Finals Are Ruining My Posts

Workout:
Sunday: Ran 3.4 miles in 27:56. It wasn't too bad of a run and I felt pretty good. I'm shaving my times down slowly but surely, though :)
Tuesday: Ran 5.2 miles in 45:37. My left shin was complaining from mile 2 to mile 3. It wouldn't shut up. And then due to the pollen in the air, my asthma decided to say hello too. The run kinda sucked but I pushed through. You don't need to know how many times I stopped to walk...

Today my poor, poor car Fifi (have you realized yet that I name everything?!) gets a brand new windshield. I'm excited because there are 4 large bird poop spots on it, as well as nasty tree sap, and this means I don't have to clean any of it off! Hooray! I've had issues with the windshield too when it rains. It got this splotchy effect that made it really hard to see in the rain, no matter how much I cleaned it. The only thing that sucks about this, besides having to pay a deductible (I think the rock should owe me money), is that I have to wait around my house from 1-5 PM until Mr. Windshield Man comes to fix Fifi.

It's at least 4" long and growing...TWSS.

I wish I had more to tell you guys but I really should go start studying. I have a final tomorrow, 2 on Thursday, and one more on Friday. I'm planning on living in the library. As soon as finals are over, you'll have more fun things to read about, I promise! Good luck to everyone who has finals right now or coming up! We can make it!

May the force be with you!

Music Monday

Are you surprised I remembered that today is a Monday and that I'm actually posting a video when I'm supposed to?! I most certainly am shocked! I hope you all are having great Mondays! Mine got interesting really quickly when I was on the freeway this morning. A huge rock flew into my windshield and now I have a 3" and growing crack :( It's getting replaced tomorrow and thank God for insurance because I'd have to pay almost $400 if I didn't have it! There's a reason why having auto insurance is a law!

I love this song by Keri Hilson. It's so empowering. I think we all need a confidence boost, especially when it comes to looks. On any given day, you can ask me if I think I'm pretty and I'll say yes, which always surprises people. But I see nothing wrong with loving myself and thinking I'm the coolest thing since slicest bread. If I don't support and encourage myself, who will? I have to believe I'm worth it in order for others to believe it too. This doesn't mean I'm cocky or arrogant one bit. I just know my strengths and weaknesses and I love myself as much as possible. Yes, I can be an even better person, as we all can, but we also have to accept ourselves for who we are and love ourselves regardless. Even though I may have acne (thank you prescription topical gel!), have a bigger nose than I want, frizzy hair that gets worse in humidity, and I don't have long, lean legs, this doesn't make me less of a person than Giselle Bundchen. She has her flaws too. We're all beautiful in our own amazing ways and we need to learn to recognize how incredible we all are.
