I am about to eat a samosa burger!

Let's win it Dynamo!

I ran 5 miles for the first time today! Close to 10-K ready!

Saw an abandoned thong panty on the ground outside my classroom today. No other commentary.

Manchester Darby Day! Go MUFC! Beat City!

Just ran 4 miles in 58 mins! New fastest time for this slow runner :)

My first 4-mile run day!

3.5-mile run, coffee & donuts, and Man U vs Swansea. Happy Saturday!

Just ran 3.5 miles! Rain started 30 seconds after I finished.

My landlord just forwarded me an email with no text, only photos of baby animals?

My cab driver, on finding out I'm from Texas: "I think those politicians in Texas just wake up excited to oppress women every morning."

New distance record: 4 miles! Took 2 walk breaks.

"Did you read The Hunger Games? Katniss is a badass." (I love having coffee with 14 year old ladies who read.)

One 14 year old girl to another, "I hate Twilight. That Bella needs to be slapped."

Ran my fastest mile time ever today! 10:39 :)

In my world lit seminar, there are 20 people. I'm one of 3 US Americans. This is why this week is great.

Looking forward to attending Gish Jen's talk this week! nytimes.com/2013/04/28/books…
