red red whine

So, here it is. My first whine about school:
Aww man, why do I have so much homework!
It's kickin my butt already. I can't believe I'm complaining about homework again, but I've got about 8 hours of homework to do, all due by 2PM tomorrow, and I've already been working all day. All day, I tell ya!

Heh. So, what is it, mid-October? It took me 1 and a half months before I officially started complaining about homework. Actually, I'm quite proud of myself. Up until now, I've been pretty on top of my game, getting everything done on time, and sometimes even early. Now, it's all starting to creep up on me. Serves teddy right. The official recommended schedule for a 1st year PhD student here at UT is 9 credits a semester, that's considered a full load when you factor in all the reading and homework.

I'm signed up for 11 credits. Plus the research I'm doing (which still isn't very much) adds somewhat to my workload. Suddenly, teddy's a busy guy! How'd that happen?

Oh, on a somewhat unrelated note. Yesterday, Sunday, Oct. 16, I ran a 10-mile race!
Whoo-hoo! I finished strong, 1 hour and 34 minutes total. And the best part: I finished FASTER for the last half. I felt great, ready to run another mile or two at the end. I wasn't even sweating as hard as all the people around me . . . However, in the big picture, I finished 727th place, out of like 1200. Which is, um, like, for all of you good at math out there, like in the 2nd half of the pack. Oh well, there's always room for improvement. Check, check, it out!

But but but, wait.
Yesterday, I had an epiphany!
Yes, yes. It's been a long time since I've had one of those.
I'm not gonna tell you any more, but let's just say, God's got his hands deep into molding my life right now. It's made me hap-hap-happy!
More on this, later, baby.
Oh yeah.
