"there's a lot that i don't know.
there's a lot that i'm still learning.
when i think i'm letting go
i find my body it's still burning"
jack's mannequin- the resolution.
i tend to dwell on things. sadly, things that dwelling on doesn't help. like, the future. like what happens in two months when i graduate.
it's interesting to think that when you start school you think you're going to learn all you need to learn in those four years. i'm pretty sure that i'm not a very good grown up right now. every time i go grocery shopping i realize this. i'm so bad at it. have been for the past year. (wow. weird to think that i've been shopping for myself for nearly a year now. i kind of miss my meal plan days)
this weekend i ran my first race. an 8K. under the rising arizona sun, with a great friend running with me. well not exactly with me. just more or less at the same time. running the same course. i actually finished before he did which wasn't expected. i finished 1o minutes ahead of the time that i thought i'd finish. well technically 11 minutes and 8 seconds before i thought i would. a pleasant surprise, to say the least. i'm guessing the race organizers didn't realize how excited i would be as i threw my hands up in the air sprinted/leapt across the finish line and pumped the fist a couple times. almost ran into the person in front of me. i think a few people knew that it was my first race and congratulated me. i managed to get a bunch of strangers to cheer me on a bit. i pulled through. i made it, i was proud of myself. it was a surprise.

life'll do that. it'll surprise you.
i'm glad to see that it does. there's a lot that i don't know. there's a lot that i'm still learning. and honestly, i'd be upset if there wasn't.
