I've been running. I'm following a training program online. You know I got some new running shoes and I've been following the Nike plan online to get back into running. I'd really like to be able to do something with that. And it's a nice way to start the day: it wakes me up and makes me feel like I'm still a little bit in shape and doesn't make me feel so bad about eating smores or anything like that.
The lab is okay. Hard to believe that we only have three short weeks left. Feels like we could use about a year more, we're just now getting started. It's not really our fault or the fault of our advisor. We came across some problems and then we had to keep restarting our experiment and we can only DO the experiment when the fish lay eggs and blah blah blah. The whole nine yards.
I've been trying to take care of myself. Drinking my milk and taking my vitamins and getting some sleep.
Money is starting to be something I'm worrying about every day. I've been working a lot and trying not to buy too much, but I'm afraid because it seems like my paychecks aren't as amazing as I'd like them to be. And I have a list of things I need to get for school in the fall that I've started looking for since I'll only be in Erie for 2 days in August. I finally caved and got a new white cardigan. The one I had was mine since I think about the ninth grade and it was getting a little dingy and JCrew had them on sale so I figured it was about time to start looking nice again in a white sweater. We also had those ribbed sort of cotton tank tops on sale. They were $4.97 on clearance, so the clearance price took 30% off and then I got ANOTHER 30% off of that for my employee discount. They ended up being like a dollar and some cents. You can't even get them that cheap at Walmart. So I got six. I'll wear them for running and to class and in the summertime. But anyway, I'm worried. And I don't want to come to the end of the summer and (if it happens, which I'm not sure it will) not have enough money to cover everything and still owe a little going into the school year. Thankfully, I'll have a job (or two) during the year, so if that happens to be the case, it's fixable. But I'm nervous.
Hope all is well in Erie. We've FINALLY been getting some summery weather down here.
I'll try to call soon. Dad, I'm so sorry about forgetting to call back the other night. And today after work I had to stop at the grocery store again and get some yogurt because I have cankor sores really bad and by the time I got back I thought you'd be in bed. I will try my darndest to call Tuesday afternoon/evening. Tomorrow I have to work at JCrew again after the lab.
Tuesday should be fun. Stephen and I are taking Dr. Gribble out to lunch as an early thank-you for everything this summer. She's been great. I can't wait to have her for class now.
Okay, time to sleep. Up at six tomorrow to run. I'll be fine. I just need sleep and reassurance that everything's going to work out, that everything's going to be okay.
