There have been so many things (as usual) that I have wanted to write about, I just haven't had the time. And I've been running around like a crazy person. It's been difficult to settle back into this semester and my very precarious balancing act of school, work, cycling, boyfriend, and now friends (yay), not to mention the occasional babysitting job. These past few weeks have been very social and I've been making exceptions to many usual rules so that I oculd get to know my new classmates and it's been going well. The boyfriend thing is easy to deal with since he's not around very much, and the cycling thing wasn't a big factor lately because of bad weather for mountain biking and my inability to get back into the swing of things. I've been riding about half as much as the summer. It's hard to motivate myself to train hard again because riding without aching and tired legs is so much more fun than with them. I have been watching what I eat but not as closely. That has just happened because I liteally haven't had the time to fill out my food journal. Much less input it all online.
The weekends have been packed with fun. Last Friday I enjoyed an evening of dinner and movie watching with my new friends. Saturday was Tailgating and the game. Sunday some time with my favorite kids then some time with my favorite show (4 Gilmore Girls episodes) and my new girl friends. Monday was shopping and bbq time.
This weekend will be another crazy one. Friday I have tickets with 7 of the new girls to watch Beauty and the Beast at the Fox. We have class til 6pm on Fridays (sometimes 630) so it'll be a challenge to get dinner and get there on time (and we will, because tickets weren't cheap!) Saturday I have to be in 3 places at once: the GT Cycling hosted mountain bike race, the ASDL picnic and the GT-Samford football game. Right now I've committed to the mtn race, which will eat up 6am-6pm of both days, but I'm considering bailing due to extenuating circumstances. Ideally I'd like to be at all places... why is cloning a bad thing?
Hopefully I will get to sit at some point and share my thoughts on:
- Hillary's book ( I finally finished!!)
- The GT-Notre Dame Game/Stupid Tech boys
- Summer of Speed: Mission Accomplished?
- To PhD or not to PhD... that was the question (or perhaps still is)
- Renewed motivation and the high quality higher education I'm getting... NOT
