Today I broke my best mile time, EVER. I feel like a slug by announcing this, but prior to today I had never been able to run a mile faster than 8:20. Meaning that every Saturday for 3 years I had to run the mile after basketball practice because my time wasn't fast enough for my position. I still get flashbacks to those Saturdays every now and again. Today I ran it in 7:59.
You would think that would be the highlight of my day, but, I came home to find out I was selected to win a free pizza from Papa John's. Before my mission I hated pizza, because I hate tomato sauces (which includes ketchup). I had no idea there was such a thing as a pizza without red sauce until I had more pizza then my entire life combined in Hong Kong. In HK I often enjoyed a pizza with Thousand Island dressing for sauce (don't knock it until you've tried it). Now that I'm back in the States, my weapon of pizza choice is Papa John's. I won't go anywhere else because I absolutely LURVE their garlic sauce.
Today has turned out to be truly amazing and it's not even 3:30.

Another Failed Attempt at the Future
After reading my friend Jessica's blog, I was really excited to hear back from Teach for America. I had been through the grueling application process, and was waiting with anticipation to hear whether they would accept me or not. Well, they didn't accept me.
I'm a strong believer that darkness proceeds light. Something amazing is coming my way, I can feel it.

Losing My Marbles
I think I'm losing my mind, or at least it may be early on-set Alzheimer's.
I have been having nauseous and migraines for the past couple of days (and we all know I'm not pregnant), so I did what all girls do and called my mom. She told me that she thinks my diet lacks protein. So, with her encouragement and instructions because I didn't know how to make them (literally), I boiled 6 eggs. Then I put them in a container and into the fridge, or so I thought. I went to eat some for dinner tonight and I can't find them anywhere. I searched the entire fridge three times now. I searched the freezer. I searched the cupboards. I'm out of places to search.
I thought maybe my roommates used them, but they have no idea what I was talking about. In fact, Caroline asked me what kind of eggs because she thought maybe I was making a reference to my ovaries.
Losing my mind at 24? Possibly. At least I still know where the candy is.

Just one of those days...
Today I was violated by a 11 year old at work and then had to tell my co-workers about what happened. I kept blushing, which made everything more embarrassing. Not the shy blushing or crush-talking-to-you blushing, but horrible full red and hot faced blushing. What's wrong with me? I thought blushing and acne were supposed to stop when I turned 18.
Also today, while running on the treadmill, I threw-up and had to swallow/chew it down in order not to make a scene. I think it was karma because I ate my roommates candy without asking her. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups aren't as good the second time around.
