A Guy would be Lucky to Come in Fourth

Sometimes I honestly think the quad's relationship is verging on slightly unhealthy - the quad being Al, Anya, B and I. Today I was walking from the GSU to the beach and I saw Al come around the corner - and I knew it was her even before I realized it was her because my heart skipped a beat when I saw her bright turquoise running shirt. It took all my restraint not to squeak an "eek!" and run up to her. I had to at least PRETEND I wasn't stoked out of my mind to see her when it wasn't planned.
Same thing happened this morning when I saw Anya behind me in line at Starbucks, literally got so excited I almost jumped up and down. I think it gets even more intense because I NEVER get to see my girls anymore.
Gone are the 3 hour dinners every single night of the week and sitting in each other's rooms for hours on end laughing at our weekends of debauchery...we actually had to grow up this year and we all have resume-building lives - how boring.
B is always folding panties at VS or doing her Dean's host thing, Al is consumed with enough SMG flash projects to put B on the path to an early death, and Anya is always off doing her Med campus/insane graduate classes thing...I'm to blame, too - when do I NOT have my ass on Dr. Jones or selling running shoes at Citysports or doing whatever I do at Harvard Lab? And lately my entire being is dedicated to China - they own as much of my soul as they do USD.
Haha...oh goodness my little economic jokes, however lame they are, make me giggle =)
But the awesome thing is, no matter how much I see my girls - if it's every night or, like last week with what happened with Anya, once in five days - I know they're there no matter what. And they have first priority over anyone on this campus - or even off this campus.
I honestly feel sorry for every other girl on campus, they don't have best friends half as unbelievable as mine.

Speaking of my girl, time for dinner with my Al!
(Go ahead and smile Al, I know you're reading this, you celeb =)

love love love,
me

Ps. A yellow jacket just landed on me. I don't mind in the least, it means spring is here to stay!!! Time to come out of hibernation!!! I named him Alphie.

Stop Shoulding all over yourself

Yesterday I went on Cor Jesu's Vivare "young alumni" retreat. My friend from high school Katie posted it on my wall a few weeks ago and tagged a couple other CJ sisters to the post and it struck my interest. I haven't done a single thing with CJ since I graduated and somewhere between moving to Boston and joining the triathlon team my Catholic past was put on the backburner. I figured I had nothing to lose except a Saturday and at the very least I'd get to hang out with my friends so I signed up and sent in my $25 without much thought.  I've never been the most devout Catholic. Most times in church I'm scanning the crowd for familiar faces, zoning out, and making Target lists- and that's if I go at all. Sunday is usually run-day...or ski day. Or sleep in day. Or study day. Or vacuum day. Whatever day it is...it's rarely church day. Despite being raised by two Catholic parents, going to a Catholic grade school and a Catholic high school, going o...

A Near Miss

I may have spoken too soon when I said that Kirkwood library was my spot. Here I am comfortably doing my speech-pathology work when out of nowhere: We took the square route of this and put it here and here and put it there and there.  My ears tuned in and I raised my head. I sniffed the air and suspiciously scanned the area. Yep. Math. Immediately I broke out in a sweat. Hands started shaking. Eyes twitched. Jaw clenched and neck twisted. Vomit literally came up my esophagus. Pavlov conditioning in it's purest form.  So this times this gives you this and this times this gives you that.  Focus, Katie. Hmm....a 2 year old with hearing loss who is struggling with some final consonant deletion, some stopping of fricatives, some devoicing? Now that, I am good at.... Now do you see inside your parenthesis that there is a difference of squares? No I don't see, lady. That past is long behind me and I'm never going back.  Right now I'm transcribing, identifying ...

First mountain bike ride = SUCCESS! Rex and I rode 18 miles this morning. We did the Logan river trail for about 14 then we rode around town stopping into some bike shops looking at pedals and mountain biking shoes. It'll be a few weeks before I actually buy a pair but I want to get an idea of what's out there - just like road cycling, clipless pedals change everything. With regular pedals, the rider can only get movement forward by pushing down. With clipless pedals, the rider's foot is attached to the bike so you can push down and pull up, which makes climbing and accelerating completely different. I absolutely love my pedals on Mr. Mac so Rex should have a pair, too. The ride was awesome though. The thing I like about mountain biking is that it's a nice blend between trail running and road cycling. You get to the distance of cycling but you get to be close with nature like you do running. It's absolutely perfect. I even had my very first crash today! I w...
