Last night was fun. At first I was very apprehensive about going; I was exhausted on top of not being too sure who else was going to be there. Luckily, it turned out to be a really great time. Once in a while it's nice just to let your hair down and feel like you're back in college--when you need to act 'business like' for 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, it starts to wear a person out after a while. That's not to say that I don't enjoy playing the part of the adult and adhering to expectations of the working world, but once in a while it's nice to remind myself that I'm only 22 and I'm still allowed to act my age :).
I'm in dire need of new running shoes. My Asics are starting to make my feet burn after running and for the past month or so my knees have been aching after every run. Thank God I'm going home in two weeks (they're far too expensive to purchase here). I've come to the conclusion, and my boss agrees, that I need to find a happy medium between work and my running. I got to a point where I was pretty much all work and my running was suffering. That's not to say that I'm about to let my work suffer, but because running a huge stress release of mine, I can't afford to let it slip out of my life; there's only so much a person can do before they start making work their priority and their health and sanity begin to slip (I refuse to be married to my job...teacher or not I'm not about to let my health and well being slip).
I took a long walk today out to Caldacott Lake (a man made lake about 2 miles--or perhaps a bit more-- from my house). I got some really good shots on my walk there (all pictures are up on facebook) and then found a bench to park myself and read more of Russell Brands 'My Booky Wook' (such a hilarious book). I'm trying to put up pictures but it doesn't seem as though blogger wants to cooperate. I'll give it a try later.

I was no good after your second paragraph. All I could think about was how to act appropriately in accordance with age. I’m pretty sure I’ve acted inappropriately at every age. I like to think it runs in the family.
I’m going to need a detailed report on this phenomena ASAP (I have another complete rotation around the sun coming up this month).
Aw well don't take it to heart--this is just the way my brain works. AND don't forget...I am suppose to act the role-model for these kids when they are in (which is ALL DAY LONG). I can't let my guard down for one moment until I get home. And by that point I'm too tired to care about letting my guard down (thank God the guy I'm dating is in the same situation as me--we keep each other sane once the day ends).
Phenomena? What are you talking about?? LOL
the particular saturday you are talking about is really the best...
i know this because it was the day i was born- so how could it not be?
