Caffeine is my friend and I am darn proud of it!

So today has already been a pretty freaking awesome day and its only noon!!!!

I think my day actually started last night when I decided that I was no longer going to be sick and I was going to stop being super lazy and get my ass to the gym to go swimming in the morning.  So I woke up 6a.m., which under normal circumstances would have been a super pain in the ass, but for some reason it was really easy for me to get up today.  Since waking up was a breeze I also got to eat some breakfast, make a salad for lunch and get to the gym to meet Anna a few min early (something that almost never ever happens!)  I thought my swim today was going to be complete crap because I had slacked off all week, but it turned out to be pretty good and I even swam 1200 yards, 200 of which were pretty fast/hard intervals.  After my swim I was feeling pretty jolly (haha jolly!) so I decided to do a few handstands and front/back flips in the water which totally took me back to my summer camp days at Young Set Club, man I miss being 10 sometimes.  
Anna and I finished swimming pretty early which was good because I had to take my car into the shop to get the oil changed and get my brakes checked out and I wanted to stop and get some food on the way.  Excitingly, the shop I went to today is right next to Panera Bread and so I got to eat a cinnamon crunch bagel and drink a huge cup of coffee which I "accidentally" put half and half in ... so it was an extra wonderfully good cup of coffee.  The shop told me it was going to take about an hour to check out my car, so I spent that hour at Panera Bread "writing my thesis" which really does need to have quotes around it because I don't even really know what it means to "write a thesis" i just kinda aimlessly wrote down some stuff about precipitation and call it "work".  Unfortunately (but well actually fortunately), when I got to the shop they had "forgotten" to even look at my car ... at first i was pissed because I had to sit there for an extra 45 min waiting for them to check out my car, but then they told me that they were not going to charge me for the work ... so for an extra 45 min I got a free oil change and let me tell you ... it was worth it (I don't make 35 dollars an hour!!!) so to celebrate I took my car to the car wash to have a shower ... which i realize is not so environmentally friendly, but then again I am pretty darn lazy :(

So now I am at work, blogging instead of "writing my thesis" and soon I am going to leave work to check out the new Mountain Shop which is opening next week.  My friend Seth is going to give me the grad tour before it even opens!!!  Also it's something like 55 degrees outside today, and it's possibly going to be in the 70s tomorrow so it really does seem like spring is almost here!!!!
