Fried

My brain is pretty fried today, not really sure why. I came home, had a late lunch, and felt pooped. 

I treated myself to gelato today on the way home. They make their own flavors, for vegans and non-vegans, and the Dutch Almond Coffee is the BEST. There are whole coffee beans in it, although it didn't help keep me awake and alert at all.

I finished one secondary application today...Nothing impressive at all. It was one of the ones that only asks you for basic things like "have you ever been on academic probation and if so, why?" and "were you ever convicted of a misdemeanor and/or felony and if so, why?" It did give me the chance to mention activities that I omitted from my primary AMCAS app because (after a lot of internal debate) I decided I didn't have much to say about those activities.

But because I made myself do a teensy bit of work today, I decided to vegetate for the rest of the night.

zzzzzzzzzzzz. 

Root beer floats!

After that long rant (for those who did read, thanks!) I treated myself to a nice brisk walk around the local regional park.

I'm reminding myself to enjoy the good, simple things in life.  Like good hikes followed by dinner and a root beer float until I'm so stuffed I can't move.  Surprisingly, a coffee ice cream root beer float is REALLY good.

I miss the grass being this shade of lush green though.  Somehow it felt really luxurious to run down a path while being surrounded by a sea of vivid emerald green.  I think the dry, 80+ weather has scorched most of the grass around the paths and hills into a tan again.
