Abbreviated blogging:

So here's what's going on, in digest format:

• this was a tough week. the newness of grad school gave way to the realization that this crap is hard, and there's a lot of it. my study buddies are a great help.
• i need to focus on sleep. when i get anxious, i sleep less, and when i haven't slept enough, it makes me get more anxious.
• i ran this week! god, it feels so so good while i'm doing it, and so achey afterwards.
• i've committed to working for the obama campaign until election day in any way i can, and am working on a cogent statement of why i want him to be our president.
• more than obama winning, i just want there to be an HONEST political discourse. so keep talking to each other, or start the conversation if you haven't yet.
• tomorrow i have a picnic and econ study group!
• i REALLY need to find the good bike light.

That's all for now, I really need to sleep. On the agenda for this week: research calls, Obama campaigning, plenty of studying, and even a first time RL meeting with a WoW friend!
