What a relief
I ended up finishing my paper at about 3am last night (technically, this morning.) The last hour was really tough, but I just wanted to be done with it and not have it hanging over my head. Definitely not my life's best work, but I did the best I could under the last-minute circumstances. I handed it in during class today and now I'm done! Yay!
I let myself sleep until about 10:30 this morning because I didn't get to bed until so late. I expected to still feel really tired but I actually felt okay. I split my run in half by stopping at the gym and lifting in the middle. I don't like usually like to do that because I get too low-blood-sugarish but I bought a Gatorade at the gym and that seemed to help. My knee felt good but my butt has been pretty sore. I'm sure it's all IT band related.
I considered going for a quick swim tonight but my tiredness was catching up with me and I had a lot to do before leaving for NY tomorrow. My mom is worried about me driving alone and wants me to leave as early as possible to miss the heavier rain that apparently is forecast for later in the day. So I guess I won't get a chance to sneak in a quick lifting session like I had wanted to...this week will have to be my "down" week since I've been so busy and off my normal routine. I absolutely hate changing my routine around (especially when it means working out less, of course) but I am trying to learn how to be more flexible.
Oh, I almost forgot my daily weather mention! As Alison mentioned earlier in the week (or was it last week?) there's nothing like a day when the weather's in the teens to make 45 degrees feel positively tropical. Especially to me. With the snow all melting and puddly, it was very springy out today, and tomorrow should be the same. I'm okay with the "heat" because I know it's only temporary--we are (or at least NY is) in store for cooler temps again this weekend.
Wow, the tiredness is hitting me now. Hopefully my laundry will hurry up so I can get to bed!
