Exhausted ~ Daily Log 3/7

It was so hard to get out of bed this morning; my room was warm and toasty and I was bundled up perfectly.  Plus I knew it was cold and rainy outside. But, life calls... I had to go to office hours, which wasn't too bad because I got some stuff done and for once this week, I didn't feel like I was about to pass out. 

Then when I got back home, I made some lunch and it all went down hill. I desperately wanted a nap.  Not only that, but I realized that I had to make it to lab today, which requires me to bike up hills in the rain.  I ended up taking about a half hour nap, got myself ready, and then made the trek.  My thighs were aching by the time I got here (to lab).  But hey, that's exercise of some sort, huh?

I really don't know what's happened to me. I can't just blame the weather forever.  I really wish I had someone in my life to keep me in check, and keep pushing me to go forward.  But I need to learn to do that for myself. 

I'm on call again tonight, and I'm going to try and resolve to ride my bike to address any calls I receive.  We will see how that works out, especially if its raining.

In other news, I'm going to watch the last episode of Breaking Bad tonight :D We watched 3 episodes last night, and I can't believe its almost over! Its nice to relax a bit, but I know I should also probably get some reading done or work on my essay a bit.  Its so hard to actually focus for such a long period of time without just wanting to chill with some wine and veg out on the couch.

"What Went Well" Exercise
1. I got some stuff together for one of my classes that I needed to, and I'm pretty sure after today I am finished with my responsibilities for the class for the rest of the quarter (yay! no final!)

• Why did this happen?  I have been doing a pretty good job of keeping afloat in this class.  I have a schedule down where every Thursday morning in my office hours I work on my articles, and I force myself to turn in a new article every week to make sure that I reach my 20 page minimum.

2. I've been organizing things for my other blog that I just started, http://drinkmedivine.blogspot.com/

• Why did this happen? In my positive psychology class, they teach us to focus on what makes us happy and then challenge ourselves to keep ourselves 'flourishing.' For the past year, I have really enjoyed tasting and trying new wine and beer.  By keeping track of what I taste, I not only keep an open diary to look back on what I liked and didn't like, but I'm also challenging myself into truly noticing and appreciating the unique differences between the different liquors. Its really fun! :)
