Looks like we got the ball rolling again with this whole blog thing. I bet you're saying, "this piece of shit doesn't blog in like 2 months, and then has the nerve to post THREE times in a week? What the dick?"
Well, first of all all, sir or ma'am, I don't know how to respond to "what the dick?", but I can say that I've found a certain tranquility in blogging lately. It might just be a phase, but on the other hand, it might be me shifting my focus away from video games. This is a pretty awesome thing, because I feel like my life deserves more balance.
Did I mention that I've been hitting the gym? I feel like I didn't get the chance to mention it, but it's totally true. Ever since the night of my friend's party, I've been going super hard. I do lifting for about 45 minutes, and then wrap it all up with a two or three mile run on the treadmill. I know that doesn't sound super "hard," but I feel like my progress is already noticeable. Ideally, I'd like to reach around 14-12% body fat so I'll be able to have a six-pack, but I know that it's gonna take a lot of work. I hope that I stick with it.
I'm actually having a blast at the gym. It's another one of those peaceful things I enjoy doing in the dead of night when I'm awake. Since the fitness center at my apartment is open for 24 hours, I can go in at like 3 AM when nobody else is there. I'm not self-conscious about myself, but I just really prefer being alone when I work out. I guess it's because I don't generally like the bodybuilder-type attitude. Now, when I'm with my friends, it just ends up taking longer. Being alone kinda allows me to do what I like. Sometimes I'll do a few sets of bicep curls until I get exhausted, and then I'll take a little break and start on my chest presses. It just feels nice to be able to pace myself.
Wish me luck with my goals! If I ever DO end up getting mega ripped, I'll be sure to post a pic to show you guys!
In other news, I felt like I should mention that I'm only writing this because I REALLY don't want to study for my Astronomy exam in 4 and a half hours. Not looking forward to that, because I'm really bad at it and I make absolutely terrible grades on the test.
Despite those facts, the teacher loves me. It's because I missed a test this one time because the bus decided not to show up for an hour. When I arrived on campus, I rushed to the campus store to pick up a blue sheet, and headed on over to his office, just praying that he'd be in there. Fortunately, he was, and he was super chill about it. He's a total goober to be honest-- an adorable old man who probably doesn't have a mean bone in his body. I guess he gave me the pass partly because I try to break the silence of the lecture hall whenever he makes one of his corny and painfully unfunny jokes. Thank you, Mr. B.
So that's the class I have the exam for, and I'm only taking more and more time. I'm gonna take a ritalin and get studying asap. I initially intended for this to be a super short post, but you guys all know how I love to go into the juicy details. I always enjoy talking to you all! Take care.
Later nerds
