A Good Day

Today has been a good day. For the first time in three academic semesters I have Monday evenings free. I began my new and very welcomed freedom by exercising for about 45 minutes when I got home. It was SO great. I hope to keep this up two or three times a week until basketball season is over, then do it four or five times a week. I love the feeling of waking up sore the morning after exercising muscles I haven't used in a while. It is such a feeling of accomplishment and it makes me feel like I'm taking better care of the body with which the Lord has blessed me.

I also found out today that I have been chosen by the professors in my department as the outstanding graduate student for our department for my graduating class. I didn't even know that was an available honor. However, I am excited to have received it.

I am currently watching the BCS championship game. I thought it would be a beating when OSU scored 16 seconds into the game on the opening kickoff return. 4 minutes and 31 seconds later Florida scored. Less than 9 minutes after their first touchdown, Florida has scored another touchdown - this one somewhat controversial. This could be a beating the opposite way of which I originally thought. My only hope is that this is an exciting and close one. I wonder if the Heisman curse will have an effect on the outcome of this game...
