It's been 6 days since I was last at my internship. I have enjoyed the 5 day weekend I have had since DC got 2+ ft. of snow and was able to recover from a slight head cold and catch up on some sleep during the process. But as of today I'm finding myself a little bit bored and stir crazy... itching to get back to my little toddlers and learning about the career I have chosen for myself. Unfortunately, Mr. Weatherman is forecasting another 10+ inches tonight and tomorrow so I am afraid I wont be going back just yet. Major downfall to all of these days off: my training has taken a major hit. I haven't been outside to run in 10 days and I'm ready to pull my hair out on the treadmill. I am getting so bored and having to mix it up with cross training on days that I am supposed to be running.
But... the snow is beautiful and I know when summer rolls around I'll be whining about how miserably hot it is so I guess I should enjoy the winter wonderland while its here- back to being positive, right-o!
Also- I've got an adventure planned in the form of a possible trip to NYC at the end of the month. Just a weekend away but I am looking forward to possibly getting out of this city and spending a few days with some old friends. More details to come!
And now- a random aside, something I've learned recently:
A brief lesson in being humble: the more time and effort you spend pointing out your superiorities... the more likely people are to notice when you are nothing more than mediocre and the less forgiveness you'll experience for the faults that only make you human. People most often prefer to discover a person's endearing qualities independently and would rather not have them thrust in their faces. Let your behavior, your actions, your successes, and your inevitable failures speak for themselves. If you're as good as you believe you are, the message will come across even stronger. Thats my new resolution for myself. From now on I am going to strive to achieve nothing more or less than the goals I set for myself. And my ability to accomplish them will change me in no other way than making me a better person with a better understanding of the importance of discipiline, diligence, and hard work. I will work to accomplish my own goals and dreams and in the process I will try to uplift others as they do the same. I will not try to bring people down for fear that they will do better than me. I will be proud of the efforts of others and continue to acknowledge hard work when I see it. I will strive to set an example of the humble behaviors I'd like to witness in others. I'm going to try hard.
Another random aside- I love Tory, he's my silent hero.
