aspire interphase: The life surviving off water and coffee....

Lots of my day consists of consuming Coffee & enormous amounts of water. I have been told, that if I want to concentrate (for a decent amount of time) without drugs I need the most amount of water on the planet. Plus my body is retarted and needs help.

Well, throughout these past few days I have been drinking exceeding amounts of liquids and peeing every 10 minutes (not out of the norm), and still extremely tired.

I have been running around, visiting colleges, walking like heck, and running errands for my parents. I love my life.

On Thursday, as you know, I visited St. Cloud State University which I immediately fell in love with.

On Friday, I visited Minnesota State University Mankato. Complete opposite feel, and I still loved everything about it. I didn't like that the campus is sort of isolated from downtown Mankato, though (and it's roughly 2 hrs from home vs. St. Cloud being only an hr).

Now it sounds like I want to be super close to home- not necessarily true, I don't want to be that student who goes home every weekend, because I want to be with my friends having a social life... engaging in the activities, ect... But honestly I have felt that I have loved both of these colleges and they offer such a great Elementary and Special Education programs.... amazing.

After visiting Mankato last night, my parents and I met Abigail and her mom @ Panera Bread in Mankato for some dinner. It was nice to see them and laugh about miscellaneous topics, and drink Chai teas and love life. I was so tired on the ride home... but I found myself telling my parents pointless stories as always.

I woke up this morning, and was sent to Rainbow to get some eggs and Buttermilk because my mom made some Pumpkin Pancakes for breakfast. I ate them after I went for a short (yet painful) run this morning... I haven't done straight running in a lifetime. It's so horrible I need to get back into shape. Mucho. I worked on the computer a little bit, went to the library, talked to my sister, read a little bit, and then went babysitting for the Galloway's. The kiddos were pretty tuckered out from the weekend, so we ate dinner, played a lot of board games... they read :) it was a nice fun evening. They went to bed and I talked to Ashley E for a little while... which was a nice change of pace.... such a great friend and listener. Then shortly after the parents came home, and I left, deposited my check, and now I'm home, ready to go to bed.

(sorry for the random order of the pictures... they uploaded funny).
