This past week as been one of those where I feel completely motivated at work; meaning that I've actually been looking forward to going into work and I actually have a great time while I'm there. It's not because I'm surfing the net or talking all day to my co-workers (like what sometimes happens), it's because I LOVE my project I'm working on. It's a great feeling really. We'll see how long this lasts, probably only a week or two before I'm back to surfing facebook and interrupting people.
Other than work life is going along well. Lately I've been so busy with social engagements, skiing, hiking, and work that I haven't had a chance to just sit down and breathe. That is what I'm doing tonight!
Sunday I had plans to go skiing, but I woke up so late because I was out late Saturday night that I decided against it. Sunday afternoon I ended up going on my first hike of the season in the foothills near campus. A cold front had just moved through, so the air was chilly (but clean and brisk) yet felt great. It would have helped if I hadn't of forgotten my gloves but such is life. I was amazed at how much snow was still left in the foothills, on the north facing slopes and in the canyons... In one canyon I was in the snow was up to my waist basically! While the ski areas in the Wasatch currently has base depths of 150" (or 12.5 feet), this was at Salt Lake elevation! Yay for high snow years.
In addition, last night Hillary Clinton (or Hill-dawg) had a great night! Honestly, I was not expecting her to do well since so much momentum was on the Obama Bandwagon; yet I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, she didn't pick up many delegates, but it's all about momentum. In the national polls last week Clinton trailed Obama by roughly 8 points. Today she trails him by 1.4 points. I still think it's a long shot for Clinton to get the nomination, but things are certainly looking much better than they were. At the very least, we have an interesting couple months ahead! I think which ever candidate gets the nomination, that person owes it to the runner up to ask them to run on their ticket. Both have campaigned their hearts out and I feel that is the most reasonable option. Plus, it's really the only way to mend the democratic party which is currently torn between these two candidates.
Just hoping to ride the high wave I'm going through now for a while
