I've been reading all the pretty horses ALL day. We've had this assignment all summer, but alas, the procrastinator in me has saved it for this last weekend. yay! Everyone has been telling me they haven't liked it, but I do. FoBa told me the character Eli Cash in The Royal Tenenbaums was created after the author of this book, so maybe that has added to my enjoyment, being that I love that movie and find that character hilarious. Probably not though, it's just a good book. And I don't even like horse books.
I cannot wait to get back to crew. After like two days of being home I was itching to get back in a boat. However, recent erging has left me rather depressed... I have seem to spent the last couple of weeks having a great time losing all kinds of fitness... damn damn damn. I hate having to get back into shape. I'm still in pretty good shape, but it's frustrating to think that a few weeks ago I was at the top of my game. Bah! Actually, at the end of worlds I was pretty worn out. My body sort of took a beating this summer, with injuries and what not. I guess it was really good of me to take the time off so I can hit it really hard this fall, but I'm still annoyed with myself.
Right now I feel like doing a million things in a million different directions which results in me doing nothing at all. It's strange how too much determination and being overwhelmed with all the possibilities can have a paralyzing effect. Or it could just be that it's almost 1 am and it's hard to do much of anything at such an hour. I'm going to go finish Pretty Horses and go to bed.
