• All that and a bag of chips?

  Definitely NOT.

  I don't know why these are so popular.  These chips are NOT good and they sell them everywhere!

  

  Yuck.

  Things are winding down here.  I messed up my sample which I took so long to carefully prepare.  Doh!  I'm an idiot.  I kinda wish I were more computer-savvy and be all into the techie stuff because it'd be helpful with research in general, BUT I am a girl and have other things to do.  So that's not going to happen.  I guess that's the cool thing about guys...they can get really into something and get really good at something or really knowledgeable about something because they're willing to put in the time and effort.  I, on the other hand, would rather know a little bit about a lot of different things.  Not exactly what you do at grad school.

  I can't wait to get back to school, actually!  It's been tough being here without knowing a bazillion people.  Oddly enough, though, I still managed to see my neighbor from home here in DC at the Arlington National Cemetary.  Crazy, huh.  On the flip side, my boredom has coerced me to get my lazy butt up and away from the TV and go to the gym.  We have free membership to the YMCA with our apartment lease.  I've been taking a lot of step aerobics classes and have actually gotten quite good at it.  It's surprising, but it actually is a pretty good work out, at least for cardio and endurance and keeping your heart rate up for awhile.  A six-pack is not anywhere in the near future or any future, though.  I find myself daydreaming sometimes, though, about being totally buff again and doing gymnastics.  I miss the feeling of flying through the air on the bars or landing on the beam or flipping into the pit.  I hope I don't live vicariously through my kids in this sense.  I don't want to end up being one of those moms who pushes their kids so hard to do something just because they didn't get to do it themselves.  I wonder if it would be weird to be 30 years old and taking gymnastics.  Hehe.  I'll still be the same size and look the same age, so I could still work out with the team, right?  =P
