it matters if you are black or white

I want to give myself a small pat on the back – managed to finish another tutorial yesterday night. It stretched me out to 12mn once again and I almost overslept, if not for dearie’s noisy hp alarm.

The week’s revision progressed relatively smoothly and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the next 2 weeks will continue to be so. I have kept close to schedule of revision and I’ve been very blessed that work volume has decreased to a point I could spend close to 4 hours working on my assignment yesterday. Everyone’s pretty free after the audit and board meeting. We’ve met the deadline for may’s closing and this is the window of breather we’ll are getting until the cycle starts in 3 weeks’ time.

To me it’s a blessing because this break is timely for me to rush my assignment. However, I do not want to take it for granted and i am being cautious not to be caught for doing personal studies. yet, if I were to look around my department, at least I am utilizing time to learn something. To me, it’s better than flipping magazines, newspapers and watch online streaming movies?

Run training was great yesterday. I went to weigh myself to confirm my weight gain. Argh. I’ve put on 2 kgs! =( yet, what I cannot fathom is, despite gaining weight, I’ve gotten faster. i’ve been able to clock 1.30min for 400m, which to me is a feat. I never imagined myself doing so..but through the rigorous training, I am doing it! =D hee. I’m not going to compare with dearie; 1.30/400m is easy-moderate pace! Thomas and dearie were doing 1.30-1.35 pace yesterday for 1.2km (4sets) and they were chatting and laughing through the sets. What a contrast when you look over and see my crumpled and twisted face while doing 1.30pace!

Dearie posed the question, “do you want to be skinny and slow or heavier but fast?” honestly I was thinking to myself, “can I be skinny and fast?” =P greedy tricia wants the best of both worlds. If I do have to pick, then I’ll pick the latter. I want to be fast and run the races, giving my all. I want to finish and know I could not have done it any better. =)

Running is so much like life. If you choose to be mediocre, you will always be stuck in the gray area of neither black nor white. you either be black. Or white. =)
