I had a very nice week. I actually had stuff to do every night, which is a nice feeling. I still haven't really made much advancement on the schoolwork, but at least I'm happy. I had classes all day everyday except Monday last week and pretty much the same thing this week. I also made a concentrated effort to exercise 3 times last week on top of a couple heavy walking days. That always makes me feel better. I went for a jog today too. My goal is to be back to running 30 minutes without stopping by May 7th. I need to make sure I do lots of stretches and strengthening stuff so that my knee won't keep me from reaching my goal. Jesse has started running and is kind of doing it with me, which is also good motivation.
In addition to school and exercise last week, I finally talked to my brother on the phone after 2 1/2 months of limited e-mails and no phone calls. It was so nice to get caught up with him. It sounds like he's doing well, and that is very nice to know.
I had a tiny little bit of homesickness this week. I can't imagine not living in France right now, and I really want to stay, but it's weird to think about not seeing my friends and family at home for such long periods of time. So, is life I suppose. I'd love to have my cake and eat it to, but alas, a choice has to be made.
I also thought about my dad this week...in a good way. I have found several theatre people on Facebook and just found another one that I really liked when I was a kid. I was thinking about how he taught me to be open to people. I mean, he was very social and talked to all different kinds of people all the time. I have to think that some of my love of talking to strangers and appreciation of different people comes from that.
Ok, I think there was more, but I'm going to go get to stretching and strengthening and then try to get to bed. At some point I'm going to HAVE to be productive. Those damn papers just refuse to write themselves!
