This week hasn't been very eventful, but I did start running again. I ran occasionally with my friend Xiao when I was at school, and he always kicked my butt, so I figured I should start running again if I wanted to keep up.
I got in 8 miles this week, including 3 miles yesterday. I've always been susceptible to shin splints, so I'm only going to run every other day, but I figure that's enough. I don't want to run a marathon or anything. Yesterday was my first time running 3 miles nonstop since April, and it was way hard. I wanted to quit when I was less than halfway done, but I powered through, because I'm incredibly awesome like that. I finished under 24 minutes, too (barely), which was my goal. That's not super fast, but I wasn't feeling great and I haven't been running in months so I think that's aight. When I ran a 5k in 9th grade I don't think my time was under 30, so I guess I'm faster than I used to be.
Anyways, things are pretty slow here, and there's not much else to tell. I finally got my financial aid package today, after three or four days of freaking the hell out because I only got one scholarship, but it turns out Tulane gave me more money this year than they did last year, so I get to stay at Tulane and don't have to be $30,000 in debt before my 20th birthday. Life is good.
17 days until I leave fer Nawlins!
