I turned in my paper yesterday. So now I just have to defend it and my exam. Then I can take the 100+ books BACK TO THE LIBRARY! I'm going to need them when I'm writing my dissertation, but not all at once. And besides, I think there will be something extremely cathartic about dumping them all down the book drop.
We're at Dad's, enjoying a long weekend off (Ben got an extra day because of the INSANE 8am-3am day he worked a week ago). Among other good things, our poor sick-ish car is going to get repaired (we're hoping it's several small things rather than one big thing, or worse, several big things) Ben gets to play in a musical, which I think will do him good (and he'll have some ill-gotten gains with which to buy the new keyboard he's been wanting). We'll have J's birthday party on Sunday. And I'm going to go running. I always feel safer running here because I know a lot of the people, and I know where I'm going! There are great training hills around here. Just big enough to be tough, not so big as to be scary (like when I used to run the Y. I must have been insane).
I'm glad for a few days to think before I have to get ready for my LAST exam. Although, I did talk to my advisor while I was on campus to turn in my paper. She said she's read my exam and thinks that I'm "in really good shape." Hooray!

Yay! And I think you might break the book drop.
Yay yay yay! I wish I could be there for the birthday party:( I will miss everyone.
I feel so vindicated when I hear that other people praise you. It lets me know I'm right about you - you're secretly Superwoman.
Yes!!!! I'm so glad about the shape you are in.
As one of the few people qualified to comment on this particular portion of your post: yes, you were insane for (or during the time period that you were) running the Y (and the SWKT stairs multiple times, for that matter)(or from our place up into Provo Canyon--mostly barefoot if I remember correctly), but wouldn't it be nice to be that young and that able-to-be-crazy sometimes? There are occasions when I miss those days and then there are occasions when I'm EXTREMELY glad I don't have to live through all that confusion again!
