I want to run
so badly right now. I want to run crystal one last time again. I want to race one last time again. My left calf is in intermittent pain and it feels bruised up and down. I feel like it’s telling me something is torn and I need to stop walking around so much on it. I want to get out and run so badly though, I’ve seen one good sunset since i’ve gotten to sd and it was on a bike. Just not the same experience you work for. Still feeling a little overwhelmed with school work, not because there’s so much yet but more because i’m always uncertain if i’ve done everything or not. Don’t ask me how i ended up with 6 classes, i guess its because two are seminars, and still the workload is pretty light… but, its getting hard to remember what was due for each class. Sure, “get a planner,” but its different when one isn’t provided for you. Story of College life right there. Things are different when it’s not handed to you on a shiny platter. I know it’s cliche but it’s SO true when you experience it yourself. You seniors will see what i’m talking about one day. You’ll negate me now, but when the day comes–man, you’ll be laughing at yourself. But i digress, I’ve reached that point where i need to run, it’s unfortunate it came at a time when my leg is in pain. I can bike–but i won’t. I can walk–I have to though. I want and need to get out for a run, maybe i’ll take the bus down to the beach and run on the sand… yes, that sounds like a plan. Just need to find a nice long clean beach now.
Things are going well for those of you back up in the bay. I haven’t shrunken any clothes yet. All my whites are still white, i haven’t pulled an all nighter yet. I haven’t broken anything yet. I’ve been eating well–at least a meal a day LOL. I’ve been filling my tummy to say the least. I’m not late to class. I take notes and listen to lectures and discuss during discussions and engage during seminars. Life is well. I must have spent half my day today thinking about a planner. 4.5″ x 8″, 8.5″x11″, 3″x5″, weekly planners, day planners, academic yearly, monthly planner, address book, aw shucks. I think i’ll just make my own after seeing how much these companies are trying to rip us off. 20 bucks for something i could keep on my computer and print out for free. Well, getting home after chipotle–i spent another good hour figuring out the most optimal way of printing out a weekly or monthly or daily calendar. Should i draw it? Excel it? Get a image off google? Photoshop lines? oh… i’ll just print my google calendar.
To those who have word spelling suggestions built into their browser (it underlines a misspelt word), is it interesting that “google” is an actual entered word now? but “haha” or “lol” isn’t.
i’ll update you guys soon,
stay hungry

Yes i DO listen to your requests. and I respond.


by “requests” do you mean me lol?
from your posts I still can’t tell whether you’re really enjoying college, but hopefully things turn for the better if they aren’t. If I had to give advice (because you’ve given it to me on so many occasions and I feel like I need to return the favor), just imagine it to be your first year of running all over again. You just gotta be patient, wait, and soon you’ll acclimatize and find running to be a part of your life again.
