Masochist?

Moving to a sunnier state may, in the end, just punish me.  It is still basically gorgeous outside and oh, wait I have three midterms and a presentation this week.  The sunsets have been a brilliant red and I would love to have a cup of tea or coffee every night and sit out on the back porch and watch those glowing lights fade over the city of San Francisco, the rolling landscape and slips of water.  But, no.  Its inside studying, burying my face in the real Gray's Anatomy (which I do find interesting but not nearly as much so as the TV show).  This afternoon I wanted to run down by Lake Merritt which is a lovely run/walk that takes about an hour and a half.  Which is more time than I can afford right now.  So I hopped on the treadmill for about twenty minutes then headed down to the cadaver lab.  A thrilling way to enjoy the afternoon sunshine.  I'm not complaining and I really have had many opportunities to enjoy this lovely, mild October weather.  But being a Pacific NW girl, I feel its necessary to seize every sunshine opportunity because I know they can disappear all too quickly.  And the weather is just starting to turn.  But for the rest of the week I'm going to resist my urges and stay buried in those flashcards and books that I really love so much.  Keeping my eye on the prize :)
