lady pilots

so, it's finally friday. i went to work and japanese class, and now it's time for me to relax, unwind, and chill out before the big weekend.

thursday was a fine day. kris and i went to the gym in the morning, and on our separate ways for the day. it was a typical thursday: history class, oocs, media law and ethics, and the souvenir store. on the way home, i listened to jurassic 5, which got me in a dancing mood, and when i returned to the apartment, i danced around my room, chatted with mike, and did my japanese homework. and it was a good thing i did my japanese homework before practice....that comes later.

track practice went well. i think we're splitting up for practices for the rest of the season (i'm not really sure if that's true, but that's been the trend over the last week), and i think it'll be good for us to run together and to push each other. i'm really excited about the next few weeks....i can't believe we have six weeks (and a few days) before we're in georgia. that's crazy. anywho, we ran a mile of accelerating for 100 meters, jogging for 100 meters; agility, a one-mile cool down, and abs. i'm really glad that we have 15-20 girls who show up to every practice.

after practice, lisa, piper, kris, and i came back to the apartment to hang out, eat food, and talk girl talk. i would call it a prelude to ladies' night (it's tonight, by the way). we talked for about 2-1/2 hours. about lots of girl stuff. it was really nice to hang out with some of the lady pilots. i know that i haven't done enough of that over the last year, and i don't want to become best friends with each of them, i want to get to know them better so that they don't think i'm this elitist who thinks she's better than them. i don't want to be that. that's not cool. i really hope that tonight brings our team closer.

piper left at 12:45, and that was our cue to get to bed. we had to get up at 5:30 to go to the gym, so, it was bedtime. but not for me. i called mike at 1 just to tell him that i had a good night with the ladies, and we ended up talking for an hour and a half. it was the first time we talked in almost two months, and we had a really good conversation about a few topics. kind of weird that we talked for so long so late at night, but in the end, it was a good surprise.

i finally went to sleep around 2:30, woke up at 5:30, went to the gym with lisa and kris, ate breakfast at west with lisa, piper, kris, allison, jess, meghann, and claire (yeah we were all at the gym this morning....erin joined us for breakfast), showered, and went to the souvenir store to work. i worked until 12:30, then ran over to oocs to do a few things, eat lunch, and study for my quizzes. i went to class, which was very informative, and now i'm back in the apartment. i chatted with mike for a bit, and then started writing. now i'm done writing, and it's time for me to take a nap before tonight.

i'm really excited to hang out with the ladies tonight!

hooray for the lady pilots.
