Well, this week was stressful. I have a slew of teachers who give us a sylabus with all the assignments on it at the beginning of the semester and don't remind us of assignments. Unfortunately I forget, and don't look at the sylabi and in turn don't do the work! Its piling up and I feel like I took on more than I should have (class wise.) I keep telling myself it will pay off, but in the meantime I feel like no break is sufficient.
In other news, I have been reading and practicing a lot more steadily. I think I use both to justify not doing other type of work. It was interesting, in my Orchestral Management class (this class is not a stresser) we were asked to list things we enjoyed doing and at the very top of my list I put reading! I used to HATE, DETEST, ABHOR reading and now its the first things that comes to my mind! Crazy world. I still hate asparagus and brussell sprouts.
I also have recently written two short stories. One that might remind a reader of the movie The Waitress (and I'll admit the main character in my mind was the main character in The Waitress,) but all in all it is a different story I hope. The other... well its a little darker, a cynical, almost pessimistic view on some of society... I think... I will probably post them onto my poetry/prose site: amante.deviantart.com if you are interested in reading them or any of my other writing.
As for exercise and diet, well its a crap shoot, really. When I decide to exercise I do. If there is anything else at hand, I don't. I have uped the poundage on the weights and hope to see some growth in strength. As for diet, I have not failed on my anti-chocolate pretzels, although me and the lady took a late night trip to Baskin Robbins, and that was anti-loose weight if there ever was such a thing.
The lady is wonderful as always, and just about the only thing that keeps me motivated.
On that note, I will end with a quote that I have put out in the lounge from a source I just discovered, which is wikipedia's quote(s) of the day. This quote was Feb. 6th's I believe and its by the great Babe Ruth, "Its hard to beat a person who never gives up."
Thanks Babe, but what if the person beats themselves?
Love and Laughter
