Got woken up by my sister this morning dark and early at 5:00, since I'd promised her last night I'd go running with her. It's not really hot yet that early in the morning, but we both pushed ourselves, most notably by me getting a cramp in my toes. ow ow ow. Hobbling around the house trying to work it out while waiting for the shower, I felt more alive than I have in a while. In a weird way, I like working out not simply because it gets me on the road to a "fab" body or the health benefits, but the soreness of my muscles reminds me that they're still there and being used.

This pain philosophy doesn't carry over so well into relationships, methinks. It maybe could explain however howsome people don't feel their relationship is actually anything meaningful unless there is bickering,fighting, or tension in the relationship.

This week looks to be pretty busy, with two tests today, working the college republican table three days this week, and my birthday this weekend. I'm a little amused at my friends who think they're getting me "trashed" this weekend since it's my 21st. Not gonna happen, work spoils all the fun because I have to be at work at 7 and 8am on sat and sunday respectively.

I miss not having the time or brainpower for personal writing at the moment. So much of my energy is taken up with thinking about classes, by the time I get home and get the reading and assignments out of the way, then work out for an hour, I'm so mentally exhausted I can't even form coherent sentences half the time. Maybe in my downtime today between my class that will finish early because of the test and having to tutor I can let my mind wander. I feel the healthier for it when I do get a chance to write.
