An uphill battle

This is not a metaphor. Today I rode, with Amanda, to Tempe Town Lake....which was downhill....so the ride back was uphill....my thighs were screaming (metaphor...that could sound really bad...but that is only if you are Tom or Lindsey, who have there minds in the gutter!) It wasn't too bad actually. It was a lot of fun. It was hard work, but that is because I am out of shape. So, I needed this. It was only probably a total of 5 miles, not bad.

Today I had my movement and my composition class.
Movement is going to be hard work, but I know if I put forth the effort I will gain a lot from the course. (Friday we are going to be doing pushups and sit ups and starting a work out regiment that we will need to follow all semester...not what I expected, but it is only one day, and then we will get into the real movement work)
Comp was comp. The grad student teaching the course is weird, but I think I will survive.

After class I went and got my books. Oh, here is a story. I call them yesterday to see if they had what I had ordered (they told me a week ago, when I ordered, they would call to let me know when they were ready...no phone call so I call them). She said all but one. I told her i would be in either wed. or Thurs. and she said they would hold them until then. So, today I put all my old books into my backpack, so I can sell them back, and we ride over to the bookstore. 1) all the books I want to sell back cannot be sold back because those courses are getting new books (so now i have to put those 5 in my backpack and my new 7 in my backpack...ugh) 2) I go downstairs to get my new ones and the lady tells me after the first day of school all un-picked up orders get shelved...but since her co-worker instructed me wrong she would go find them all for me. 3) They had all but one...so i had to go to the main bookstore and get it there 4) I end up with 13 books in my bag and I am on my bike and am dying.... it was very interesting to say the least....but I hurried back to my dorm and dropped them all off and was free.
Then we went to the lake and after that back to Amanda's dorm. As soon as we got back we crashed. I put on the tv and we basically just laid there without moving for an hour, we were both dead. Then we had a snack (cheese, pepperoni and crackers...so good!) and played Wii!
After dinner I headed back to my dorm and hopped on the comp. I went onto facebook and had a little too much fun pranking Kristen. Had a heart to heart (in a good way) with Lindsey and one with Amanda. Cried in overwhelm (also in a good way) and am finally ready to settle down and go sleepy time.

Tomorrow I have playwriting, costuming and history. After those, going to hit the gym and write my "worst play ever."

So there you go. (In Greek accent, like in My Big Fat Greek Wedding)....(that is my new phrase right now)


Happy Slumber....and

Bon Appetit!
