Must run! Must run! That’s how I woke myself up this morning. Sometimes staying motivated to wake up at 5 am and run in this humid high altitude (the exact opposite of what I’m used to) is a little hard and this morning was one of those mornings. As hard as it can be some mornings I feel so much more awake for class and like Elle Woods would say “Endorphins make you happy”. So, after a nice run and the usual morning routine, I headed to class. After class and lunch with friends, I headed home for the afternoon to study. Tomorrow we have our first test, so I spent the majority of the rest of my day devoting myself to reading, reviewing and making my famous, nerdy, and overly organized flash cards. I’m sure when people see me reviewing before the test tomorrow they’ll make fun of my overachiever flashcards, but I’ve endured the “you’re a nerd” abuse since elementary school (thank you Grant Brink, you’ve made me who I am today…haha). After dinner, Mami and Pamela watched Grey’s Anatomy in my room while I reviewed my flash cards. I’d never seen Grey’s Anatomy so I was shocked when I saw that it took place in Seattle. Every time they’d show shots of Seattle, I’d point and get all excited and tell Mami and Pamela “that’s where I live!” After Grey’s was over, we all said goodnight and went to “planchar la oreja” (phrase here that means to go to sleep).
