A Lazy Friday Night (a.k.a I'm a Lame Senior)

Hola!  Today was a rest day in all aspects.  I started really well with waking up at the beginning of the week, but by this morning, I wanted to sleep in so bad.  I believe I had intentions of waking up to do some reading, but ended up getting up about an hour before my 50 minute discussion session (around 10 am).  I still see this as a success because in the past I was known to wake up about 15 minutes before class and hurry out the door with sweats and no makeup on.

I think Adam believes his absence has helped my productivity level, but I think I just tend to get off on the wrong foot most semesters.  I've waited until my last semester to be a good student!  That's kind of the reversal of how it should be, huh?  Do you think having your significant other around a lot influences productivity levels?

After discussion, I headed to the bank to deposit some birthday money (thanks Mom and Dad!) and then went to MedExpress because my right knee has been feeling 'off' and after last spring's injury I wanted to make sure nothing was seriously wrong since I'm training for the Monument Avenue 10k and will be running more.  MedExpress in Williamsburg is actually really fast.  They usually see you within 10 minutes of arrival, and I've never had to wait.  None of that Patient First mess back home where you're there for 2 hours...Anyways, after an exam and some x-rays, my knee is fine!  The area bothering me was the meniscus and he said sometimes it can get strained with a lot of physical activity.  I basically need to have rest days, especially if I feel more discomfort.  I'm glad I got it checked out because now I know I can focus on improving in running, endurance, and strength training without worry of a bad injury happening.

The rest of the night I spent some time working on a scrapbook page for Snowshoe pictures (once they come in) and made a few thank you cards for the people who made my 22nd birthday so special.  I feel like handmade notes are more sincere than generic cards, plus I love being crafty so it gives me a reason to procrastinate doing other things.  Obviously it's totally understandable if a person isn't crafty/doesn't have time to make a card, as long as you send a thank you note!

Right now, I'm off to bed in hopes of getting up early to workout and make it home in the early afternoon.  I probably should be out partying right now, but I expended that energy last spring semester.  Also, last Saturday night was enough partying for at least two weekends.  Oh hey! Here's a picture of the lovely ladies who I began the night with (and somehow lost in the course of the night's debauchery).

I'm headed home tomorrow because my mom is cooking dinner for me and Adam--it will be good to get away from the 'burg for a day or so.  Also, I believe the boyfriend is coming back tomorrow!  I enjoyed having some time to myself, but I have started to miss him (just a little).  I think in any relationship, it is important to have space and time apart.
