Had that been real, I would be dead


The school did a fire drill this morning, since students are gone. We assumed it was just a test of the emergency fire alarm system so the few of us in the building simply stood on the front steps and waited. Then a guy came out of the building and told us that next time, we should stand across the street as not to die by flames. Well yeah, but come on: it’s about 40 degrees outside and we knew it was fake.

ANYway, the weekend was fairly uneventful: Elliot slept well, I got to watch a movie (American Gangster), and we went to eat a few times. Mostly, I got to relax. I’m still tired today though. Just a hazard of it being Monday, I suppose. And, somehow, I am still sore from yoga on Thursday. It’s ashtanga yoga which apparently a little more rugged than what I am used to. I can do most of the poses but I did feel the burn all weekend. I am also kind of glad there won’t be a class this Thursday, since I don’t want/need to be sore for this coming weekend’s 5k.

I feel like there’s something coming up this week that I am unprepared for. It’s kind of knocking at the back of my mind saying “hi, you’re going to remember me at the last minute.” I do have some stuff coming up like Easter weekend, when the Boy and I are going to see my grandparents.  Also, the same day as the 5k I have a Tupperware party to attend. (I know, SO domestic.) Time is passing ever so quickly and I can never catch up.

I’m going to try to catch up, though, on some things while I am here in the quiet of my office during Spring Break. I should really learn to utilize the time I am given. For those of you on break, hope you enjoy it. For those of you working, suck, eh?

  1. It is the suck. You know, I miss being in my undergrad program because you really cherised spring break. I don’t get spring break with this master’s program. And somehow, I feel kind of cheated.

    I can’t believe it’s 40 there. It’s a lovely 58 today in Portland. 🙂
