Yay me!

Yesterday was a long day.

Working with the HS student and teacher has been wearing me down this week. They are in lab 9-3 everyday, and by the time they leave, I have no motivation left to do any of my stuff. Normally, it might not be too terrible, because after a while, I'd eventually get used to it and gain my motivation back. But this week was not a good week to lose my motivation because I have my huge, important candidacy exam to worry about. I tried working on my 20 min. talk, but I have not gotten far at all with it. I'm planning on going into lab today and working on my my talk. I want to have it mostly done so that the rest of the time between now and my exam I can just study. We'll see.

Because yesterday was such a long day, I decided to stay home last night and veg out. Although I'm very proud to report that I worked out last night as well. I worked out on a Friday night! I can honestly say that I've never done that before, and you know what, it felt really good. I might have overdone it a little on Wednesday when I ran, because my left heel was not feeling great. Then again, my shoes may just be old and in need of replacing if I want something to run in. I plan on getting new shoes today because I plan to run a lot more in the upcoming months. So instead of running, I got on the bike for 30 min and walked for 20. Not bad, huh? It felt really good and somehow I'm really liking night workouts.
