Today has been a very productive Saturday so far. I coached Molly's basketball team since she's in New York, went to brunch, and volunteered at a nursing home. I still have to clean, do laundry, and do homework.

Being at the nursing home made me realize that I'm not taking advantage of everything I can do as long as I'm young enough. One day I might not be able to move around so easily, and I don't want to end up regretting never having the chance. I feel like I already do quite a bit to make the most of my life, but there's still so much more I can do. I don't want to miss my chance to really live.

Anyway. I got my mile and a half down to 10:30 last week! I'm not exactly sure how I managed it... I think I was just having a really good day.

I've been managing my time a lot better lately. I have 5 or 6 papers/writing assignments due before Thanksgiving, but I only have 2 more to do. I turned in a paper that could be turned in Friday on Monday. I've spent many hours in the library. (I found a way to not get distracted or fall asleep!) I feel like I can handle my work-load better now, which is good since it'll be worse next semester.

I had my tightest deadline at work so far last night. I covered the hockey game, and it went into overtime. It didn't end until about 9:30. Then I had to interview the coach, drive to work, and write a story by my 11:00 deadline. Luckily it was a great game to write about. It was an overtime victory (6-5) and the first win of the season (after losing 6).

I'm excited for Thanksgiving!! I just have to make it through 5 classes and then I get to go home!
