The Home Stretch

When I look at my calendar, I realize that in three weeks I will essentially be done with my first year of college. Wow. That went fast!

Of course, when I look at my calendar I also see the enormous list of things that I need to accomplish by then, and I get this stressful feeling of terror in the pit of my stomach.

So what am I doing blogging tonight? Of course, I have a Latin and electrochemistry exam tomorrow, Relay for Life on Friday, and all kinds of lesser assignments to tackle. However, I want to sit and blog on nights like this so that this summer I can look back and think, "Man, that week sure sucked."

So here I am tonight...my room is a wreck, I have work piled up all around me, my roommate has been in the shower for 1 hour and 15 minutes, and I feel like Friday should be here by now. But it's not. Dang.

On the bright side, I have been getting some terrific training in. My long term goal of Branson 70.3 is beginning to look more like a realistic one, especially with a long summer of training ahead of me. This "goal" has slowly begun turning into a mild obsession. I am now internally motivated to do it, at all costs. I love how energizing that feeling is.

If you are wondering about my roommate, he does this showering thing all the time. No, he won't drown. No, he's not a fish. Yes, he is extremely lazy and has way too much time on his hands. Yes, I have gone and dumped icy water on him multiple times.

He actually just got out, making todays shower time a respectable 1:17:33. I'm sure if he works on it he can get even better soon :)
