Anyone Out There?

Well. I don't even really know if people read this anymore, or if they ever did, but especially now since I have been bad about updating it.

Anyway, perhaps I will write for myself. Not sure why, but perhaps I will.

So. These are the last two weeks of classes, with my first final next Thursday. Then I have one at 8am on Saturday, and then on the following Wednesday. I would like to emphasize the one at 8 am on Saturday morning. That is mean for anyone, but in particular for me since I will have to leave my place around 6:45am to safely get there in time. Ack.

Jen moved out last Wednesday into her own cute little studio in Foggy Bottom. I look forward to how she will decorate it because she is so good at things like that. It is already cute with these really nice sheets on her bed. It has inspired me to have nicer looking household things... but, I am about to move, so all this inspiration will have to be put on hold until next fall. And by then it will be gone.

David visited this weekend and it was lots of fun. We toured lots and went to a number of places I hadn't been, or at least hadn't been for 10 years. We went to the American History museum, the Archives, and other places. All the basics plus some bonuses. It was great to catch up and talk about stuff. Really just stuff. I have noticed that I really like talking with my Whitman friends. I don't know whether it is because I know them better than other people I end up talking with, but in any case, Whitties are really smart and good for discussing things with. I find it very enjoyable and I think I am finding that people in general don't have that skill. Whitties also tend to be nicer and more considerate. But I'm not biased or anything.


On another note, marathon training started yesterday. It's not like I was sitting on my butt until yesterday, but it is a definite change in mentality for me. Previously, I would try to run regularly and mostly succeed, but with no specific goal in mind other than health, etc. Now, I have a training schedule and I am hoping to follow it religiously. At least I have so far (2 days)! Oh, the marathon I am training for is the Marine Corps Marathon, October 29th. It will be my first marathon, though I have many years of running and what they call ultra running under my belt. Ooo, I sound hardcore.
