random thought of the day:

Worst part of my day: grading 10 page papers that are so terrible i am certain i will seriously injure myself from all the head/keyboard contact.

best part of my day: one-legged man in wheelchair chats me and KH up while we stretch on the corner after our run. tells us that when he had both legs he used to run for hours around the reservoir every day (reservoir?). also tells us that he used to walk from baltimore to dc once a month and that it only took him 2 hours. finished up his monologue by advising us never to drink water while running, because it will just drain our energy. 

sad thing is, dude actually made a lot more sense than most of the graduate students in my class. 

sigh.
