PT Survival

I survived the physical fitness test! WOO! I did 27 (modified) pushups, 42 crunches, and finished the mile and a half run in 14:06. It wasn't that bad, except all day I felt like I was going to throw up my banana I ate right before I ran! While we were running, one of the members had a seizure and collapsed on the ground, shaking, with his face bleeding...it was really scary, we had to call 911 and everything...so I think we all might have had faster times if that didn't happen, because we kinda stopped and stood there, not knowing whether we should keep running or not. He is at the hospital, in stable condition now...thank goodness, poor guy :( After PT, we came back, showered, then had to sit through lectures again allllll day...which is fine, except it was all IN THE SAME ROOM! So it just got really boring and my stomach was growling the whole time because I have much more of an appetite when I actually work out! Haha
So I keep putting off doing laundry, I am gonna have to MAKE myself do it tomorrow or else I won't have anything to wear the rest of the week! Also, I am currently hanging out in the computer lab until this crazy thunder storm passes! I can't believe I had enough courage to walk (okay, I actually ran!) all the way here, thinking I was gonna get struck--I'm not gonna risk it on the way back, that's for sure! Tomorrow we are doing "diversity training" allll day, which is supposed to be really intimate and intense, so that should be interesting.
