A new day brings new hope
Okay, that sounds a little too mushy for me, but oh well. I fell asleep last night with a killer headache. I barely even talked to my mom. It came on really suddenly, and then I was really tired. And my mom saw me on the camera and told me to go to sleep. So I said I might wake up later and call her back. Which I did wake up later to turn the lights off, and set my alarm. And I vaguely remember approving Brendan’s skype account to see when I’m online. But I didn’t call her back, just fell back to sleep. I guess I needed it. Then at 6:30 this morning, I got a wake-up call from Kyle who had gotten home from hockey and was trying to finish his Russian. Then I fell back to sleep until around 7:30, at which time, I forced myself to do the warm-up stuff from my yoga routine. At first I told myself I could just take it slow and just do the warm-ups today, continue to the standing sequence tomorrow, the sitting sequence the day after that. But then I just decided to do it all. And besides the feeling that my legs were going to give out every time I stood up, I felt pretty good about myself, used my workout playlist on iTunes even.
I got done a little before 8:30 and my playlist wasn’t done playing, so I decided to check my e-mails and my family’s blogs to see if anyone had updated. Only one update since the last time I had checked, but it was enough to put me in a really good mood. If you haven’t read Brendan’s latest entry, you should. I don’t know how to make a link, but it’s at www.xorph.com/creator if you want to copy and paste. He’s going to be in the same country as me soon. You can get the details from his blog, but I am so excited to have a relative only an hour and a half away from me. I’ll probably see him here in England before I go home this time and won’t be seeing him in the states for a while. He’ll actually be over here more when I’m not here than when I am, but it’s still exciting. I had to tell someone so I went and knocked on Celia’s door, and she said it’s sort of crazy that my family will actually be closer than hers. She lives like 5 hours away from Oxford.
So anyway, went to my lectures, walking really fast because all three of them are far away from each other, and my legs felt like jelly. Then I came back here and had lunch in my room, and now I’m preparing to get started on lovely politics reading because I have to take one of my books back tonight. But at least I’m in a good mood, so hopefully it won’t be too bad. Yay!!
