Ass-whupping resumes and geek dreams ensue.
Went to the Physical Therapist today, who confirmed that even though my wrists ARE to some extent effed up, I can still head to the Swamp and punch things, as long as I'm careful and pay attention to the pain (which I tend to ignore, REALLY bad idea, it's there for a reason) and modify whatever I'm doing in such a way that it doesn't hurt any more. Plus she gave me a set of exercises to do that will strengthen my tendons, and hopefully get me to the point where I don't have to modify anything.
This also means that I can work out on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Aaron and Judd, and not feel like a wuss about not doing push-ups. It was pathetic...last time I worked out with Judd a week or two ago, I could only do 9 in a row before doing them on my knees. BAH. I used to do 4 sets of 25, dammit. Gotta get back into that...
In other news, I've got an Econ prelim on Monday that will be really difficult. Really got to buckle down and study intensely for this one. Econ is one of those subjects that just doesn't stick in my brain-- individual little concepts I understand, but when it comes to seeing the entire system as a whole I get confused. BLARGH. We'll see.
Currently I'm working on a theory paper for my privatization class...I really like the prof, but I'm a little scared because I have a feeling she's a tough grader...and I'm really not sure what her expectations are. Fascinating material, though...I've been dreaming about it (how exactly you dream about privatization policy, I'm really not sure, but I know I wake up with lists and connections and concepts whirling in my head...) so it's been percolating in m'brain for the past week or so. Heh...at least in my subconscious mind. Let's see if my conscious mind can actually DO something coherent with it.
