Life as Master Mary

I graduated with the exact same GPA (3.75) that I had when I graduated from Etown. At least I'm consistent... =)

Last week was our Nigerian Executive Leadership seminar for work, so that kept me busy. We took them to see a Pittsburgh Pirate's game one night, but they didn't like it, so we left after the 2nd inning. I'm probably going to spend the rest of the summer work with David on getting the leadership program up and running because he's probably going to be in charge of it once I leave. (If I haven't mentioned it yet, my proposal was approved at the last faculty meeting!) I'm pretty excited about that.

Marshall came to visit for the past couple days, and we had a lot of fun. We had a cookout with our friends Charlie and Becky one night and went to a Pirates game one night. He's looking to buy a house in Pittsburgh, so we drove around looking at houses a lot.



Other than that, I've pretty much just been looking for and applying for jobs and hanging out with the neighbors. I'm heading out to State College tomorrow for Michael's graduation, and I'll be home at the end of the month for Kim's wedding, so I'll probably see most of you in the next couple weeks =)

Half Marathon Results

The clock time is different b/c walkers started an hour before runners, and they started the clock with the runners. (I also stopped for a potty break partway through)
There were well over 10,000 entrants, so I was in the top half! (ok, statistics are deceiving...4083 people finished the half marathon, avg time was 2:14:52, so I didn't do that great, but I finished!) Better shoes definitely would've helped me a lot. Oh well...next time. It was a great experience. Amanda finished in a little over 2 hours running it.
Official race pictures should be up in a couple days, so I'll post them when I get them. Amanda and I are showering and then crashing. We got up at 4:30 am. What a day, and it's only lunchtime! (We stopped at the Greek Food Festival for lunch...YUMMY!)
