today's adventure...

the pool is officially GROSSING me out...
so i decide to try working out on the elliptical machine instead.
3 minutes into it...i think...i'm SO not prepared to do more of this...
but 3 minutes is not enough to constitute anything remotely close to a workout
so i persevere.
at 6 minutes, i'm thinking...i have to cut this short...and stop looking at the clock.
at 8 minutes, i'm thinking...Praise Jesus...I'm almost done.
at 9 minutes, i counting down the seconds and wishing they'd past faster.
at 10 minutes, my legs are like jelly and my heart is racing faster than when i'm in the pool.

but i guess i'm a glutton for punishment...i think i'll go back tomorrow for another 10 minutes.

off to the Dominican Republic I am.
to see prayer requests try here

so i have to sit in these education coordinating committee meetings with the faculty.
and most of time, i don't have a whole lot to say.
generally, it's fairly dull.
of course, when things aren't interesting...i start drifting off.
except there's no one to keep me awake.
so i do battle on my own.
today, i was proud that i didn't actually fall asleep.

thankfully, the program coordinator who takes notes at these meetings tells me that i can sit next to her and she will make sure i stay awake.

this is good b/c at the last mtg, the dean came and talked on and on and i was sitting right across from her...
