Yes...mmm hmmmm

So basically, 10 minutes until vacation for a few days. My projects take a long time and no sense in getting started on one.

Going to get some hiking shoes after I leave here and maybe some other various stuff. We'll see, I don't want to spend a ton of money, but somehow hiking a 14er doesn't sound appealing in running shoes. I have some desire to get really good at climbing and perhaps do a more technical climb than just hiking one of these days. Silly dream to chase though since I don't live near mountains.

Last few things I need to do are clean, pack, and run possibly. Scary thing to pack in tulsa and leave immediately. If I forget anything I'm totally screwed. Oh well, I'll just have to be careful.

Might try to hang out with Ryan tonight, but I don't know what time I'll get in. Really hard to say. Guess it wholly depends on how long or if I run and shower. I'm undecided at this point. I had a record day (for this summer anyway) and got about 3.5 miles in before my legs were giving out and my stride became irregular. I want to work up and beat my previous mark of 7.5 miles. Man I ran a long way that day. I get bored on these runs for some reason. I think it was more fun running around campus than it is running on the trail here in Tulsa.

I again started thinking about going back to school to get a mathematics degree. I was always really good at math (I thought) and I would like to have the degree as more of an accomplishment for myself. I might use it for tutoring or something for some extra cash. I just don't want to pay for it and I don't know if my workplace will pay for whatever I want no matter what it is. I think they do. I would do it over the course of a few years and only math classes. I never want to write another paper in my life or have to read anything extensively. That reason is probably why I liked math to begin with. No reading and immediate results. This is far away from engineering too. I don't think I could do college over again. My motivation and brain is completely spent still.

Well, it's getting to be about that time to leave. Thank goodness. I don't necessarily need a vacation from work, but it will still be nice to get out of here for a few days before I become swamped with these huge projects.

I don't think anyone but Ryan reads my blog, but comment puhlease if you read and give me your blog addy so I can comment and read about your life. It's amazing how much you can learn from other people.
