Wogging

So I went wogging today.
I think I did pretty well for my first time.

Wogging Tutorial:
(or at least, how wogging went for me)
1. Jog at a "reasonable pace" until stitch forms in side (what are those anyway?)
2. Walk until breathing ceases to hurt.
3. Repeat.

I was out about a half hour. I feel as though I could have lasted a bit more, however, I had arrived back home.
That's the thing about outdoor wogging...you gotta plan out a good route (which, I did not).
Or you risk not going as long as you could...
Or worse still, you wog until your little body can wog no more, and then you're nowhere near home and must then drag your sorry sweaty self all the way back.

Can you tell I like using the word "wog?"

Tomorrow: I have to go to this EHS Lab Safety Training. That's the benefit of working in two different labs in two different institutions...two sets of lab safety training.
Example: How to NOT get stuck with disposed sharps...Do NOT put hands into sharps containers.
Do NOT dispose of chemicals in sinks.
*sigh*

In other news, my boobs are shrinking. :-(

B-Beep Beep B-Beep Beep, Go Bayside!

So, I haven't really been a big "blogger" if you will...but I kinda feel like if I chronicle this insanity of my life, I might be less stressed out? Yes?
To start: Coming up before the end of 2008, which regardless of what you might think really is just around the corner...
I am taking the GRE and GRE psychology exams, on September 19 and October 18, respectively.
I am writing a 20 page APA style paper over the research I have been doing this summer and will be doing this fall in a developmental psychobiology lab.
I am applying to 4 (for sure, maybe 5) graduate school programs.
And I am taking 11.5 credits this fall to graduate in December.
Yes, this is all school stuff...and unfortch, it really does take up most of my time, despite me not actually being in any classes right now.
And then: There's life...
My cat has a cold. :-(
My wonderful boyfriend is scoring a documentary which is really freakin' cool. But stressful, for him.
My friend Angela is in town this weekend, yay!
I've been having a wonderful time going out with my friends and the boy and doing nice non-drinking things, like rowing in Central Park.
I've been eating healthy and working out, and I've lost 9 lbs in the last month.
My cousin told me about "wogging" and I think it's rad.

I am so overwhelmed sometimes, knowing what is looming in my very near and rapidly approaching future, but at the same time, all the amazing opportunities that I am being faced with make me feel alive in a way I haven't in years.
I am so lucky to live in this city that I love with a man whom I love.

Okay, just completely lost my train of thought, it's getting late, and I will end this. Done.
