It all hit me this week and hit me hard. Time is going by way too fast and I'll be looking for a job and applying to the PhD program before I know it....well, I guess I should be doing that RIGHT NOW, but I have other things on my mind. It's all about prioritizing. This week is packed with things to do and I'm actually feeling stressed for the first time this semester. It's hard enough with the impending time change and the arrival of the eternal darkness of the "Michigan Winter", but I haven't been out to exercise in over a week and I'm definitely feeling the repercussions--both mentally and physically. As one friend put it "I'm starting to feel my body morph into its winter form"....well, it isn't that bad....yet. All things considered, I'm doing well and am adjusting my routine to the new weather and academic demands. For instance, I went to bed at 9:30 last friday night and didn't stir until 8 am saturday! It was some of the most peacefull sleep I've had in a while. Instead of choosing to watch the UM football game at Solomon and Damon's house, I stayed at home and studied with the tv on mute--I know, it wasn't the most productive study session I've had, but I did still absorb some Public Health Policy. I then rewarded myself with a trip to BW3 to join the boys and my friend Julia before heading out to the "Sweater and Cider" party. Check out the pics below. The cider was hot (and had quite a kick to it) and the bonfire was very welcoming on the cold night. It ended up being another late night, but probably the most fun I've had in a few weeks.
In other news, I've finally decided on my Halloween costume! I'm still not divulging any info, but pics will be up at some point. I just need to figure out how to stay warm while wearing my costume........
Looks like the party (or one of the parties) I'll be going to will be a totally crazy experience--at least people who went last year say that it was incredible. By that point I'll be finished with all of my midterms and my poster will (hopefully) be done and ready for monday's poster session, so a good time is most definitely in order!
Alright, my laundry is done and I gotta get back to work so I'll leave you with some pics.
Out at BW3: Hal, Sol, Me, Julia
