before so they can see my work.

I had to do a load of laundry so I would have some clean clothes for this interview. I usually hold off as long as possible - 3 or 4 weeks - and just do 6 or 7 loads at a time. Believe me, it's not like I have that many clothes, I just wear dirty stuff all the time. Plus, wearing t-shirts two or three times is a little bit grosser when you sweat in them. I only did one load, and will finish up Tuesday or Wednesday after finals. In case you wanted my laundry schedule or something

Other than that, I've just got to keep studying. My RA said she doesn't really enforce the rule that states dorm residents must check out 24 hours after their last final, but that it is very busy on Friday and Saturday. My last final is Tuesday, but I work on Saturday. It'll be nice to have a couple days to get organized and just relax.

I'm here. I don't know anything about running. I suck at working out. I always end up leaving because I'm so hungry I can't focus. Keep up the good work. Maybe I'll get motivated. The fact that I can't fit into any of the pants I bought last year should be motivation enough, but no. Oh Well. Keep at it. Maybe since my bf is going to be mia for the next week I'll be able to spend more time working out....

Got in 15+ pretty hard ones after lunch on the circuit around DCC. Blustery WNW wind that made riding North and West a treat.

Good luck with finals!
