anytime spent in New Orleans-priceless

I sent in my UNO graduate school application yesterday afternoon, and I submitted a college transcript request last night.  My plane bound for New Orleans leaves next Wednesday at 9:40 in the morning.  I'm taking the Praxis II Elementary Content test in Towson at 7:30 am April 28th, and the fall semester 2007 starts in the middle of August.

It's a lot happening all at once but I can't wait to get started.

On a different note, I was able to get in my run tonight without piling on the layers and braving 20* plus wind.  A friend from my running club offered to let me use her treadmill since it's been so cold this week, and was it ever great to run in shorts and a t-shirt.  I ran 7 miles in an hour and 11 minutes and afterwards we talked marathon training and our favorite races for over an hour.  We've both run Marine Corps, NCR, the Annapolis 10-Miler.  

Nothing cheers me up like 7 miles out of the cold.  That, and the Oh, My NOLA CD I bought this afternoon-thanks roadwarrior220 for the tip.

The CD is Harry Connick Jr.'s latest offering. It's a bunch of songs that are considered New Orleans classics (stuff like "Workin' in the Coal Mine"), with his own spin on them. He wrote four new songs for the CD too.

I cranked up "Yes We Can" as loud as I could, just like he suggested in the album's liner notes.
