Relaxing with some books...

Today I got quite a surprise at the office... it was a UT holiday. I actually got up, went into work, sat there for about five minutes before it hit me that I was the only person there. Heading back to my car, I missed the shuttle - so I walked the mile back to my car in really nice weather. I'm definitely not complaining, this holiday could not have come at a better time... Actually I'm sort of kicking myself for not having lined up subjects to run in the MEG while everyone else is out of the office! Modified Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST) anyone?

Trying to maximize my day off - I attempted to go for a run around Rice around noon. I ran about a mile, had a little fall that made something pop, and hobbled back to my car the best I could (now a mile away). Spent the afternoon so far working on a presentation and studying for neuroanatomy, all the while keeping ice on my leg. The old rule of 20 minutes of ice on and 20 minutes off just wasn't cutting it since as soon as feeling came back, so did the pain. Might be a couple days before I really get back into running.

The Houston Aero's vs Chicago Wolves hockey game was really fun. Houston ended up winning by a decent margin and the entire game was really fast paced! It looked like there would be no fights, but with about a minute to spare in the third period, a fight finally busted out. Other highlights included: the little kids playing hockey during one of the intermissions; the cameras that caught people dancing and put them on the big screen; one very strange "dance off". It was all very good times with old and new friends.
