Zombie Run!

Hi!

So, I have a problem with starting sentences of emails or blog posts, or even the vlogs I have to do for one of my classes. I'm going to try and start breaking this habit now!

Anyways, as per usual I have been up to my eyeballs in work for school. My profs have the bad habit of assigning things all in the same week, especially exams, rather than spreading them out nicely over several weeks. Thus, I have weeks where I'm crazy stressed and others where I have no motivation to do any work whatsoever because of the previous stressful week. This is one of those no motivation weeks. The problem with this vicious cycle is that I put off doing work I can do when I'm not crazy busy until I actually am crazy busy, only adding to my busy-ness.

Since last week was a crazy week for me, I wasn't really able to do anything for the weekend prior to Halloween or that Wednesday night. But, to make up for it, a club I'm in called GlobeMed put on a Zombie 5K to raise money for our partner! Since I couldn't dress up for Halloween, I made up for it by being a zombie for the run. Now because I'm the overly ambitious college student, I ended up putting more on my plate with this run than I needed to and made it a hall program in my residence hall. Therefore, I ended up having to hunt people down in my res-hall and get them to sign up/sign a waiver. NOT FUN! But it all went to a good cause and our club ended up raising over $1,000!! Pretty awesome if I do say so myself.

Being a zombie was a lot of fun. Some of the runners took some casualties in their attempts to avoid getting "infected," but I think everyone had a great time. I will say though, it was kinda awkward waiting for the runners to come by while people who are trying to enjoy the park notice us and have no idea why we have zombie make up on and ripped up shirts.
