I overslept!
For only the second time in my working-person (and grad student, actually) life, I overslept this morning. I still can't quite figure out what happened because my alarm looks like it was set and the volume was up. In any case, I went to sleep around 11 last night and the next thing I knew, it was 10am! I haven't slept until 10--or without an alarm, for that matter--in about as long as I can remember. I guess my body needed it.
First I couldn't figure out what day it was, and then I remembered and realized my first meeting (lunch) was at noon. I figured I had just enough time to run about 5 miles and get to my destination by then. It was hotter than usual since it was later than usual so I brought my water with me. I felt good for the first couple of miles, probably because of the adrenaline, and then not so great after that. I also had the hill up to the Cathedral in those miles, too. When I got home, I rushed to get ready and never really calmed down/stopped sweating.
I made it through the lunch meeting okay and then I had another, much more boring, meeting. I felt really groggy and realized I had a headache during that one. I never had my coffee today so I went to get some after that and it definitely helped. The dull headache has pretty much stayed with me, though...it was there tonight when I biked/lifted and still is. How could I feel crappy when I got so much sleep? It's possible I'm getting a cold or something, but I think the oversleeping threw my body off.
I'll end with this awesome excerpt of a convo that I overheard at the gym tonight between 2 guys. And if you don't know, Shabbat is the Jewish celebration of the Sabbath, which happens every Friday night.
Georgetown student #1: Hey, are you going to Shabbat tomorrow night?
Georgetown student #2: Nah, I don't think so.
#1: Why not? We gotta check out all the new girls...the fresh meat!
I had to laugh, I couldn't contain myself!
