It was a good summer

Well, the new semester is kicking into gear and with that, reflections of summer are finishing up. As far as they go, my summer this year has been thoroughly awesome, from the getting-in-shape portions, to AC, and the fact that I seem to have a relatively easy semester ahead of me. I'm getting all my science credits out of the way for my AA, but of course, I love those classes and despite having yet to get the book, I got an A on our first quiz, so I'm off to a good and proper start.

Also, last week, I hit a new insane-cap in the gym. I've bothered most everyone I know about this, but hey, I can express pride in accomplishments. First, the 300 pound squat, for a couple sets on an "intensity night," which I can surely be proud of. Then, later the same night, we decided we wanted to see exactly what the physical limit was for our calves and thighs, so on the leg press, we started with 630 pounds worth of 45 pound plates, incrementing by 90 each set...and don't forget to add the 45 pound runner itself. There were primarily calf-presses, in short, push it up and flex your foot downward. Now do it 30 times. Our last set saw us at 1,015 pounds, and we had used every available plate in the gym, so needless to say, that was an epic ego-boost moment.

Thursday night I have my "graduation night," where I do some walk with yellow tassals or something, in celebration of my GED. Hardly seems celebratory, but oh well. Also, now that word of my travel to AC over the summer has hit among some friends on campus, a few furs have come out of the woodwork oddly enough, so things are generally pretty awesome right now.

Also, it did happen, but you cannot expect me to take it seriously.
