dun dun DUN.
I just got news last night that I have been placed on the dreaded wait-list at Notre Dame. :(
I guess I wasn't upset at first because I was seriously expecting to be rejected, but time went by and I had time to process, and you know what? It kind of sucks.
But, there's still hope, blah blah blah. When I send out the letter asking them to keep me on the wait-list, I'll make sure the stamp is EXTRA centered and the mailing address is written in a way that conveys professionalism with just a hint of desperation. There's no way they won't let me in then!
Given this so-so news, I decided to stay in bed until 1:30 this afternoon to reformulate some life plans (also because I will find ANY excuse to stay in bed until 1:30).
When I finally got called out on being a "hot mess" I literally dragged myself out of bed and threw on the new trail running shoes I ordered last week when I was contemplating signing up for a 5k. (BAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAA)
For those of you who don't know, I HATE running. But all the stars must have been aligned and I drove (yes, drove) to a trail nearby that was gentle enough for even a hater like me.
For those of you who are looking to get trail running shoes, the Northface Devil's Thumb shoes are awesome! I tore through gravel, mud, puddles, and dirt like I owned the place (read: nature).
I also faced a pretty big challenge about five minutes into the jog… I saw a person running towards me, so I had to do the ol' 'oooooooh-i-love-jogging-so-much-and-this-is-so-easy-for-me-to-do' stride. GOOD THING he was way faster than me so I only had to pretend to love running for about 30 seconds. PHEW.
Now that that's all done with, I feel a tad better with my day not being a complete waste. The only other goal I have to accomplish for the day is getting the netflix dvd that's been sitting in my dvd player for a month all the way down the driveway and into the mailbox.
I know, it sounds SO ridiculous that I even consider that an errand… but don't even lie, you've been there too.
