Season of Spending
I can't believe I did not blog fer so darn long! Anyway it was my mid term exams the week prior (or was it the week b4?) that I have to concentrate on. Today I just ended my final lab session for career perspective. Cool, no more lesson after law from today onwards. Which also means that I ran out of excuse NOT to go fer training! Damn...
Fer those who din know, I have recently switched to swimming instead of running to keep myself in shape (still not very fit lah). I can't really run that much now cos my knee caps become darn sore after each session. As much as I can push myself, this is not the way to keep myself healthy and neglect my old injuries. Ouch. Joined the swim club for training, which Eugene has been telling to me fer weeks. Actually I tot since this is just a leisure club, how tough can the training get? Oh boy, I was wrong!
The last training was on tuesday, and I am still feeling the after-effects of it. Just a preview of what we are doing. Ok hardcore swimmers, maybe it seem nothing to you. Believe me, I am having a hard time keeping up.
Warm up: 150 swim, 150 pull, 150 kick, 150 swim
Training: 4 X 100 free 10 SR
4 X 100 free 15 SR
3 X 100 kick IM
4 X 125 free & fly/breast/back/free
Warm down: 100 swim
Well not so much the swim that kills me, its the kick that is giving me cramps. Cos when I swim, I usually depend alot on my upper body strength. Kicking is just to keep my body parallel to the surface and propelling myself in the right direction. Well suppose to go training today with Eugene but I guess I will pass on this. Will go down to swim during the weekends (if I din procrastinate).
Another thing has been bothering me till date. I am still not planned out for my schedule until I grad. The most frustrating part is the 27-hr noncore education. I am DAMN fedup with the school system! I am a freaking business student, what good can I get out of an "all rounded" education?!?! Shit man, freaking waste of time! I have shortlisted a few, but the more I look at it, the more I am pissed. Vague information plus various professors have varying teaching and examining methods. AND the information is not readily available, making us students make uninformed decisions that we may learn to regret or suffer from. Furthermore, given that we may want to minor in a subject. And the minor may be within the business course. How is that we cannot take the 27 hr to do something we fancy? And you call this freedom of choice?!?
F*** you IU!
Ok enough of frustrations. Recently a tornado hit Indianapolis, which is scary cos it killed 20 pple till date. There were sirens going about B-town and rouse some sleepy heads ard midnight. Well not this thick head of mine. Think the Baileys is doing some effect on me, making me sleep straight through it and cant be bothered even if the sky drop on me. Well I heard that we are on tonardo watch, meaning that the elements of the weather now is perfect for tonardos to form and destroy [something]. Haha... we shall wait till that day fer more updates!
Aniwae I got my results back fer both econs and law. Pretty good I must say, thanking the Lord for His continuous blessings. Especially for law, when I tot that all is lost. Apparently, I was damn lucky to write the correct stuff and within the time limit. Thank God!
Currently lost myself in Dan Brown's book: Angels and Demons. I must say, the author is darn resourceful to come out with such plots. Each piece fits perfectly and he make use my fav topic: art and architecture of Da Vinci's period. Fascinating! A must-read for all!!
