In which Sky is somewhat mellow from working out.

[cerulean_sky]

• I went to the gym today! I feel pretty good about this. I finally got some sports bras and some clothes I can work out in, got a locker at the gym, brought some shower stuff, did it all. (And also totally forgot a towel. Luckily they had some that they let us use.) I rode the stationary bike for 25 minutes on the second hardest resistance. 5 miles, bitches! And then I took a long satisfying shower.

• And then my dad made me walk up the mountain instead of actually bringing me to the top. My legs hate me.

• I has a paper to write for next week. Small one, and not about anything that I don't have a pretty good grasp on, but I'm determined not to put it off. So I'll probably see if I can figure out what I want to write about tonight and see if I can get a little bit of an outline. Look! I can totally be a good student! ...she says, knowing that she has already misplaced the word list for The Bacchae. Whoops. I have to find that tonight.

• Mom and I also got some kitty eyedrops for Nyx. Her eyes seem a little bit better, actually. We'll probably still have to take her to the vet soon, but at least she might not have an eye infection. But zomg. It's like Nyx sleeps all day just so that she can get hyper at 9:30pm. I know this is a cat thing. But she hasn't yet learned where she's allowed to be, so she keeps trying to come up on my desk and walk all over my laptop. Silly kitten.

• Speaking of Mom: she's going away til the end of the month, and while I am looking forward to having the house to myself for a little while—not that I don't love my mother dearly, I just also like having the house to myself—I have no car/driver's license to take advantage of this fact. Curses! Foiled again!

• SPEAKING OF CAR, my dad and I are going to call a bunch of people about their Craigslist ads this Friday, because we can't go see any cars until Sunday. So. Here's hoping that one of the 15 people we call about their ads will have a car that's safe and working and will pass an inspection for when I take the test. I neeeeeeed a car. If only to protect my shoulder/back. I have to carry everything around with me at school. Which always means my laptop, and sometimes means several books including my several pound giant Torah that I need for seminar. Oof. With a car I would be able to leave books in my car if I didn't need them until the end of the day. My shoulder needs it. I was looking at it when I was dressing to work out, and I was like, "Holy shit, I look a little like I've been abused." It's kind of bruised, plus the marks on my back and ribs from where my bag bangs into me. I am clearly a crazy person.

• Oof. It's gotten late. I need to actually go do the things that I need to do.

• P.S. And by the end of this post, it's no longer playing "The USS Make Shit Up"—which, if anyone knows that that is and how it relates to my icon, major props to you. Mira, you're disqualified. :P—and now it's playing "Starship Trooper". Yeah, as in, "I lost my heart to a starship trooper / Flashing lights in hyper space / Fighting for the Federation / Hand in hand we'll conquer space". My music cracks me up sometimes.

I ♥ both you and your music. THAT IS ALL.

AHAHAHAHA. Well, DUH. THAT'S BECAUSE BOTH ME AND MY MUSIC ARE AWESOME.

Aww, poor kitty! I hope she gets better soon.

Sounds like you need a bag that wheels if you can't get a car. Granted a car would be better, of course, but figured I'd throw that idea out there.

Hey, Voltaire! ...and now I want to go listen to that song. Thanks. ;)

Bags that wheel are actually not all that practical on a campus that consists about 1/3 of stairs. I did think about that though. I don't like those bags—I frequently kick them, or injure my ankles on them, &c—so I quickly discarded the idea. Car isn't really not an option. It's just a question of how soon.

Back in my day we didn't have a gym, young lady! :D

[cerulean-sky.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I remember they finished it sometime during my dad's four years. His graduation was in the gym—I can't remember if it was even raining or not. D:

I love to imagine what it was like before the library was built when there were books all over the place.

*giggles* Oh man. That would be awesomely chaotic.
