Kinda makes me feel bad and a little sheepish... my parents always have the hardest time with computers. My mom always needs help editing work papers because microsoft word does some wacky stuff sometimes, and my dad is a two finger typist. Normally when they ask me for help, I am in the middle of doing something, and it's easy for me to get annoyed and snap at them especially when the answer is right there on the screen in front of them. But I know the reason they are asking is because they really just don't see it any I ought to be more patient.
anyhoo, it's 7:55 AM and I've been wide awake for a good hour now. I've never been one to sleep in, and once morning light hits my eyes, I can't go back to sleep. Sometimes, it sucks because I want to sleep in. But most of the time, it's perfect. The morning is my absolute favorite time of day, because thats when the world just feels cleaner and fresher and quieter. I love going on morning runs because that's when things are most calm (even in berkeley! But especially in the cupertino hills). It's one of the most refreshing experiences, and if you sleep in all the time you don't know what you're missing out on. In fact, I think I'll take my camera up to the hills sometime and post some pictures ... if i can figureout how. But really, the best part of the morning is waking and going out to the world under a fresh new pale blue sky, knowing that your day is full of possibilities.
I wish I could go on a run right now, but I think for my own good I'll have to pass. When I got back to Cupertino 2 weekes ago, I went a little to run-happy and put in a lot of milage. I also went back to the track to do some speedwork and ran a timed mile for the first time in 3 years! I 've missed De Anza's old red rubber track, but I think three days of speedwork after a good few months without it was a little to abrupt and my shins are complaining. Time to back off.
That's fine though, since I have a lot of things to take care of today.
- Finish "Black flies", buy and read "rescue 471" by Fresno externship
- Eat with the APO family <--HAHAH funny story, I was searching for a phone number on the APO directory and after I tried signing in, I was greeted with the message:
"Our records currently indicate that you are in bad standing. Please talk to the Membership VP to regain access to the website." - I LOL-ed. It was only a matter of time.
- collect pictures for sister's wedding shower and make slideshow
- WORK ON DARN APPLICATIONS.
Speaking of, I really hate writing personal statements. I haven't written a quality essay in like...4 years and forget what it feels like to re-read a paragraph and say "WOT that was good." Letters of rec are also be a pain to deal with right now.
TTYL!!!
