Slow Day/Fast Day

February 17, 2009

I have felt slow all day.
That said, the day has been full and fast.
Up about 30 minutes earlier for my early carpool.
Try to finish up a project before my first meeting at 9:00.
Meetings untill 12:45 (3 total)
Break – try to finish up some other work before the 3 PM meeting. But – at least 4 different requests by different people. I think I actually got to 3 of them (not big requests, just bunched.
The 3 PM meeting went until 6.
Home finally, to try and let my mind to slow down to how my body felt. Mmmmeatloaf. Comfort food.

Seattle and various other U.S. cities (Sorry if you were hoping for news from Canada. Maybe next time.)

I love this city.

Some friends of mine may be coming down from Van later this week and I’ve been getting super excited to show them absolutely EVERYTHING.  It’s hard for me to edit out things – as was proven last time I had friends in town and even though they were here for a whole weekend we literally ran out of time to see everything even though I thought i had condensed it pretty damn well.  Wow.  Sorry about the hella long sentence.  I just ran out of breath reading that back.  Make sure you have your inhaler ready – Ashlan is at the keyboard!

Anyways…

I’m having trouble thinking about school right now because my focus is definitely on the two trips i have coming up.  The first one is my friend Lauren and I heading to Arizona for spring training in March (which we have lovingly termed ST2009!!! – with the exclamation points absolutely neccesary).  5 games in 3 days – should be sufficiently epic to sate my need for baseball until this term is over (last exam=April 24th!).  On a semi-related note the first game I’ll get to see when I return will not only be on my birthday but will also be against the A’s!!  Perfect much?  I’m gonna have to answer YES.

And then there is the summer trip in August, which is far off and yet I still am finding it slightly impossible to contain my excitement.  Not only are we headin up to the cabin (WooHoo!) but we will also be going to various places that I have never been to before (Tennessee and Atlanta for example), so I’m suuuper stoked.  Our family tends to go to the same places when we travel, and while these locations are surely near and dear to my heart, a girl needs a little variety!!  It’s been 3 years since I have ditched them to go on a trip of my own, so I think I’m in withdrawal or something.  Who knows.

So yeah.  Hope this was enjoyable and/or interesting.  I try.

Much love!  Ashlan.
