Why don't you get a job?

This is the first email correspondence with potential employers saying that my application is being reviewed. This made me SO excited today because it's some place I could really see myself working - UNC Chapel Hill.

Let the games begin!

Everybody's working for the weekend

I am a BIG fan of to do lists. I find that writing things down helps me to remember to do things. I also love the feeling that I get when I cross something off a to-do list. This is stuff that I am supposed to do tomorrow. I KNOW that not all of it will be done tomorrow, and not all of it is a dire emergency.

Also, most of my to-do lists are never ending...I always seem to be adding more to them. But that's the fun of it, goal setting, planning - I definitely get a thrill from it. Makes me feel accomplished.

 I like baking, cupcakes specifically. I make people insanely jealous that live in my hallway whenever I make anything that smells good. This is a cookies & cream gigantic cupcake that is for a birthday tomorrow :)

Act of kindness for the day: sharing my AAA membership with a friend who needed a tow. You're welcome!

do do do do do do-do do, do do do do do do-do do

Ok...so I missed a day somewhere AND I'm behind, so doubling up on the next two days.

These are pictures from the #NEOHO13 RA conference. I am a nerd when it comes to these events and absolutely love them. The top picture is some of the girls on my staff and the bottom is of a session called minute to win it with an RA that I know from another campus. 

Although NEOHO has done a good job at filling it's spot. Nothing will compare to the Brockport RA conference. It is so well organized and the sessions are nothing but the strongest of quality. In the 6 that I have been to I have only NOT presented at one conference. (RA conferences, that is)

Hoping I have access to these at my next place of employment...if not, I'm making one!

Many will enter...few will win

Today...marks one of few days...I have accomplished something that many often attempt - but few are ever able to achieve. I pumped an EVEN amount of gas.

Seems insignificant...but hey - it's the little things :)

Brrr, its cold in here, there must be some torros in the atmosphere

This is a picture of the frozen tundra that is -10 degrees in Cleveland, Ohio. I like snow, and I believe it is easier to warm yourself up than to cool yourself down - so I don't mind it THAT much. But I'll tell you - my poor car! It feels like its a struggling in the cold weather. I like the winter, I like snow - but man is it cold. This was also the first time I hung out socially with some friends in Kent that offered to host as a hotel for the evening so that I wouldn't risk getting stuck in Cleveland and not be able to make it to class the next morning :)

And I ran...I ran so far away...

Today, I began my second run (pun intended) at attempting the couch to 5k program. I completed it in the fall in an effort to prepare for my first 5k. I am not preparing for anything this time, other than trying to become better than I was before. By the end of 8 weeks, I ended up only halfway to where I should have been at the end of the program. I was running a full 15 minutes at a time, but that was as far as I got. You should be able to run for 30 full minutes of the program.

I've never been good at running and ran my first full mile in the fall. Here's to hoping I can get through all the side stitches enough to make it to the ultimate end goal.
