We live in deeds, not years;
in thoughts, not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time
by heart-throbs.
They most live who think most -
feel the noblest - act the best.

Today I feel downright bleary. Two nights in a row of staying up just a tad too late. That said, a small amount of anxiety has been lifted off of me because I heard from P and he no longer seems mad about work things. But I am trying to remind myself that less anxiety ≠ a reason to slack off today.
Definites:
Go running (W2D4 of C25K)ShowerEat LunchFigure out student loan repayments (should do this first since it is causing me the most anxiety)Began this process, next steps are to call and see what I can do about lowering my payments.Clean the bathroom (sweep, wipe down)General kitchen tidyingkromer 12 CI
Today so far, I have done some laundry and gone to lab meeting. I need to:
Finish results, email to DP (bah! I lost my notes for this :( I'm hoping they are at home. I will look at home tonight and if I don't find it search like crazy at work tomorrow. In any case, I can't work on this until I get home tonight)
MU notes
Talk outline
30 min work on model figure. (working on this now)

Hello, everyone! I see we have so many new members, it's wonderful we have more fellows now :)

Yes, keep coming back here,

Find your "WHY"
I am choosing to finally start living for me. I am tired of coming in
last. I choose to create a life I can love, to be the person I am meant
to be, to work on improving myself so that I can do something worthwhile
with my life, and in the end, to help those less fortunate.
