Thunder storms have moved in. Typical of humid weather, we are all scurrying around with flip flops and umbrellas. Went running earlier today...it was so hot and muggy that I felt like I was doing Bikram Jogging. Perhaps I'll start a new exercise trend. I'm considering the Nike half-marathon in October, but I feel out of shape and nervous about how training will fit with the writing schedule and the part time job I will (hopefully) have. But I keep being enticed by the promise of training partners and free food. What should I do?

Tonight we find out which of the faculty will be our supervisor for the upcoming semester. The faculty meet and discuss it all afternoon--then they post a list and the students flock. I've had three supervisors so far and have had great experiences with all of them, so I feel calm but VERY curious.

I'm proud of myself. i've eaten five cafeteria meals and have refrained from eating out (so far).
