'Do you believe in what you see? There doesn't seem to be anyone else who agrees with me'

*Well, I've whole heartedly accepted my newest obsession with anything related to Zach Braff; mainly Garden State, an already known obsession for many (obvious) reasons, and Scrubs. I'm not sure if it's the fact that he's an awesome actor/director, has great taste in music (see Garden State soundtrack for that one, though to be honest, Scubs has some pretty incredible songs to go along with it as well, though I'm not too sure he has a say in the choice of that), or his ability to make his sheer nerd-ie-ness into something so wonderfully hilarious (it almost makes my own personal moments of nerd-om and social disasters seem acceptable!), but what ever he does, he is certainly doing something right :)

*Almost Friday after what has been one of the fastest weeks since I first started. I'm not sure where the weeks are going, but it seems as though I've managed to fill my time with just enough to keep myself busy; the quantity of my marking/grading has basically taken a nose dive and I've had the time to actually ensure my lessons are top notch

Check it! *zing* haha.

Yes, I went there, and I'm done.

Continuing on...

*I am most definitely looking forward to a great weekend up in the Lake District with Adam (I'm meeting the rest of his family). According to everyone I've spoken to, it is the place to be for hiking, scenery-- essentially, anything out door related. I'm excited to bust out my camera for some serious shots. Well, it's only an Olympus FE-340 (Push Here Dummy or PHD as I like to call them), but one day I will own a nice camera (when I can afford it--the newest Canon EOS Rebel T1i EF-s 18-55mm, all 900 dollars of it, makes me drool a bit...). I can see it now: I'll become one of those cliche backpackers who carries their camera everywhere with them, I'll become more 'ethical' and almost revert back to my high school self--the massive tree hugger that I was, though much cleaner than most. I'll snack on nothing but Kashi products and perhaps even grow dreads...

...sorry I had to stop there. I realized I was going a bit over board on the 'backpackers paradise' scenario. And don't worry, I won't be reverting back to my high school self. Ever :) (Hippy dippy just doesn't seem to fit me anymore).

*I did a little over 6 miles today in 1 hour and 3 minutes--about a 10 minute mile. I think I'm doing quite well :) Hopefully, once the summer is over I can start bringing that up again. My hay fever ('allergies' for all my American friends out there) seems to be acting up quite a bit this year; new climate perhaps? I had one of those episodes from high school soccer about three weeks ago *shutter*: Hot sticky weather + running + pollen + aggravated that I'm having trouble breathing = hyperventilating.

Joy.

*My room, just for the record, looks like it has thrown up on itself. Somehow, in the span of four days, it has gone from immaculate to one massive pigsty. And on that note, I should go and clean. Hopefully I'll be in bed earlier than 11pm tonight; I've been waking up still incredibly tired and I can't seem to figure out why.
