baaaaaaa (humbug)
i'm drinking christmas blend from a red cup with a hot sleeve adorned with some design that i guess is supposed to be christmas-y festive. why does it have to start so early? i guess i could just avoid it, not buy that starbucks friday treat, but why should i suffer because of some poor marketing decisions? i figure i'd buy it anyway, so i'm not really contributing to the 60 days of christmas (on the 58th day of christmas, my true love gave to me...). i really shouldn't talk, i did just buy starbucks. but i'm addicted...the first step is admiting you have a problem.
so, the past few weeks have had me deep in thought about just what it is i'm after in life. i decided that i've been kind of floating on through just because it is familiar to me...comfortable. i decided that i needed to make a list, a blueprint if you will, of the things that i think will lead me to some ultimate satisfaction...most of this was professionally. time to shake things up.
it's time to go back to school, first because i really want to go back to school. i want to learn things, and i think i'd be a much better student now than i was in college. second, i want to increase my earning power. it's a fact that scientists aren't the top earners around, and i'm hoping to wring a little bit more green out of the industry. i'm also going to be working towards a shift back into the biology world (specifically biotech). i've missed it and this is where the groundbreaking stuff is, and madison is a hotbed. seriously one of the top places to be nationally. i should take advantage of that fact.
it's going to snow today. and it looks like it outside. here's to snowballs thrown at airedale terriers.
my run last night felt really good. wrapped it up with high knees, butt kicks and some strides. man do i have slow feet...once i get up to speed i'm ok but it takes awhile. practice, practice, practice.
