look! a post!

So, it's been a little while since I've posted. I guess there hasn't been too much to say.

After not exercising at all since the marathon (which was on Sunday, August 12), I rode my rented road bike to my parents on Tuesday night (21st), and I went for a swim yesterday (22nd). So that was good times. The swimming went better than I expected. I hadn't exercised since the marathon because of my injuries. The bike was a challenge, but it was certainly do-able. It's kinda funny though, I have a hard time convincing myself to go out for a bike ride unless I'm "going somewhere". I just feel like biking without "going somewhere" is pointless. Isn't that bizarre? I can run without having to "go somewhere" but I guess I just see the bike as a vehicle or something. I'm going to force myself out for a cycle this afternoon though. I think I'm going to skip the pool (although I'm really not sure ... I'm being quite non-commital today) as I have this stupid head cold. On the plus side, I had a sore throat 2 days ago, and that's pretty much all gone. Now I've just got sinus headaches and lots of snot. Woo! I hate sore throats. I'd rather throw up for a week than have a sore throat for a day.

My feet are almost all healed up - the swim yesterday helped clear it up actually, so that's good.

I'm looking into getting my latest eco-feminism paper PUBLISHED! My prof gave me an A+ and a rave review. She's told me to get it published, so I'm going to give that a go. I'll continue to post on that.

I'm looking forward to school starting up again, my two rels classes will be good but of course I'm dreading music history. I don't know how many times I can say "I DON'T CARE" in one paper. But I don't ~ I really, really don't. I honestly can't be bothered to research for music history courses. It's just so boring, and .. oh yeah, I DON'T CARE. Oh well, just 2 more to go (one fall and one winter) and I will never have to take another one again. Take that, music history! Honestly, when you've studied it for like 10 years against your will, it's time to let it go.

Tyler, Christine and I head up to Peace River this weekend. I'm sure funny pictures and ridiculous stories will abound. I'm feeling fairly confident about it so we'll see how it goes. I haven't run since the marathon cause I'm waiting for my foot to finish healing. Hopefully I won't do any major damage on Sunday. I'm missing my runs. :(

Well, I think I'm going to go ... home to work? ... to the pool? ... all I know is I'm not staying at work.
