Twix are for kids

Day 4 without consuming any chocolate... this is a really tough life for me, guys. If you know anything about me at all, it's that I used to eat at least one piece of chocolate (preferably dark) everyday. The day after I swore off chocolate (until race, at least) I gave away my 3 bags to the roomies, who happily received them.

So glad week 2 is over cause I've been working waay OT! I generally pile on the hours the first 2 weeks before midterms start, but this qtr was even worse with one of the aides at the clinic out, recovering from heart surgery. It's gonna be another 2 weeks before she comes back... going.. over.. load! ah! So Weds was a super super long day that started at 715 and ended at 8 pm. and how do i reward myself? by taking a shot of 151. not only did it burn all the way down, but the sensation lasted for at least an hr. and i only did this because i thought i had done it before, but nope. learned my lesson.

I've spent the last 2 days sorting old emails because once I linked my ucla account to my gmail, it transferred everything and labeled it at unread, basically overloading my inbox. it was fun and nostalgic re-reading old dboat emails about pre/post race, parties, farewells, etc. glad i found those and "marked as dboat".. now i'll know exactly where to find them!

Time to fume about FLYAWAY!! I've taken it plenty of times before and it's always, always left ON THE DOT and they wouldn't open doors for people even if they were chasing the bus. So today I hustled my butt from work to my apt, back to ackerman to return/buy books, and then to kinross in less than an hr! Thought i made it in time for the 6pm flyway but minutes passed and it showed up at 615ish. after everyone loaded, the bus driver who was SUPPOSED to leave at 6 showed up and decided to take off right away w/o taking any passengers, leaving our bus to deny the leftovers waiting. Our bus driver took forever just to get the bus going. 405 traffic was surprisingly light for a friday evening... it was the surface streets near the airport that was horrendous. He made some wrong turn that detoured us for at least 20 mins, only to come back to the same street we had turned off of. Managed to get to the airport at 740 for my 755p flight. Rushed through all the lines (thank you LAX security!) and got on the plane just in time for take off. Flyaway, you have disappointed me.

It's Friday night of a 3-day weekend. I really wish i were in LA right now. =( I'm really reallly sad I won't be able to practice this weekend either. Double =(
