Crunch Time .

On Wednesday, I have a relatively large progressional review for the museum I'm designing for the city of Greenville (a studio project, not a paid professional one). I've been drawing my floor plans and have a good bit to do before Wednesday -- let's hope tomorrow yields a very productive day that enables me to sleep!

Exercise Exhaustion .

I went out for a long mountain bike ride today with a buddy, and boy am I wiped. It just goes to show that if you don't keep up with things, you pretty much become a flabby tub (or at least feel like one). It was fun, but whenever I do something physical exerting like that (other than lifting) all I want to do is spend the rest of the day napping. Doing something cardio-related on my off days is something I've been wanting to do all semester, and haven't really had the time, or I guess in all honesty I just haven't made the time. Be it biking, running, spin class, or some other crazy thing I come up with, it's something I'd like to be an almost daily occurrence. Let's just say I can't wait for it to be light out later, and really have extra sunlight to use up with some exciting things at the end of the day.

ugh .

So of course the one day that I have a billion things to write about I am cut short by time. Tomorrow I'm driving back down to school (you know, 800 miles, 14 hours or so including meals and stops for gas, no big deal) and I think for the first time it has sort of snuck up on me real quick without me knowing. Granted, I was dragged out today to run errands that ran entirely way too late... thus hindering me beginning the packing process. Luckily, I'm at the point where all I need to do is put my clothes in suitcases and then start loading up. I know that it's going to take longer than I want it to though. The plan is to leave at 11am. Well given that it's 1230am already.. yeahhh not going to happen. On top of all that, I'm worried about having money to pay for things. Basic things, like rent and gas and food. I'm praying that I can find a job (another thing on my to-do list; applications and searching and such -- which I told myself I would do over break and neglected to do at all). Life is just life sometimes, you know? I just gotta keep telling myself, "Come on now... no more fantasy life in Barcelona, time to get back to the real world..." and then do it. Prayers would certainly be appreciated...
