"The Incredibles"
A trend is forming. Someone ust barely beat me to the shower. I think this morning it was my roomate's girl friend. In any case, no time to shower so I put on work out clothes and went straight to class. I thought I was 15 minutes late. Turned out I was like an hour late. The class started at 9:10 instead of 9:45 today. Whoops. No loss though so far as I can tell. Went to the gym after class. I left my ID in a Barnard dorm last night but a friend loaned me hers so I could swipe into the gym. Nice of her.
I used an exercise bike for 20 minutes and did abs and shoulders. The high was much briefer and less fulfilling this time. Stationary bikes just don't do it for me. And the bikes on the lower floor of the gym face a blank white wall. Not very scenic. If I go again I should bring a book. Dunno that I will go again though. I think I'll switch back to running. See how long I can coast on the runner's high. The more endorphins I can pump into my system the better right now. Maybe some heavy lifting will have a similar effect. Just gotta do enough tissue damage and the chemicals start flowing.
No lunch plans so I nuked Indian. Nothing terribly exciting.
Returned the ID in reg state and half listened/half played poker. Crammed some con law during the break and was thoroughly distracted by a friend on IM during class. No notes for today as a result. Very sad. I'll read a hornbook I guess. Right. That'll be the day :-P
Wrote up a protocol for use of a prototype student senate message board. Attended a web committee meeting at 4:15. The guy who called the meeting didn't show. Odd. But I still got a lot done. Hopefully the project will be moved along on the administration side.
Played online poker until 6:30. Went to the NHK (Japanese Legal Society) dinner in celebration of New Year (just a tad late). The food was ok. Hard to find vegetarian stuff at their events. Went from their to Le Monde (which I am thoroughly sick of) for Weil Gotshal's reception. It was the worst event there yet. Had a few drinks to get the taste of the beer out of my mouth from dinner. I guess my total for the night was 4. Not great but not unreasonable. Picked up my ID at Barnard dorms on my way back to campus. Went to see "The Incredibles" at Lerner Cinema (on campus like chem 194 at Davis). Turned out a bunch of my undergrad friends and one of my law friends were there too. We all sat together in the back. Good film. Made me laugh a little. I'd certainly recommend it to anyone who liked Monsters Inc. or Ice Age.
Came home to do laundry. Still doing said laundry. I'm on load 3. Dunno how so much piled up. I think too much in the cold basement when I fold laundry...
I wouldn't be so hard on myself if it hadn't been such a stupid thing to do. One bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. I had nothing to gain and everything to lose and I lost. Of course, I was only getting what I deserved. But it's very hard to pick ones self up after making a mistake like that. I'll probably get over it some day. Maybe it will be too late by the time that happens. Maybe it won't matter. Maybe everything will be perfect.
