So I went to the annual WXYC/WXDU kickball game. Unfortunately we lost but fortunately I didn’t get out on a fly ball like Bev did (ha!). Much fun was had by all I think and the weather was really great in Durham today (sunny and in the 60s). Spring and fall are really awesome seasons here.

In other news, I’ve been on this new weird (or normal) sleep schedule where I actually go to bed at a reasonable hour and get up at a reasonable hour. For a while, I was being a lot more productive this way, but that seems to have dropped off a bit lately. None the less, overall I do enjoy being awake during the vast majority of the daylight hours, so I’m planning to stick with it. Also, I’ve been trying to get in at least 30 minutes of exercise each day by walking to school or just biking around. It has helped me fall asleep when it’s time to go to bed and also helped me deal with stress. Looking back, I should have started doing this a long time ago, but certainly better late than never. At some point, I’m planning on adding swimming to my regimen. I’d like to take some adult swimming lessons to better learn proper technique. As far as I can figure out, grad students aren’t allowed to take PE classes, which sucks since we obviously still have to pay the same fees and tuition. The YMCA seems to offer something though and that’ll probably work better in the summer anyways.
