Two Weeks Later...

Here we are, almost exactly two weeks since my last post.

I've been trying to live up to the deep thoughts that I shared then, by not letting too many things pass me by... and then I spent all day in my room today... dangit.

Today is beautiful, I wish I had been more motivated to go out and tan tan tan, however, I am slightly worried about this melanoma thing I keep hearing about, and since I plan to spend four days in the sun starting on Thursday, I felt its alright for my epidermis to take today off.

I feel like a lot has happened in the last 13 days.. but most of it, hasn't really been "blog-worthy"... it was mostly work for classes... super fun. But now its Spring Break, so I have tons of time to blog- my new favorite hobby.

My other new favorite hobby is running (shout out to Laura and Jenn). I haven't been much of runner before.. I've always been into activity that gets something accomplished, like from one side of the court to the other or racing in the pool, but running in a big circle has never been enough to motivate me... too bad because I coached a middle-school track team for five years (shout out to Jake.. ha). But now I am running, mostly because now there is a reason. I'm training for a couple of races in the next couple months, true story. One will be 5.5 miles and the other is a 10K... holy crap... But I did a 4-miler last week, and it was exhilarating, so now I'm really excited to do another one. And that apparently is all the motivation I need.

Another factor of motivation in this new running hobby of mine is the fact that I'm doing these races in order to raise money for the Arizona Cancer Center. You have to train if you're running for cancer research, right?

A more recent update is, I got a new camera yesterday, which I'm really excited about. Its like the hummer of cameras- except I think that it may be a little more energy efficient than an H2. Mostly I got it because I'm about to have all of these life experiences (CABO, graduation, going back to camp this summer, and then "who knows" is going to start...) I thought it was important to be able to capture those moments. So I got a sick camera... but everyone I show it to doesn't seem to be as impressed as I clearly am by it. I actually spent a lot of money over the last two days... (ssh. don't tell my mom) but I'm feeling good about all the purchases-- especially my camera.

Another funny thing happened yesterday. Cori and I were in Dillard's looking at bathing suits and the woman helping us (either her name was Toby or Tory.. I didn't have my contacts in- regardless I called her Tory the whole time) and she was hysterical. Probably over 60, couldn't get us a discount which is sad, but super funny. And she "got" our convos which is difficult I think. I told her I was going to put her on my blog because she was that funny, so now I have. I took a picture with her and my new cute dress with my new sick camera. She doesn't have a computer though, so this all may be quite pointless.

Also, I'm trying to work on figuring out that "who knows" part now. Its super stressful, let me tell ya. But I have faith that it will all work out. Right now I'm looking into working in Ireland for a while... maybe do some traveling while I'm over there, then come back in sit in a cubicle. We'll see how far I get with that... if it happens though, I'm definitely going to need some more evil eye bracelets... and probably some prayer candles in the church.

So this blog has been pretty sufficient, I think. Maybe I'll go enjoy outside-ness now. It is a great day... one of those days that makes you so happy to be in Tucson.

Wait. One more thing that makes me happy to be in Tucson... CATS! I cannot believe we're going to the tournament for number 25 this year. I haven't even given up hope that we're winning it all. I'm definitely Wild about those Cats. And with that, I'm going running. Or something else productive-- we'll see where life takes me.
