I am having a full-blown mid-college crisis. This is not news. I spent almost two hours on the phone with Steph today comparing dilemmas, taking personality tests, and researching possible masters degrees. I went through an A-Z list of masters programs in the United States and have a few options to think about. I really feel like I'm just starting over, and it kind of sucks. I hate not having a plan. I've always had a plan, and now that I'm just over a year away from going out into the "real world," I suddenly don't have a plan. It's very unsettling.

We had to test lake water for lab today. We went to two lakes, drilled two holes in each, and took water samples to bring back to the lab. One group was less than intelligent and let the cap of the tool to gather water in freeze shut, so we were stuck outside much longer than we needed to be.

The food situation in the cafeteria is still ridiculous. I'll leave it at that though, otherwise I'd go on forever with complaints.

My philosophy test went well, I think. I always get so worried when I finish a test so much quicker than anyone else (I was done first in around 20 minutes in a class full of philosophy major seminarians); I'm always so afraid that I missed something or just completely misunderstood key concepts that should be harder. I guess we'll see when I get the test back. At least now I know what to expect from my philosophy tests.

I WILL go to bed right after work tonight. Ok, I'll shower right after work, and then I'll go straight to bed. I have no reason to stay up, and it'd be nice to get a decent amount of sleep for once.

I don't want to go to work tonight. I've realized that I can't do anything that requires a lot of sitting still at a computer. I need to move around. I should remember to keep that in mind when I try to figure out what to do with my life.

I should have taken a nap. Actually, I should have gone running. I did not make very good use of my time this afternoon. I have to coach the rest of this week. I wish that didn't break up my afternoon so much. It's a bummer I can't go right after classes. I'm glad it's not later than it is though. That would really suck.

Is a 15 minute nap worth my time right now? I guess we'll see!
