I blame....me
How not to prepare for a presentation: start the night before, watch an episode of Lost, spend 5 hours picking a topic, take a 1.5 hour nap, and have to stay up until 3:30 AM. Presentations are a special challenge b/c unlike a paper where you will only embarrass yourself in front of a professor, there is the possibility of looking like a fool in front of many other people you may work with someday. However, my mission was accomplished: the presentation was prepared and given, the professor nodded his head and smiled at me when I was finished (I remember being surprised at the smile-he is very serious), and I didn’t hear my group in the class (for a group paper) muttering things like “deadweight” on their way out the door. The only problem with this is that I was tired today and I don’t function well when I am tired. I didn’t realize this until after college when I finally started getting enough sleep for the first time in 8 years. Oh well, I sucked it up-b/c honestly, the whole thing was my fault. Fortunately, I finished season 1 of Lost so I can resume my normal life.
I came home from school at 3:30 and ran in shorts and short sleeves (exposing my sexy turf burned knees and red ankles to the world) for 34:09 around some sort of reservoir near me. It’s a cool run. I was super fatigued from soccer but it felt good to actually run at a normal pace for the first time in a week (not sprinting like pre-soccer, not racing in the Turkey Trot, and not jogging unhurried laps on a track). I was thinking earlier today that I want to race sometime either during or immediately after soccer season b/c I think playing will make me faster. Anyway, back to class. Then early to bed. I can't wait.
