While I don’t have too many photos, here’s what my September has been like so far:
Another Trip to the Zoo
My best friend and I taking the same photo we took four years ago in the same place freshman year of college.
One of my best friends came to visit for her birthday and we went to the zoo.
He was trying to escape and come home with me.
This time, I got to hang out with the turtles even more than I did the last time (and if you saw my Wordless Wednesday post, you know I love turtles). It was a fun day, and my best friend finally got to try the mac and cheese truck here in Philadelphia.
Baseball players foam roll and theraband just like ballerinas do!
HQ and I also went to a baseball game for the first (and only) time this season.
Started a Part-Time Job
I said goodbye to my summer internship (which I’ll miss, a lot) and started a new part-time job in an office building a half a block away. It’s a pretty nice job, and I get to do a lot of writing, which I love.
Struggled with Allergies…
Ugh, normally, I love fall. But not this fall. My allergies have hit full force and it’s made getting to ballet and getting running done difficult because of constant headaches and congested sinuses. Lovely, I know. It’s part of the reason I feel like I’ve fallen behind in ballet class and why I’m nowhere near ready for this 5K next weekend like I wanted to be.
…and with Shin Splits (again)
Because of my lack of practice in both dance and running lately, leg pain hit me full force last week in my Thursday ballet class, so much that I wanted to cry. I had some realizations about my hyper-extended legs (partly thanks to @dancinbranflake on Twitter!) and learned they’re an extra thing (along with my overpronating feet) that I really need to be careful of in class. I took the entire weekend off from both, but I’ll hopefully be back at it this week.
What has your September looked like?
