winter blues

I managed to run 10 kilometers this morning before the 9:30 snowstorm hit. It's still going on, and it scares me even more thinking of commuting to the office this coming week.

I can't wait till next March when the snow will start to melt. Until then, I'll continue to take my vitamin D religiously if I can.

sop update

It took me two weeks, but I have a version of my SOP that I feel ok with sharing with other people. By no means is it perfect and ready to submit, but I feel pretty comfortable sharing it with my profs whom I plan to ask for letters of recs.

dc

I'll be in the DMV in 21 weeks, which seems too far away, given that I went to DC every quarter this year. A part of me is tugging at the idea of visiting sometime in Jan/Feb before the half-marathon, but I already have a trip booked to Boston for the new year.

the hangover

I thought I was over with it; turns out looking at pics brings it back, but at least it fueled my motivation to finish my first draft.

I can't believe

tomorrow is the last day of this project?! I might be a bit more reflective to celebrate the last post of the month.
