I digress

I really didn't mean to go on and on in that last post about how much I hate United but clearly, I am not a huge fan of the airline and I'm still enraged by the poor way they treated me!

I did also mean to give a few updates. And when I say few, I mean very few since there seems to be nothing going on in my world, at least not that I haven't mentioned. As I've stated before I don't work until 12:00 every day so I had a lot of great plans for that time: working out, applying for other jobs/grad school, study for the GRE, and other great industrious things. Sounds great right? Well most of this time has been spent sleeping in or playing around on Facebook. Not such great use of my time. Don't get me wrong, getting enough sleep is very important but if I would just go to bed at a decent hour I wouldn't need to sleep until 10:30 to receive a healthy amount of sleep.

I take the GRE in exactly one month from today and you think that would be motivating right? Well since I'm blogging instead of studying you can see what my answer is... I took a 6 week prep course and discovered I don't remember math a whole lot beyond basic arithmetic. The GRE also has algebra (I remember a little) and geometry (I remember even less). I ordered a book online from Amazon on Geometry but I have the hardest time studying it! Hmmm.... Hopefully there's a grad school out there that will take me...

One of the other industrious things I was planning to do in my mornings was exercise. I finally got the motivation about two weeks ago and got up and hopped on the treadmill. After about 15 minutes my left knee started to hurt so I jumped off. I was only walking at a fast pace, not even running or jogging yet so I'm not really sure what happened. Maybe I didn't stretch out enough prior to starting? Or maybe I'm too heavy right now and need to lose weight with lower impact exercises first? Maybe I'm just not meant to be a runner and should find a different form of exercise. Not really sure. I may talk to a personal trainer about it and see what I may be doing wrong and see if it makes a difference. The problem with that plan is that my paychecks have been severely lacking since moving to 30 hours a week (not surprisingly). I've thought about getting a second part-time job since I can't find one decent full-time one but I'm having a hard enough time studying for the GRE as it is!

So that's what's currently going on in my world. If anyone has any tips on running or studying for the GRE, PLEASE let me know!
