A Procrastinator's Ramblings (part "lost count long time ago" of "way too many to predict")
Mood:
chatty
Analysis studying has been going blah. I've looked about 60 of the 80 or so problems assigned throughout the quarter. I've only been able to 20 of them. Some of the ones I can't do are the ones we even turned in (obviously I got them wrong the first time too). Blarg. Wednesday is going to suck so much. At least Michelle took 2 of my hours from me at work which works out nicely. It will allow me to go to the gym and attend the Cardio Fabulous class which I've never been to before. And then I'll be on track for studying from 1-8:30 or so. I was thinking about going to the Step class too at 4 but I think I won't considering how much I'm not absorbing Analysis.
Speaking of gym classes, I went to the abs one today. I hadn't been to the abs class since last spring. I tried it at the start of Winter quarter but didn't care for it because I didn't feel like I worked anything.
And then naturally I was scared to do intense abs work. Since then I've been slowly working my way back up. At first I was just doing 25 crunches then sitting up for a break and then a second set. Then I went to doing 25 crunches in the middle, and 25 on each side with some lying down pauses between sets and whenever it felt like too much. And more recently I've gone back to where I was before, 3 sets in the middle and one on each side for a total of 125 with some pauses (although yesterday I nearly went straight through). So I felt confident to try the class again and especially since I could actually make it this week. Although I think it was at the same time during the quarter and I could have technically done it, just not changing for class like I did Tuesdays and Thrusdays but my class was in the silo which is a) farther b)more people packed more together. Not to mention that leaving about 5 minutes early in a half hour class is kind of a lot. Anyway, I didn't feel
too out of place attending in the last week since the instructor was subbing for someone else for this week so she didn't know per se that I was "new." And I found out that she'll be teaching the abs and step classes over the summer. She said it would be the first time she'd be teaching the step class which was good news to me so hopefully it won't be
too intense, especially with my knee and calves acting up the way they have been lately. Actually I had to cut my treadmill extremely short today but my left leg just didn't feel right at all after a few minutes. Normal burns I would try to work through but this one today was different...it really hurt but it wasn't my knee like it has been for the past 5 weeks or so. Afterwards, the pain shifted to my right quad and hamstring. Go figure.
Interesting...this started off as an "Analysis sucks!" post and turned into a gym post. And now turning into a "silly Valencia" post.
So they sent us those notifications about painting for last week but only did railings and the fronts of 4 sections. When I came home today, they finally covered our windows so I guess we'll be painted tomorrow. It's just so silly that they apparently got hardly anything done last week and are now bugging us during finals week. And poor Julie...she has had to keep her windows closed for th past week for the non-existant painting. At least it has been cooler the past couple of days so she hasn't had to suffer too much from the heat.
