Totally awesome day

Today has been so totally awesome. My second (and last) class of the day was canceled. I had a fan-smegging-tastic workout at the gym on the ellipticals. I burned about 175 calories in twenty minutes. I usually burn about half that amount or less in the same amount of time. Yoga was fast-paced and went by very quickly, a good and bad thing at the same time. I did two things today in that class that I've been trying to do for a couple classes now: crow and a position that I don't remember the name to, but requires a whole lot of flexibility, not my strong point. Crow requires that you pretty much put all your weight on your lower arms. I could hold it for about two seconds, but that's a very good starting point. Let me see if I can find a picture.

That's the best picture of it I could find. It requires a balance of strength, balance and flexibility very typical of vinyasa yoga, at least. I haven't ever practiced anything else, so I don't know if that is true of all schools. All I know is that all this working out and yoga make me feel really great about myself. I feel stronger and healthier. I love having pretty much unlimited access to a gym that I don't have to pay extra for.

The only part about this day that wasn't utterly awesome was the food. I had leftover pizza for breakfast and the lunch and dinner in the dining hall wasn't that great. Well I don't know what else to say, so I think it's tata for now.

Cheez-its

I love cheez-its. They're so good. Right now they're serving as a preliminary to dinner because I want to have a late dinner at 9:00 because I really feel like having a sandwich and they only have sandwiches at late night dinner.

I got our microfridge into place today, but the fridge and freezer smell, so my roomie is getting baking soda to absorb the smell from her work. We're going on a small grocery store trip on the weekend to fill it up. The room is a lot cleaner because I had to move stuff to get it into place (the desks are heavy). Most of the stuff was mine so I just pushed it under the bed. I also emptied the trash bins and got more TP from the front desk. I was productive today. Hopefully tomorrow will be at least a little bit as productive.

Hopefully tomorrow I will have my first breakfast in the dining hall. I don't even have one class tomorrow, so I'm going to run an errand for someone, which might take three hours or more.

It's been a good day

When I say that I'm really talking about this little bit of today and the time I was awake yesterday. For the first time in my life I have IMed two people at once. Both are my friends, both are guys, and both are currently living more than a hundred miles away from me. I miss both of them, but I have made some new buddies (I don't know if I can call them friends) at school, so I'm doing alright. The power of technology!

I'm comparing school life with one of them right now, since the other has gone to bed. I never would have guessed that I'd ever be discussing financial aid with him at 12:29 am on a Sunday evening (well, technically Monday morning). Stranger things have happened though, and will continue to happen. Gosh, there are some times I really enjoy life's little surprises and this is one of them. Wow, I really mangled the last part of that last sentence badly.

I think I'm finished with this blog session for now. Good night (okay, good morning).
