&lt;p&gt;So so so so sad. ):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Going to miss school.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not the work part, but the people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One more final and I&amp;#8217;m out of here too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good run this morning. Actually great. I&amp;#8217;m not really sure the distance (probably 3-4 miles) or the time, but it felt good. Not numbers running is good for the soul, especially when the humidity is OC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Final today wasn&amp;#8217;t too bad. Final tomorrow is going to be easy. Then home.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://marathonorbust.tumblr.com/post/51024852641</link><guid>http://marathonorbust.tumblr.com/post/51024852641</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 19:21:51 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Reactivate Facebook and all the creepy guys I finally got rid of start talking to me again.

&lt;p&gt;I mean I am. I&amp;#8217;m excited for the break from school.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I&amp;#8217;m not excited about the rest of summer that I&amp;#8217;m usually excited for. Because I have two groups of friends in two areas and I just want to be with all of them all the time but I can&amp;#8217;t. And that makes me kind of sad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Right now it&amp;#8217;s up in the air about if I&amp;#8217;m living at home or at school over the summer. And I am really torn about which place I&amp;#8217;m rooting for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are so many reasons to go home. But just as many to stay here.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://marathonorbust.tumblr.com/post/50994231477</link><guid>http://marathonorbust.tumblr.com/post/50994231477</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 11:51:21 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;There’s a lot more to running than the races seen by the spectators. Bad races kill me. I feel defeated. I feel like everything I had worked for was pointless. But here’s the thing—I’m not allowed to give up. That’s not what runners do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Runners fight back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s going to be an early summer for marathon training&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;

There is always one person at the table who holds up her hand when I serve the cake. No, really, I couldn’t she says, and then gives her flat stomach a conspiratorial little pat. Everyone who is pressing a fork into that first tender layer looks at the person who declined the plate, and they all think, That person is better than I am. That person has discipline. But that isn’t a person with discipline; that is a person who has completely lost touch with joy. A slice of cake never made anybody fat. You don’t eat the whole cake. You don’t eat a cake every day of your life. You take the cake when it is offered because the cake is delicious. You have a slice of cake and what it reminds you of is someplace that’s safe, uncomplicated, without stress. A cake is a party, a birthday, a wedding. A cake is what’s served on the happiest days of your life. This is a story of how my life was saved by cake, so, of course, if sides are to be taken, I will always take the side of cake.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Jeanne Ray (via &lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://shetakesflight.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;shetakesflight&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://marathonorbust.tumblr.com/post/50963726268</link><guid>http://marathonorbust.tumblr.com/post/50963726268</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2013 23:31:27 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>(Insert several cliches here about the way I feel about you.)

&lt;p&gt;it’s kinda funny how when you get older you start to enjoy the things you hated as a kid like taking naps and getting spanked&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the second one was kind of unexpected&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yeah except the more texts I get the less likely I am to answer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For real, I just stopped answering for like three hours while I prepared for/took an exam. I was going to answer until I had five texts from him freaking out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Monday - &lt;a href="http://loseweightnobullshit.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"&gt;push&lt;/a&gt;, yoga, study for Russian exam, job interview&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tuesday - run, yoga, study for/take Russian exam, study for science exam&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wednesday - &lt;a href="http://loseweightnobullshit.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"&gt;pull&lt;/a&gt;, yoga, study for/take science exam, go home&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thursday - run, yoga, enjoy home&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Friday - run, GO TO HERSHEY PARK&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Saturday - run, more Hershey Park&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since I won&amp;#8217;t have a gym from Thursday to next Monday I&amp;#8217;ll be pretty run heavy, but after that I&amp;#8217;ll be balancing out running and lifting, three days a week each. Bridge to 10k to prepare for marathon training, &lt;a href="http://loseweightnobullshit.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"&gt;DHPT&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8217;s training.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last two finals, home for a few days, Hershey Park with the family.&lt;/p&gt;
