The Pleasure and the Pain I recently went along to the Melbourne Marathon, here in Australia, to watch some of my team (Fiona, Johnny and Mikey) punish themselves for 42.2 km's (26 miles). Aaah the pleasure and the pain of it all. The agony and the ecstasy. They all finished and they all did great. Well done guys.

I keep thinking that I'm completely done with standardized tests. I took the SAT and ACT in high school and thought how great it would be to not take anymore tests. But I wasn't counting on placement tests and the other opportunities my professors found to pull out the Scantron sheets in college, and I certainly wasn't thinking about the placement exams necessary for graduate school and many jobs.

Lately, it seems like I've heard a lot of suggestions to write everything down: if I want to get my finances in order, I should track every penny I spend. If I want to eat better, I should track every calorie I consume.
