One Positive Thing About the Midwest...

Oxygen.

Seriously, God bless oxygen. I have been kicking some serious ass on my runs. I have to make this entry quick since I need to shower and meet a friend for lunch, but since I haven't blogged on here in a while, I thought I would update.

I came home to Indiana before Thanksgiving and haven't really been tracking my calories, but I've been working out and running still. Who knows (and who cares) if I'm still losing or whatever. A little break from dieting never killed anyone...well, that may not be true. REGARDLESS, I did another 5K on Thanksgiving (Turkey Trot) in unofficially 40:30. Plus, I ran 3 miles on the treadmill at the YMCA at at 4.7 pace AND I just ran 2.09 miles around my neighborhood at a 12:30minute pace. GO ME!

I'm probably going to get my ass handed to me when I go back to Denver and can't breathe again, but for now, I'm thriving! :)

More Babbling

It's funny how I find myself telling everyone that "Denver is great", "The classes aren't too scary, yet", and "I even made a friend". I'm not sure if saying those things is to make people feel better/happy for me, or to make myself more reassured about my own life.

It's all true, I guess. I don't think I'll fail out my first quarter. I'm not sure I can keep a 3.5, but that's a different story. I do like Denver. It's not Indiana. And I did make a friend, who's really nice and accepting of the fact that she is the only person I know and invites places all the time. So really, I shouldn't be complaining. But sometimes, it just sucks have to put on this nice person front and act all proper to everyone because you're not at home with them. Just one day a week, I would like to be sitting on a couch with my friends from home cursing, saying raunchy things, and letting my hair down. C'est la vie.

Classes are done for the week. I have lots of reading, but alas the book is not in yet. I also need to write a screenplay for tomorrow. I'm not a screenplay writer. I enjoy the literary poetics used in narrative writing. And basically, in screenwriting, they consider that bullshit. UGH.

I wonder how long it takes to start feeling at home, like I did at DePauw? Or if that ever will happen since its a different kind of atmosphere.

Eh, cheers!
