money

Does anyone have any ideas of how to make some decent money on the side (with little time involved)?? I'm really short for the dollars right now. It's really hard to be in a financial hole (ok, most of it has to do with the fact that I decided to spent $300 on my flight to Florida and the half-marathon registration fee, I admit it) and to be trying to fundraise $3,000+ for a charitable organization when you're worried how you're gonna make it through the next month.

I'm just not really sure how I got this point. Little things hear and there really added up.

There's such craziness in my life right now.

The half-marathon is only 7 weeks away!!!

done

DONE, DONE, DONE, DONE, DONE!!!

One semester to go before I have a Master's in my hand!!!

(Sigh). I survived.

half marathon

My friend Kristen, who is now living in Florida, convinced me to run the Disney Princess Half Marathon the first weekend in March. I'm excited and serious about training for this. Yesterday, I ran three miles because I could. Tomorrow, I'm attempting five. We'll see how it goes. I'm just hoping my calf doesn't give out on me again.

Note: I only made it to three again. But my time was better. Maybe I shouldn't do legs before attempting a long run on the treadmill.

hardest two weeks

Is it my imagination or are the two or three weeks between Thanksgiving break and Christmas break the hardest and most stressful weeks of the semester? You come back from a week at home. A week in which you had a lot of homework and had every intention to do it. Let's be honest, you're lucky if you even open your book over break. So then you come back and have to get back into the groove of school after being off, then frantically finish up assignments since you didn't do them over break, prepare for finals, do Christmas shopping, all while thinking about how you get to go home again in a couple weeks.

Then added in for me is the confusion my body feels over which time zone it should be in. I was trying to stay on an East Coast sleep schedule so that I wouldn't sleep until noon my first couple days back. However, last night ruined that plan for me :( I didn't get to bed until almost two so I slept until after 9:30...which is almost noon in PA. Sadness.

Well, on to tackle this paper and then go hit the gym to burn some serious calories to make up for the hot chocolate I am currently drinking ;)
