English Composition 121- Day 1 - The divorcee's Lot

Before class started I went up to let the instructor know that my last name would be updated to Jeffery in the next day or two. His immediate response was "congratulations." Dear lord! To correct him or not to correct him!? Just because a person changes their last name doesn't mean they just got married!
He meant well though so instead of correcting him I just replied with my thanks and moved on.

Changing my name back to Jeffery was a fabulous event. I took back my childhood name...my identity. Anyway, hopefully this is the last time I will have to actually discuss my name change and divorce. I am a Jeffery and that is all there is to it!

The class went well. We read through the syllabus and experienced normal class introduction conversation.

Attending English Composition and reviewing my College Algebra class today has made me wonder how I am going to fit running into my schedule when I will also need to commit time to class and homework?

My current idea to help sneak running in is to add a couple morning runs into my week. I need to be 10K capable by May 6th!! The problem is the cold weather and my aversion to waking up early will prevent me from running out the door.

To help with the cold, I am thinking about getting a jacket for my runs. Right now I don't have anything to wear when the weather is extremely cold. I need a jacket, gloves, a hat to cover my head and ears as well as whatever else I find! The question is how to afford it?? I guess that is something I will need to figure out as I look for the needed items.

As for my aversion to waking up early... Wish me luck because that is not easily remedied.

Time to sleep! Today was a long day and tomorrow will be a running day.

Cheers to pursuing a challenge! :) LIFE should always be a challenge in some way.

*Side note- I am excited to see how my writing ability improves over the next several months! Yay for self improvement!
