Currently Listening To: Make You Feel My Love – Adele (original version written and sung by Bob Dylan – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH3HMBhzSag)
It’s slowly becoming a slightly crappy day weather-wise here in Jersey. But a good day to get some indoor stuff done. Like working on two mid-terms I don’t really feel like working on. This cold also persists, despite my best efforts to run it out of my system. Last night I ran a mile on the treadmill in 8:30. This morning I ran, but wasn’t feeling as up to snuff, so I didn’t push myself. I have also been doing some weights, and its nice to (slowly) start to see some definition in my arms. I am about 135 again, but I think it is more due to gaining some muscle rather than weight itself. I really don’t enjoy running, but I enjoy the feeling at the end. And I enjoy the burn in my stomach when I force myself to do more sit-ups than I think I can. I am by no means an exercise fanatic, but I understand how people can get addicted to it. I used to love working out in high school when I rowed on the crew team. To the point that I would go to morning practice, go to school, go to afternoon practice, and then still come home and work out again. I am hoping to get back to the shape I was in then. I think I may be getting close. And it feels damn good. 
In other news, I am planning to go to Washington D.C. the first weekend in March for a public health advocacy summit. There are about 5 other girls in my classes that are going as well, so it should be a fun, informative and educational weekend. Just trying to figure out the hotel and transportation details are getting a bit complicated…
I have inadvertently cut out 99% of the TV watching that I was doing previously. I have a TV in my room, but am too lazy to hook it up to a cable box. So once in a while, I will watch a previously aired episode online, but I really quite enjoy not sitting down in front of the TV the way I used to. Plus…books are always better, in my view.
