So I Just Signed Up for a Half Marathon

So just about thirty seconds ago I signed up for the Lake Minnetonka Half Marathon on May 2nd, so whoever is back should join me or at least cheer me on! I can't believe I did that, but I guess it is the part of me that is trying to be more spontaneous this year.

Other than that things have been pretty tame here. The other night half price apps were super fun. We had a group of nine people, which is pretty huge if you think about what it was last year. Friday night I had to babysit and I made seventy dollars for five hours! But I wanted to go to the comedy thing at Coffman, but I didn't get done in time, but Jackie, Alex, Sam, and Cal went. Once they were done with that I met Sam and Cal back at their apartment and Cal and I played cards while Sam emailed Danielle. So far there is nothing going on tonight, so I guess I should get on that and plan something, but what is there to do....maybe I will go to exploreminnesota.com and see if there are any good ideas...maybe the winter carnival? I have no idea. All I know is that I am sick of being in my apartment and just want to get out and enjoy life.

Also, a side note, I have decided that there will be no more consumption of alcohol in my life. I just don't like how I feel and I work out hard during the week and I don't want it to go against that. AND I have way more fun having an energy drink and I feel just as buzzed, but there is no hangover or regretting things that I have done.

Another side note, I think I am going to shadow Mike to one of his IT classes to see what the IT guys are like because I am so bored with my life right now. Now don't get me wrong I love the friends and things that have been going on, but I also want something more to fill in my life. My life has never been about school and for me to have the thought that this semester in the times I am not with my friends I could study does not sound like something that I want. My mom laughed when I told her about going out and finding an IT guy, I am so sure she thinks I am crazy too, but I want a guy who I don't have to compete with for school, grades, and a job and an IT guy is also smarter than me, which I like that idea and they can build stuff! Anyways nothing like that will probably happen, but my life is boring with school and the typical stuff and I am just looking for ways to entertain myself.

I think that I have made the decision to go to Cali this summer. First of all because I can get a good paying internship out there, the weather is super nice, I can possibly do the San Fran Marathon's half marathon, and I can join the running club every wed night and if I run one hundred miles I get a free t-shirt. I feel like also as hard as I have been fighting it, my life is moving out there. I really don't want to work in MN as much as I love the snow, but northern California's economy is so much better and I can drive to my favorite place on Earth, Lake Tahoe. The more I sit here and type the more that becomes something I want to do....hmmmm. The people out there are super nice too and they aren't fake about getting to know you and people are more active, which is something I like. I also like being up in the hills and having amazing views and people being more relaxed. Sounds like that is my plan for the summer, I am moving out there! I like it... I have no reason for staying here, so why not.

Sweet, well now that I have a goal for May and a plan for summer I feel set! And i need to go work out! Hope everyone else is having a successful and fun time abroad!
