I may have googled "escort services" (sorry NSA) and sent him the yellow pages link.

 

I'm so proud of you.

Yay for the running clearance!  And impressing your doctor!

 

Sorry to hear your schedule got all fucked up - I think you probably made the best of a bad situation by working on something due later in the week (I totally would have just procrastinated some more, so good on you!).  Hope the class goes well today and isn't totally useless!  Maybe you can do some other assignments during the class if it is?  Also, is the prof going to push back the deadline since she took so long to return the papers?

Well I did stop reading and watch Deadpool too lol. No chance of the paper getting pushed back, but I'm okay with that. My plan is to work on it tonight in class as much as possible. I'm not super worried about it anymore, just annoyed that it exists and that it's been such a shitshow all semester long.

On another note, I found our shirts for the Spartan!

 

I also found this one which made me laugh really hard:

[fleaball]

DUDE. Seriously can we do the banana shirt? I'm not kidding I will wear the shit out of that. The other one is funny but I don't lift =P

[NeverThatBored]

That banana shirt is great. You guys should totally wear them.

I hope neon yellow doesn't make me look awful lmao but I'm still all for it. It'll wind up covered in mud anyway. 

 

So class tonight was not actually terrible. It was partly a waste of time but kind of helpful when I actually decided to read my paper. (At first I was like "look I haven't had time to work on it and I'd rather do it myself over the weekend." But then some people were getting good feedback on figuring out their argument so I figured what the hell.) On the plus side, the prof was like "maybe you'll wind up asking a question that can't be answered right now, and that's okay if you present it well." Hooray, license to bullshit. The other folks in the class had some good insights but they weren't related to the posts I'd already collected so I can't use them. (I could. But that means trolling through tumblr attempting to find something related and uh, nope.) Buuut it occurred to me that we're supposed to write this more or less in a normal conversational tone, and since y'all have said before that I sound like that here, I'm totally gonna pretend I'm writing it at you. Which will probably have me giggling to myself most of the time. Whee.

I can't think of a time when I will ever actually need to use this gif, but it needed to be shared.

It's sold on etsy for $20, so we could always ask if they would do a different color (I don't think neon yellow is a good color for me either).

 

Here is the shirt link.

This!  Actually post it here - we'll read!

All I wanna do is watch last night's Supernatural but I'm gonna be a grownup instead and do homework that I should've done two weeks ago before going to school. I'll catch up with everyone later tonight.

If I do that you're legally obligated to give critical feedback. But okay. I'm hoping to get it done over the weekend, so I'll toss it in a google doc when it's ready.

Man, I look away for three days and I miss a lot.

In lieu of saying anything more substantive: that banana shirt is a beautiful thing. I want one. Badly. Ideally not in a color that glows in the dark.

 

Edit: an alternative version on a site with lots of color options

Noooo don't give me more shirts to buy. I need to get a job first. D: 

 

I'm really tempted to go for the neon yellow just for the sheer level of obnoxious. Not even gonna lie.

All the better to wear with neon running shoes.

I refuse to wear my pretty shoes to the Spartan. No thanks. I did do my first 5k in a neon green tank top though. And I think gray shorts with neon pink stripes up the sides. Because I am obnoxious.

If I ever do a race or something with @RES this is our team shirt. Calling it now.

 

 

 

Also I'm sorry, I'm imagining this one as Jesus chasing you, not like you're supposed to run to whereever he is. 

 

 

...it's 2 am. Go to bed, Flea.

Housekeeping thing: changing my food goal to one vegan meal per day for this challenge. Mostly because more often than not lately I've only been eating two meals a day period (not good, obv) so that goal magically changes from "easing myself into it" to "holy shit I have to go all-in." 

 

Today was another meh day. Didn't get out of bed til 1. Did laundry, so there's that. Then watched NCIS and two veganish documentaries and now I just want a giant salad made with things I can't pronounce. Did my ankle exercises, went and sat on the back porch for five minutes once I accepted that there was no way I'd be forcing myself to get outside and run errands today. I cannot believe it's almost 10pm right now. I don't have much to show for it. So I'm 3/4 for goals today. (Ironically, had 2 vegan meals without trying.) Kinda want to just read fanfic right now but I'm trying to talk myself into picking off some of the shorter homework tasks I scheduled for other days. I did just spend half an hour looking for summer jobs but they all suck. :\ Like, I could probably get a shitty retail job just for the sake of a paycheck, but that's not really going to help in the long run. Rawr. 

 

Okay. Off to do... something idk.

[fleaball]

Oh hey, I got like a page and a half of last semester's stats final written. The whole thing is only 9-14, 3-5 of which is research/theory/lit review/etc. So technically I'm 17% done, although that was just word vomit and I kinda still need to do the research and the actual statistical analysis. And hope to god I actually remember how to do it. But I should be okay, because the method I'm using is the one we learned in the week where I mysteriously kicked ass, if anyone remembers that far back lmao.

 

Okay. General progress was made. Too bad I had that scheduled for 2 weeks from now. Tomorrow I should really do the grocery shopping I didn't do earlier in the week, and for reals have to do the stupid anthropology paper you're all apparently dying to read.

It doesn't sound that bad to me: veg meals, laundry, taking care of your ankle, being outside... and well rested
