Happy Earth Day.

I excitedly started telling Chris earlier today about how nice things because it's been a year since I had to worry about finals.

Then, I remembered that I've spent the whole last week freaking out and hustling to get this programming final done, working, and turned in.

Guess times haven't changed.

In any case, I'm done now. Yay! One less thing to worry about.

Still doing that Eowyn's Challenge thing, but I hadn't entered three entries. These days, I only am really able to do walk/runs/hikes 2 or 3 times a week. The other days are doing weights at the gym, elliptical, walking the treadmill, or doing whatever exercise comes to mind. Sometimes swimming.

In any case, apparently I hit the 200 mile mark some time last week. For reference in the book, I'm somewhere in the Marshes. I don't know. Am in some stretch of the book where they do a lot of camping. I think one of the next big highlights is Sam singing a song. I think it's going to be another 100 miles before anything interesting happens again.

Whoever keeps on setting off fireworks in this area really needs to stop. I have to console the brave dog every time this happens.

Being that I've had generally good experiences meeting celebrities and/or people I idolize, I was kind of disappointed to find out that Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) was kind of a butt.

I actually got myself to go kickboxing today. It hurts. I'm sore. And I looked so gross leaving the gym. Yet, somehow, I feel great. I should do this more often.

Why did it take me so long to start listening to the Magnetic Fields? Bought their most recent album on a whim and I think I'm in love.

April Fool's. I know it happens every year, but I fall for something every year. I never fail to fall for at least the first few items on the EFF's April Fools newsletter. I also kind of want the fake thing that Google comes up with every year. This year was some Google multitask feature.

Arms are also sore because of an hour of playing Just Dance 3 yesterday.

Time for gardening with Chris.

If you donate at least $30 to Mozilla right now, you get a shirt. I've been a big Mozilla fan since 2004, not just because I like their browser, but also because of the ideology behind the organization. It's just taken me forever to do something about it. I guess now I have a t-shirt to show how much of a fan I am. Yay!

Finished the programming midterm around ten last night. I guess it was partially my fault for not checking, but a reminder even on Saturday evening would have made me start it a tad bit earlier. So dumb. On the other hand, in that panic induced programming fest, I realized that I've retained a lot more knowledge about programming than I thought I had.

I've got a lot of things going on these days. For some reason, the fact that I don't have an actual legal job means that I think I can pile on endless other activities. They are all doubt fun and rewarding, but they keep me so busy. I don't think I got to bed before 2 at all last week. Trying to change that this week, but who knows if that'll happen. Well tonight instead of working on the proposal I'm supposed to write up, I sent out a really cool job app, did my second round of author edits, fixed up privacy law blog post that's going up in the am and did some work on a pro bono case that I've taken on. Actually, you know what? I actually got stuff done with this proposal as well. I guess I'm just awesome like that. Maybe.

Hm. Apparently I have a programming midterm due at midnight tonight. ...Way to drop a ball.
