karriezaiSo tomorrow will be my first day of Monday classes. I'll have to find time to go to the gym... I mean, I could just run, but I'd prefer to go to the gym. I could go after class, but I wouldn't have time to do the rock wall afterward. I suppose I could do the rock wall first, except I at least want to stretch first, and I won't have time. I could go between JOUR100 and HONR100 -- that's about two and a half hours, that's enough time. The whole showering thing will suck though. I'll work it out.
I'm listening to Laura on the phone with her parents, phasing in and out of English and... I guess Taiwanese? I don't know exactly what. But it's interesting to notice how the speech inflections are completely different from English. That's the writer in me coming out.
Anyway. So Danny left for Vegas this morning. We went to bed just before 3 and woke up at 6:30. Arty drove us... he's a weird kid. He asked me on the way back, when he was driving me to College Park, if there were any creepy guys in my dorm, so I told him about the kid from my Creative Writing seminar... who isn't exactly creepy, but who didn't seem to care that I have a boyfriend... and Arty said that to a lot of guys if your boyfriend doesn't go to the same school, if he isn't around all the time, then he doesn't matter. Like they can still edge in. He said a lot of guys just assume a lot of girls will cheat... or something like that. I didn't reply, my mind was already moving on to another subject, but a minute later he said, "You don't have to reply to that, that was awkward." Haha. "I took it as rhetorical," I told him. He's a strange guy in some ways, but harmless, and nice enough.
Danny'll be in Vegas until Thursday, which isn't bad considering I'll have school through Thursday so I might not have seen him anyway. I hope he has fun, but I do wish I could go... and I was 21 so I could actually DO stuff if I went...
So yeah. The schoolwork isn't so bad. It isn't really necessary to close read a lot of the assigned reading -- skimming is fine because lecture covers the pertinent info from the reading. I had a group assignment in COMM200, but I did the hard part and it didn't take long. Hopefully my group members will mostly be able to copy-paste-rearrange what I sent out -- tweak and improve it.
I'm working out regularly. It's weird to say since it hasn't even been two weeks of working out regularly yet, but I've been on top of it with no reluctance or anything. And I go to Black Belt Club Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 to 10:30 at night. My workout outside the club consists mostly of twenty minutes on the elliptical trainer, stretching, sit-ups (not necessarily in that order), and climbing the rock wall since I can't do push-ups. If I'm at Danny's, I run. I'm learning to pace myself so I can actually run the full mile... then sit-ups, and stretching still. I'm gonna try to do maintenance stretching on "days off" from exercising, and hardcore stretching whenever I go to the gym. Anyway, since it's been just more than a week, my muscles are still adjusting. It's not really painful, just uncomfortable.
I'm also getting sick, it seems. A tiny bit of a runny nose and a sore throat. Wonderful, right?
So far it hasn't rained, but that'll suck. For classes and for working out. The temptation to just not go out in the rain at all will be great. Especially since I don't have an umbrella... I should invest in one of those. Or a poncho or something.
Aaaand I was a little nervous, but I did exempt out of JOUR181 with an 88-point-something... I'm glad because I was expecting a bare pass, like an 80 even or something, haha. I'm so glad because that frees up my Wednesday. I have one lecture at 9 in the morning and the rest of the day is mine. Or my job's once I get one... lol. Speaking of which... I really hope someone hires me. I applied at Starbucks and filled out a multi-purpose campus application... I suppose I should go looking around some more. I could apply to become a shuttle bus driver for $10 an hour except I hate driving...
