I have a love/hate relationship with the gym. Getting there is the problem, but once I'm there I'll work hard. Sometimes going to the gym is downright amusing. I love it when a buff guy is using a machine that I want, and when I get it I realize that he was doing something that I can easily do (or sometimes something easier!). Today I was waiting for the leg press machine so I could work out my calves, but the only operational machine was already taken by a fairly buff guy. I waited until he was done, then claimed it. I found that he'd had the foot pad set to 5 (pretty far away) and was only doing 180 pounds. pfffft I have it set to 3 (shorter and much harder) and do 230 pounds! bwuahahaha. This actually happens quite a lot, and it's amusing every time.
At any rate, freakout time! I just finished addressing and assembling all of my graduation announcements. AAAAH I'M GRADUATING COLLEGE IN 8 WEEKS. /endfreakout. So yeah, graduation, eh? Yeah, it's kind of scary. I'm excited to be done with UCI and be an Alumnus, but at the same time I'm kind of freaked because, holy cow I'm going to be an Alumnus. I have tons of stuff that I have to do in the very near future -- take the GRE, work with a vet, get letters of recommendation, apply to vet school... In addition to that, I recently found out that all of my health insurance drops the day I graduate. All of it. Doctors? Gone. Optometrist? No more. Dental? Ha! I have been busting my ass to get all of these things taken care of before June 13th. I just really hope that I can land a job with benefits fairly soon.
Thursday 4/16 - UCI mental health re: anxiety
Tuesday 4/21 - optometrist re: prescription sunglasses
Thursday 4/23 - podiatrist re: foot surgery
Tuesday 4/28 - dentist re: normal tooth cleaning
...and hopefully an appointment with my GP to get bloodwork for a physical and to check my cholesterol levels and whatnot again.
graduation 2009,
