Doctober has begun....

Yup! I was there! I was at Roy Halladay's No Hitter! Game 1 NLDS! AMAZING! It definitely ranks up there with one of the best moments of my life! :-)

And last night was no different. Although I wasn't at the game...the phils crawled back from a 4-0 deficit. This team is ready! And did I mention I'm going to game 1 of the NLCS? Oh yeah, I am :-D heheheh

In the mean time, I feel like I've been going full force. I'm actually trying to fight off a cold/flu at the moment. Not sure what it is but what I do know is this:
-My eyes are like "woah": I've put drops in them, I'm taking allergy meds, I'm taking regular OTC meds - they're swollen and all like, "we don't like you katie" - hence, I am wearing my glasses today.
-I am having slight issues breathing: normally I'd be worried about this but it hasn't effected my ability to workout - I know I'm really sick when I can't breathe and I'm running/spinning
-My nose/chest is congested (which probably is why I'm having trouble breathing) - it's sucky but I guess that's part of being sick.
-I'm pretty tired: I woke up yesterday with pain in my upper neck (like I had slept funny) only it's muscle pain. I'm hoping this isn't too serious. I should probably make an appt with the doctor?

A few things I have to do this week:
-I MUST MUST MUST write a research paper. It's due next Monday (18th). I just don't have any idea what I want to write it on. I thought about writing about Charter Schools but someone else already did that, and then I thought I could write about NCLB(No Child Left Behind) but it's all bleh. Nothing is catching my interest.
-MUST study for the GRE's - who knew October 15th would come so quickly? Yeah, I'm taking them this coming Friday morning at 8am. The only good thing is that it'll be over but the bad thing is that I don't think I'm going to do that well.
-Email some Montco professors about possibly teaching some courses this Spring.
-Contact LMHS about the coaching position and if they've made any decisions on it.

For the most part, with the exception of being sick :-(, I'm doing alright. October is, so far, a good month! Let's hope it keeps going!

“We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

So lately...wait for it....I've been watching Season 3 of Dawson's Creek. Remember that show? Anyone that says they don't - you're too young. GO WATCH IT! It is the One Tree Hill of my generation :-) And I LOVE OTH. If you don't remember, Season 3 is the Season where Joey and Pacey get together......yeah. I LOVED/LOVE Pacey. I still watch him in everything he's been in. What can I say, Josh Jackson has a place in my heart forever. Why do you think I watch Fringe :-)? But I digress......so I'm watching S3 of DC. It's funny when I think about how much I've changed since high school. I used to think my life was JUST like Joey Potter's. Of course, minus the whole love triangle's and such. I completely identified with the show. I always wished for my very own Pacey. But rather I was the one that waited for my very own Joey, just in guy form.

All that being said, my quote/subject is relevant. Change, as you can tell by the blog, is a good thing. It's often scary....but I think it's supposed to be scary. I think that's how you know it's good. I think if it isn't scary, you're doing something wrong.

It's been no secret that September was a far from spectacular month for me. I can not even begin to explain how grateful I am that it is now October 1st. I think with a new month comes a change - a renew - a rejuvenation. Some might argue that this comes on a weekly or even daily basis. Unfortunately, I tried to have it be a daily/weekly thing and it just didn't happen. But that's okay because if September is the worst it's going to get for 2010, I'm doin' pretty darn good.

October has a lot to offer:
-I'm going to Game 1 of the NLDS!
-Possibly going to the home opener for the Flyers!
-Taking the GRE's
-Possibly finding out about a coaching job
-Applying for Grad School
-Busillo's Halloween Party (which reminds me, I need to find a costume!)

Those are just a few of the (hopefully) many things to come in October. Also - I'm just getting closer and closer to getting out of here. I'd like to set a time/date on when I will get out of here, but there's that saying, "The best way to make God laugh, is to make plans" :-) So we'll see where the month goes......
