Wow, its been so long since I last posted on this thing! Last semester flew by, I apologize for not writing like I should have been. You see I had a good reason, I was writing and editing my thesis. I have officially become Master Dana, I have the piece of paper now, they can't take it back!
This semester is going well. Just getting started in class, I'm taking one class this semester. I'm such a slacker from last semester, but I was supposed to take 2, but one was cancelled. I'm also getting my Ph.D. project ready and also getting my manuscript ready for publication. Its going to be another busy semester with the wedding coming up in June, getting a trial ready and getting a paper ready to be published. I'm up for the challenge though! You all know I've faced busier semesters than this and made it out smelling like roses and with sanity semi attached.
To add to this craziness, I'm getting back into the paint shows and training for a half marathon. Yes, you read that right, I didn't think I had enough on my plate so I added more. I bought my first show top in a long time. This means I have a dollar commitment in getting Charlie ready for our first breed show in 5 years. In addition, I'm still doing my bootcamp class (though I was a bad girl and skipped today, hey I couldn't get to sleep last night and 4:30 comes quick!). Combine all of this with running 4-5 miles two days a week with a long run once a week followed by a short run (2 miles or so) leads to one busy me.
Though a lot of this sounds nuts, I'm really excited for all the changes and challenges coming this spring. I'm excited to get my very first paper published. It will be a lot of work, but it will definately be worth it. I'm also really excited about my Ph.D. project, its really applicable for industry and its going to be really cool. More on that to come. I'm also going to knock something off of my bucket list this year, and that is run a half marathon. I'm mostly doing this to get into really good shape for the wedding, I'm also doing this to prove to myself that I can do it. I never thought I would be able to say 3 miles is an easy run, but I am. I ran 4 yesterday, it was hard, the last half mile was really hard. But, nothing like Won't Get Fooled Again to push you through your last half mile.
I'm going to try my best to document all of this in this blog. Stay tuned.
