Super Bowl Sunday

All I know about football is the most basic of the basics. What I do know is that I would have killed to have been at the halftime performance! One word....PRINCE! What can I say except WOW. He even sang a small portion of my theme song! Love it. I wonder what it felt like for all those people to literally have been washed in purple as he performed the song in the rain. It must have been amazing. I was getting chills just watching it on t.v. so it must have been really powerful to true Prince fans. When I saw him in concert two years ago I was in awe. I must say that the Purple Rain album still remains in my top three favorites of all time. I'm glad I was able to catch the halftime entertainment. It made me feel better. I feel a little achy today. It truly didn't help hauling all of my groceries, etc. up the stairs. It was a two trip day. At least it was a mini-workout right? I ate pretty badly yesterday. My mother surprised me with fried whiting, one of my favorites. I can't remember the last time she made it. It's bad because it's fried...but it was so darn good! I think i'm going to put in a request for conch fritters for next month. Ha ha. I'm really going to have to work extra hard on my workouts this week. I'm going to try for four days this week. The goal is to get to five but i've found it hard to motivate myself past three days.

On a different note, Professor Goldstein sent me a really cool email telling me he liked my thesis abstract and that i'm a good, logical thinker. I needed that encouraging boost. It also makes me nervous because I want to do really well but am scared that I won't logically work the project. I know i'm worrying myself over nothing but it's a little unnerving that if I don't do well I won't graduate. I've gambled a lot on myself so I have to come up with a huge payout now that i'm in the homestretch. Last Thursday while I was on the phone with the brokerage specialist talking about my new IRA account, he said something that made me smile. He said "I can tell that you are a very smart and wealthy woman" I joked with him that I'm quite poor right now and he said "You won't be for very long". I thought it was interesting. What are people, even strangers, seeing in me that I am not? I guess I know logically that I have potential. What I can't really feel is if what I want will really ever come into fruition even if I work five times as hard. I guess I shouldn't worry about the unknown...just work with what I do know. What I know right now is that I have tons of reading and this draft MOU to finish since it has to be submitted tomorrow. Why do I procrastinate on some things??? I think that's just the way I work. Ah...the joys of being me.

Alison is home recovering well so far as is her mom who is also sick. I think i'll go visit both of them at the end of the week. Alison's birthday is Friday so I think I have an idea for a great gift. It's going to be busy this week. I didn't get that other job that they had me interview for so many times but I feel good about it...wasn't quite the right fit. I do have an appt. with career services to I have a feeling that will be beneficial. Also, one of my classmates works for a nonprofit placement agency. What luck for me! He gave me his card so I can email him. Cher and Lor also gave me some leads too so that's good for me and i'll definitely follow up. Better do that this week. I think I'm going to treat myself to a manicure too. Haven't done that in a while. Oh well...I better get some schoolwork done. If I don't keep up I won't be able to catch up.
