Spring Break

I think it has been awhile since the last time I wrote, but there is not a whole lot to report.

Jen came and visited and that was fun! She was looking for an apartment and taking in DC once again. She will be coming back out at the beginning of April to move out here. We will have lots o' fun, no doubt!

I have had a cold for awhile now and it sucks! I thought it was really bad allergies at first, but now I know it is a cold and it sure it dragging out. I am tired of blowing my nose, that is for sure.

Now I am officially on spring break. Right before, I had a test in Numerical Analysis that I don't think went very well. I was very lucky because apparently one of the four questions had the answer in the question and so he ended up throwing it out, but not until way into the test. I am lucky because I hadn't wasted any time on that question and because if he hadn't messed up that question I probably wouldn't have gotten to it anyway. I used to be really good at taking tests, but now I get all stressed out and they are pretty tough.
As for break, I don't really have any plans. I am hoping to finish some homework ahead of time because Mom and Elroy are coming to visit at the end of this week, and I don't want to have homework to do while they are here. I am sure I will find some actually fun things to do also!

The Notebook...

... is so sad!! It took me this long to see what apparently every other girl in the world has already seen. It took Netflix. But anyway, wow. Very emotional. Now my eyeballs hurt.

First Midterms Finished

I had a test in two of my classes on Thursday, marking the occasion of my first tests in graduate school. It was unfortunate that they were on the same day, one immediately after the other, but such is life I suppose. I studied like crazy and got all stressed out beforehand, but I have high hopes that I did well. One test was entirely homework problems, so that one went pretty well, I think. The other I am not as sure about, but I did average at least. I have the first test in my third class in two weeks, and then I will have a better idea of how classes are going this semester.

Needless to say, this weekend is feeling way more free than the last few have felt, having taken care of a few big burdens on my shoulders. But, homework calls even yet! Later!

Treadmills Are Evil.

Some of you may remember that I don't like treadmills. Now I have proof that they are evil.

See, I love to run. I prefer to run outdoors, but occasionally I run on a treadmill in the place in my apartment building when it is cold/windy out. It works out ok because there are TVs and I just don't run as long.

Anyway, today Will and I went down to exercise a bit. I was running on the treadmill and he was already done so he was next to me. I realized that Full House, a classic 80's/90's sitcom, was on and got excited. When I turned to tell Will the news, I must have stepped slightly off the moving track onto the unmoving edge, which in turn caused me to fall. I don't really know what happened since it happened so fast, but I know that a whole lot of the left side of my body has been rubbed off to varying degrees. Will tells me that this is why you are supposed to wear some emergency shut off thing. Oh. It was really embarrassing, and it really hurts! I am getting all puffy and bloody in little spots here and there and it looks like I have hickeys on my neck and collarbone because at some point I landed on those parts too, on the quickly moving treadmill belt.

There you have it. Treadmills are evil. Don't say I didn't warn you.
