random thoughts
Today is Paddington the Bear's 50th anniversary. I loved Paddington as a kid. Along with Sammy the Seal, the 10 (or was it 12?) Chinese Brothers, Amelia Bedelia, Frog (who) went a courtin', Peanuts, & Garfield.
I just looked outside, and the sky is the most vibrant red-orange. I so want to be outside right now...
Today is my one year "anniversary" of being a "real" runner. I've liked to run for a few years now, but never really trained for anything like I have for the last year. At least now I just have to maintain my running shape, I don't have to continue to build miles.
I am starting to feel like I need to be committed. I think I've decided to drop diff eq four times in the last 24 hours, then changed my mind because I hate the idea of giving up. (I've actually been debating this off and on since last Wednesday, but it got really bad yesterday.) If my teacher continues to teach the way he has for the last 2 class periods, I have half a shot at a decent grade. If he doesn't, I'm not going to be a happy camper for all of the spring semester.
I have two more pounds to go, and I will have officially lost 100 pounds. It sucks that it's taken 3 years plus to get off the last 30#, but at least I've managed to keep it off. It still boggles my mind that I ever weighed that much to begin with, but I wouldn't go back to that kind of life & health if I could have all the money in the world. I'm much happier now.
I'm ready for the semester to be over, I've about had it with the math classes. Then again, next semester will probably by physics 2 and another engineering class. But at least the math seems less annoying when I'm actually doing something interesting with it...
For all my frustrations with Cedar Fair & the GL saga, I actually missed the whole working as a ride op at CP thing over the weekend. Yeah, it was Columbus Day weekend & usually two absurdly busy days, but sometimes absurdly busy days were fun. At least when the guests were still pleasant, and not overly cranky after standing in long lines all day. I'll never do another full summer again (that drive is miserable by June 15th), but maybe down the line I'd think about doing a few weekends in the fall. Maybe. Then again, why spoil the good thoughts I've been having the last few days? ;-)
