The sun was out for a bit today, so I stayed outside and did some things to my car that needed to get done after getting back from my run. The run was an attempt to get some energy. It usually helps but today, I'm not sure what happened. Within a few minutes of getting back, I was tired again. January just does this to me in general. February too. In December, winter is still new and exciting and I love it. January/February is the time when it gets a little too cold to do much outside. March promises spring.
The thing I've always liked least about January is that it seems to be the loneliest month of the year. Logistically, students leave, people aren't outside, everyone is cold and lazy. But being someone who really thrives off of being around people, this really gets to me. Especially now that I live with less people and more people leave.
It would be fine if it made me want to get work done, but it makes me pretty lethargic too. I spare time that I have has been getting spent on..well...not much at all. I've been researching a lot of new music, which has been good. But reading makes me more tired and writing has been like pulling teeth because I simply don't want to think.
Maybe I need something new and exciting to pull me out of this? It's just a little bit of a slump. It'll pass.
We checked out the Chris Koza show last night and celebrated Steph's birthday. Good times, although it was really crowded in there, which wasn't like the other shows of his that we've been to. I was slightly annoyed with the territorial girls standing next to Reina and I but we trudged through it and managed to really enjoy the show. I wish he would have played longer, though. It simply wasn't enough!
Little Evangeline is here. Gotta love that. :)
I've had a lot of passing thoughts lately. It's weird. It's like these really deep, difficult to think about things, but I'm too lazy to really think more about them. I have a feeling that they're all connected but I don't feel like making the connections. I'm positive this is a bad idea and I should start up with it.
I'm also positive that I should be writing more and writing with intention instead of all of this rambling crap. Could 2009 be the year of the book? Who knows. I have nothing permanent on the agenda yet.
I find out about my 2nd round for Teach for America on Tuesday. I'm nervous. But it'll be good. I think either way, I won't be in Madison next year. I need to get out. Move around. Do something. There's just not enough here right now to convince me otherwise and I feel like there's something bigger out there. I just wish I had a clue what that was.
Anyhow, I really should be reading my chapter assignment for Tuesday and working on some other stuff.

Just thought I'd say hi via comment rather than just secretly stop by to read without you knowing. Thanks again for hanging out yesterday.
GOOOO! New Orleans! Interesting statement at the end about not being in Madison next year. When I know I know something I tell it to everyone, and it helps me commit and follow through.
