Have I ever mentioned how much I hate the cold? I can't wait until we have weather above 50 degrees again. I am just thinking about the walk back to my apartment that I'll be taking at 6:30...brr.

This week has been really weird. I am not really adjusted to my new schedule, so I keep feeling like I'm missing something like a class or work. I can't say that I hate it though :) Right now I am sitting in good old LeBaron Hall, waiting for my next class to start (not for another 52 minutes). I am already caught up on my homework for the week too!

My thought of the day today is about the rec center. I have been working out routinely since coming back to Ames, and I'm really proud of myself! Santa brought me some awesome new tennies (thanks SantaMom!), and it makes me much more motivated for some reason. Since school started on monday, the rec has been reaaaaally busy. Everyone is trying to squeeze in their new year's resolution, so there's like twice as many people there than normal. It's a little bit annoying, but good for all those people who are getting their butts to the gym (even if the only do go for a week or 2). I am definitely not the patron saint of working out, but I am pretty sure that the chaos will die down in the next week or two, because people will give up. What irritates me though, is the people who are constantly making fun of all the new people at the rec. Maybe it irritates me cause I'm new-ish (although it wasn't a new years resolution-more of a wedding one), and maybe it's a little bit because they're just being mean for no reason. Yes, rec regulars, I get that you want to be able to spend 2 hours on the elliptical and that you can't with all the extra people, but making fun of them is not going to make them disappear.

Well there's my rant for the day. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of those on here, haha. I can't tell my roommates because one doesn't go to the rec often (although she did say she wants to come with me! just forgot her tennis shoes) and one is a rec regular, so she is hating it. And K will look at me like I am a freak.

On a side note, I really like referring to people by their first initial because it makes me feel like I am on gossip girl, haha.
