Free day

I have a paper to write that I have been putting off for over a week. There are so many other things I'd like to do today such as:

1. get a haircut
2. make carrot ginger soup
3. sew a tote bag for school
4. go running
5. take Annie to the park
6. watch TV

I hate having homework, it feels like my work day is never done. After I finish this paper I think I'll feel a little better about things. I just feel so unmotivated when it comes to this school program. Why don't I care? I worked so hard to get accepted and now I feel like I could care less about the information or the classes. So weird. Annie is so cute sleeping beside me on the bed. I love that dog.

Philip picked me up after school today and drove me home. He seemed so sad. I wish I could think of a way to cheer him. I could buy me specialty beer but I feel like we have been so unhealthy lately and drinking an awful lot of alcohol. I have a hard time thinking of other nice things to do for him. How sad is that? Well I guess if I'm going to finish that paper and get started on things I should get to work.

Carnegie library is awesome

I have a break from classes right now so I'm spending a few hours at Carnegie library and it is so cool. I love modern design but when it comes to a great library, the old ones are always the coolest. The ceilings in here are incredibly high and all the tables and chairs are a deep rich brown wood. In a few hours, I have to go to the Wiser center to practice transfers on dummies. I'm a little nervous because I'm not great at smooth transfers. I hope it goes well but it is only practice to get better at doing it with real people.

I feel like crap

Ugh. I'm feeling so terrible. I thought I left the germ infested preschool life that I was none with being constantly sick but I was wrong. I have an achy-feel-terrible-sore throat-want-to-die illness. I tried to get up and go to school today but ended up back in bed for another 5 hours of sleep. I've been in bed all day eating cheese sandwiches and drinking ginger ale. I hope I feel better tomorrow because I have a long day of classes to conquer including the terrible clinical medicine.

I should get started on my homework. I've been watching Modern Family for hours and being oh so lazy. I have a lot of work to get caught up on. I really don't like school. I can't wait to go back to working in 2 years. I miss it.

my electric blanket is broken

Today I went back to class to start week two. I only had two classes this morning and neither one was too bad. The weather turned really cold and rainy today and I woke up with a terrible sore throat. I'm hoping it is just sinus trouble and will pass in a day or two. I really don't have time to be sick right now. I'm trying to get everything organized with my classes and not procrastinate this semester which I tend to do.

Even though I wasn't feeling great, I did make it to the gym to do a 3 mile run. I can't believe the 10k is only 2 weeks. I don't really feel like I'm ready to do it but I'm going to give it a go anyway and just see how it goes. I mean if I feel like I'm dying I can always stop and walk for a little bit.

I could really use a nap. I have so much to do tonight and zero energy to do it. I couldn't fall asleep last night and stayed up and looked at photos. I was feeling homesick for Seattle. It still feels like we should be going back any day now, like this thing in Pittsburgh is just temporary like a long vacation. I guess it will start to feel more like home as time passes but there are so many things I miss about Seattle. Most of all I miss Philip being happy and carefree and not so depressed and anxious all the time. I wish there was something I could do to help him but I'm not sure what to do. I think he just needs to be done with that terrible job and start to feel comfortable with the not so terrible job.

I can't believe all that we've done this year. Everything feels like it has been moving at light speed since May.

Highlights of the summer:

+ Passing Anatomy!!
+ Moving cross-country with the pets
+ Mt. Rushmore
+ Visiting Wall Drug
+ Moving to a new apartment
+ Awesome new bed my Dad made for us
+ Spending Bethany's birthday with her at Wafflonia
+ Evan's Baptism
+ Spending 2 weeks sort of relaxing at my parent's house
+ Katie's visit to Pittsburgh
+ Going to the Natural History museum
+ Running in Frick park


I guess I should get started on the hours of reading I have ahead of me.

+ first pumpkin spice latte of the season
+ snuggling with Annie Dog
+ Hot Hot shower after walking home in the cold rain
