I think i'm in love with the YMCA. It's so much fun. So i went into the weight room on wednesday feeling good about myself for actually getting out there and taking the time to work out (b/c that's what i've really been needing to do for such a long time now) and i was starting to feel strong and buff when i looked over at this black guy whose biceps could destroy me... i was humbled; yet nonetheless i was inspired atleast to work harder so i wouldn't look so string-beany when compared to him. it'll come, just give it some time.
last night jon and i went to the Y and played raquetball for a while-- well, we hit the crap out of it b/c we don't really know the rules. it was still fun anyway. i recommend it as a good stress reliever. :).
After that, we went and did yoga. it was my second time and his first at the YMCA's yoga (he said they did some pseudo-yoga for swim team). we did mostly the same moves; my favorites were the head stand tri-pod style (standing upside down w/ weight on hands and head) and the "crow position": squat as if you were a frog but w/ your palms on the ground, then lean forward and rest your thighs on your triceps, eventually so that you're floating in a tiny, compressed ball being supported only by your hands **no one go and try these at home and break something, i'd feel responsible** it was fun though.
today is my off day. body = so tired. tomorrow caroline and i are going matching style w/ the star wars shirts we bought @ wally world today for sr. dress down day. it'll be rad, i might even wear my cape ; ).
1 more day of pointless class then exams on mon, tues, wed. well, the french exam actually starts tomorrow b/c we have to do this speaking portion during our last day of class that wouldn't fit in the alloted exam time limit. super.
everyone check out my cool new background. you're jealous, i know.
