Some say more with their hand. I'm running as fast as I can.

It has been quite awhile since I have written any type of updates on here.

Everything is going pretty smoothly, which is very surprising. I had expected by now some major craziness. My schedule is pretty nuts with 1-3 classes on MWF and T/R I go straight from 9:30-4:00 with judo at 6.

Speaking of which, Judo is pretty amazing. I really thought it would be more about kicking and fighting but it more about throwing and play fighting. I am able to throw people to the ground which can be pretty empowering. It works so well on the core. I am having so much fun with it.

Newspaper is another one of my interesting classes. I had my first two stories published already but I can't really decide if I like it or not. The topics seem dull and editors do not take enough charge. I need to begin to brainstorm for my next two stories.

Running is going well. I feel physically fit but the speed endurance is coming slowly. I did 4x1000m today and it just felt so slow. I taking tomorrow off just to rest.

I am also going to a Bible study on Thursdays, I am really enjoying. It is just great to be around different people.

OH, and internship applications are in, all there is left to do is wait and pray.

Fifteen is funny

My fifteen year old sister sent me a text today that said,

"Boys pay more attention to you if you wear a bereat"

Back in the swing..

I am back at Carson Newman and classes started today. I am back into my usual routine, wake-up, drink coffee, get ready , go to class, sit thru class ( rather I pay attention or not is a different question)-repeat, go back to the house and run. Tomorrow will be a bit different, I am going to have to get my running in, in the morning and I am expecting it to be super cold! The weather has been gross; rain, wind and chilliness.

I have been filling out applications for internships this summer. I had forgotten how hard it is to put oneself down on a piece paper. It is just so difficult to convey who you are thru stats and essay questions. I almost wished I had Mrs. Cain around from High School again to walk me thru the steps. I just hope USA Track and Field or the Olympic Committee find me worthy.

Oh, I am quoted in Runner's World ( again) this month.
