Escaping The Midterm Madness

 

That is ambrosia right there. Mind-hyping endorphins in a can for when your essay is due in four hours. The only downside is that it left me so jittery that I kept making spelling typos. Holla spell check. (No mom/dad/concerned relatives, I didn't drink both cans in one sitting.)

 

The really rad thing is that I only have one midterm this week. Uno. My Mass Communications prof moved our exam for next week (which is not even a midterm), so I only have to study for my Christ Culture and University midterm. Total win.

All of my poor freshman friends are doing crazy things like biology and  calculus, and I am just like "journalism major over here, woot woot!" I am already planning on taking the easiest science course available either next semester or my Sophomore year. Now that I am no longer in highschool, there is no way that I am ever taking a science and a math class at the same time again. Ever.

 So yah, everyone else is cramming until their brains fall out while I am like "9 pm bedtime baby!!!" Trust me, I enjoying it while it lasts - my serenity will probably come crashing down around December when finals roll in.

 

Sweet dreams - I am working on decorating my dorm wall with running related posters, inspirational quotes, and Bible verses. I think it would be totally cool to decorate an entire wall with Rave Run photos from my Runners World magazines (RW readers know what I'm talking about). Speaking of RW, I am seriously considering unsubscribing and switching to Running Times magazine. I have read RW for 3 years now, and it seems like they just keep recycling the same stories - not to mention the same cover models. RW was good when I began xc for the first time and ran my first half marathon - now that I am more competitive I think that RT has more to offer. Not to mention that RT is cheaper.....

Sooooo glad my mom convinced me to take the back massage chair thingy to college - it had just been stuffed into a corner back home but is now getting some serious use.

I am totally stoked to announce that I reached a 44 mile total for last week - that is the farthest that I have ever run in a week. My legs, not to mention my entire body, have never felt this powerful and strong before.
