My first and only day off of the week!

Today is my first and only day off of the week. I figured since I revised the schedule at work that I could give myself a 6 day work week this week, and go 4 days next week... so 3 days off in row would be perfect.

It was a nice day off, so I cannot complain. I caught up on much needed sleep with waking up at 9am... and that is sleeping in to me. Well, actually, 8am is sleeping in to me but it did the job. I started off the day with a run. I've been too busy lately with work and seeing friends that I've had little time to run. Ran for about 45 minutes and probably covered some 12km or so, so I was quite happy with that. I am using a Polar GPS with the RS300X, but I had lost the signal for a short while and had to estimate that distance based on city blocks. Needless to say, I ate a big breakfast to cover the losses of the run. Tomorrow I work at 9am, however, I am off around 4, so I think it'll also be perfect to go for a run at that point.

I went to the driving range and played a little par 3 golf as well. The guy next to me at the driving range wanted to do a "driving" contest. I figured I would lose, but I pulled out my Big Bertha and showed him... or I just got lucky, but either way I'll take it. After the driving range was when I hit the pitch-and-putt course. Just 9 holes, so the par was at 27... and I shot a 25. So, now that I have mastered the short game, I think it's time to play a few par 4 courses and try to increase my game skill. I am hoping to have a better and stronger game come this September for the Annual Golf tourney. I've played with my dad in the past, so I'd like to beat him and of course, place a wager on this and make him pay for the beers in the end. ;)

I had just viewed my booklist for this fall's semester. Oh man, it might cost me over $700... just for 4 classes. It hurts. I know I make more than enough in the summer to cover the costs, but of course I always want it as low as I can get it. I'll probably check out BC Book Worm to see if I can get a better deal. I prefer new books, but sometimes it's more feasible to get used books for a lower cost. I am looking forward to school this semester, but on the other hand I really enjoy the summer break. However, I have to stop looking too far ahead with grad school. I have not even completed this program and I still keep thinking of school afterwards. I'll try to think less about it, and just focus on school for this semester. I just have to keep reminding myself that it's all worth it in the end, and that by finishing this program, it can bring me closer to my dream.

Well, that is all I have to report for today. Heather just informed me that she has arrived safely in Winnipeg. Good luck with your next journey Heather!!!
