grad school begins...

So, I sat down to do my homework...and that just didn't happen. Well, that's okay because now I can write about life which is so much more fulfilling anyway. So grad school is hard. Oh, and if you didn't know, I'm not in Kentucky. Yes, I managed to find myself back in Provo. AGAIN. I hope to one day get out. Actually sooner than later. But, BYU is a good place. I'm doing the MPP program. It's very time intensive and I have had many many second thoughts since starting. Alas, I continue to study and study, work, and run. Yes, I ran a marathon!! I was so proud that I did it. It meant a lot to me personally because I have felt so uncommitted lately, and this was something that I said I would do. And I did it. 26.2 miles later I had a hurt foot (which I found out later I pulled a major ligament during the first part of the race), swollen knees and ankles, aches and pains, and the priceless feeling of victory! It was great. Anyway, no more gloating. I realized life is great because I can do anything right now. It is quite liberating, although lonely at times. I am excited for Natalie's return. And for fall. Can I just say how much I love fall? I love fall. I love the seasons. and the leaves. and the colors. Summer is too warm, winter is too cold, but fall is perfect. That's all.
