(no subject)
You know, it's really quite peculiar. I am becoming very skeptical of most situations, and I'm forming pretty stupid habits. I hope I don't become those people who MUST disagree with everything said. Ricki was telling me about her friend who insisted on putting her two cents in everything, and at the time, it seemed stupid. But lately, I catch myself trying to be right. I promise there are situations where I feel like I am justified, but then again, I'm trying to think before I speak more. That's a terrible habit. I blurt out a lot of unnecessary things that sometimes don't make things any better. And indifferent comments are pretty useless, I guess. Just a thought.
Week 2 of 5 weeks. Seems to be breezing by. It's a lot of reading, and self-discipline in that reading. For MMW, we're writing a paper (like we do every quarter, duh), but it's weird to have the subject be broad, allowing really modern things. More or less, this is probably the result of jumping from MMW3, learning about Medieval China, to MM6, 20th Century AND BEYOND. That is truly the course title. Apparently the title was changed from just plain 20th Century, and that's the best idea they had. Mmm, UCSD. But I think I have decided to focus on the opposition movement against gay rights in South Africa. My teammates/roommates didn't believe me. But thinking about it, apartheid and such probably will make this an interesting research paper (as opposed to the 15 page POS I wrote on Roman childhood).
We went into talk to our novice coach last night, and I observed two things: 1. She's lost weight, and 2. She's still hella awkward. There seems to be a great deal of recruits, many with rowing experience, coming in. Worried? A little. Especially since a good chunk might be rowing with us on varsity. Definitely more cardio and less, well, eating. Isn't that revolting? Having half of your talent being based on how close to 110 you can get? Whatever, I'll do it. You would honestly think losing weight would be super easy living on my own, but we go over the top with our dinners. Sick.
This is way boring for anyone besides myself. I like to keep myself updated, okay? Plus, apparently mad multi-tasking skills takes a toll on your short term. Suck on that.
