Because I'm a Music Major...

If you know me well enough, you know that typically the only time I run is if someone is chasing me with a weapon.  Or Justin Beiber.  I have, however, discovered a useful use for running.   Lately, the treadmill has saved me from more...creative outlets of my stress.  Since classical music relaxes me as well, I thought "Why not combine the two for optimal stress-busting action?".  This was a fantastic idea, until I realized that  my need to be conducting the symphony in me head is inevitable.  This would be fine, if I could keep the conducting in my head.  And I was.  Until I suddenly realized that I had been running for a good 20 minutes while full on conducting.  I noticed when I went to cue the French horns and hit my hand on my water bottle.   The gym was packed full of hardcore athletes, and I was conducting a symphony.  They probably thought I was trying to land a plane.  Based on the judgment in their eyes, I stuck out like a Trekky at an anime convention.   But I didn't care.  In the end, stress busting is more important than being judged.  Especially since there's no telling what would happen if I was left to my own devices to bust stress.   Sometimes you just need to conduct the music in your head. 

On a completely unrelated note, I double dog dare you to wear something crazy this week.  For instance, I'm a planning to wear a headband with a huge flower on it.  Why?  Just because.  It makes you feel amazing.  I also love curling my hair.  When my hair is curled, nothing can stop me.  Ok, a bullet probably could, but you get what I'm saying.  Do it. Keep me posted.
