Three Mile Stress Release

“Fear of failure will absolutely destroy you. You will walk down the middle of the street. You will never take chances. You never go down the little side streets that you look at and say, ‘That looks interesting. But I don’t know that street. I’ll stay right here and just walk this straight line.’” ~Jack Lemmon

 
I booked my flight to Boston yesterday, I leave on the 16th of March. I rang Big C and told him the news. I’m so excited. I get into Boston a little after 4 o’clock. So Big C is going to tell me which bus to hop and I’ll meet him at a coffee shop in a square after he gets off of work. I’m so excited to see him and after talking to him yesterday, I am even more excited.
 
I start my internship tomorrow and I’m looking forward to it. I’m planning on getting up at 6:30 to work out and then get ready and leave at 8:30. I don’t have to be there until 10:00, but I have to drive to the city to the north and I don’t know how rush hour traffic is going to affect this. This gives me plenty of time and I can guage from there.
 
Started making plans for my birthday celebration this weekend. I’ve been calling people and letting them know what’s going down. So far I’ve rung Niki, Nabbi and Kenya, Bern and his girlie, Tye, Angie, Manny, Vinnie, Gina, Julie, Pate, and Harvey. I’ve got to ring Terena, Calley, Turk, Kim and Jo. The plan is to go to dinner around 7 and then afterwards head to a tavern on the other side of the river. That way, everyone can get in and we can all sit around and shoot the shit as the night progresses. I’m not sure who all is coming to dinner, but I don’t mind. I just want to see my friends.
 
I walked three miles yesterday. It was nice and really helped me clear my head. Tonight after work and after dinner I did the same thing. It’s nice to put my headphones in and just walk while I sort out my thoughts on the world. I think I’m going to keep it up. Running isn’t happening. Running wasn’t a good idea for my knee and I began to feel why the doctor said running was bad for it. So I’m going to continue walking three miles each night. I lost some weight in Mexico walking to school everyday and I walked a good mile and a half to school each day, so I’m going to keep it up and see if that does anything.
 
I neglected my homework at work this evening. I finished one of the books for my popular literature class, so I picked up a book I had been reading, Valley of the Dolls. It’s really good and I read over a 150 pages today. I’m going to try and finish it this weekend, but I’ve got to remember to do my homework. Oh, the joys of school.
