By the beard of Zeus it’s been too long since I’ve updated my life for my loyal viewers and for that I sincerely apologize. I’ve been no busier than usual, just lazier and tireder. More tired. Whatever.
After last Monday’s insane long practice, the rest of the week was also very difficult and tiring. I didn’t sleep more than 7 or 8 hours each night on the weekend, either, so I didn’t recover incredibly well either. Even though it was daylight savings on Saturday night, I was up late playing video games (surprised?) so it didn’t even phase me. Actually, I haven’t even noticed the hour time change physiologically so I guess that’s a good thing.
This week has been very rough, as well. On Monday and Wednesday we did some threshold sets, and I am just dog tired. However, I swam the sets pretty well. Much better than I did the past two weeks. And on Tuesday we did a sprint set and I hit some really good practice times, so that was cool. This morning (Thursday) we did some longer stuff, so it wasn’t too hard but I was dragging on the bottom of the pool anyways.
I found out last night what events I’m swimming at my first real dual meet this weekend. Tomorrow I have to do the 1000 free, 400 IM, and 200 free relay. Saturday I swim the 200 IM, 500 free, and 400 free relay. Maybe I should rephrase that to say that I am privileged to swim those events, but I’m actually going to die. I think I say that too often. But seriously, look at those babies. Frick!
As far as school goes, I very recently created a rough draft of my 4-year plan. I had the help of my advisor’s TA, and it took about an hour, so I was very glad she could help me so I wouldn’t spend four hours of my own time trying to figure out how to create it. At this point I am going for a biology major and a chemistry minor. I was considering going for a Spanish minor, and it could still be a possibility, but my credit load might simply be too full to do it. I really like Spanish, which is why I would want to do it, and I could take classes just for personal enrichment and not for a minor, but then it would feel sort of pointless. Regardless, I have to take a proctored Spanish exam at some point to test out of the modern language requirement, so I should brush up on my skills at some point.

Nothing else is really that new, I’m sorry if I’m getting a bit boring. I’ve fallen into a routine, and getting up at 5 isn’t as bad as it used to be.
Actually, the past two days, it has been kind of rough to wake up early, because it’s been hard to get to bed early. Our campus started this thing called Human’s Versus Zombies, or HVZ. Basically, this one guy started as a zombie and about 450 people started as humans. When zombies tag humans, they incubate for 3 hours and become zombies who can tag other humans. However, humans can neutralize zombies for 15 minutes with a nerf gun or a balled up sock. I think it’s ridiculous but kind of funny to watch, too. The way I figure, since I’m not participating, I can’t technically be “killed” by a zombie or “neutralized” by a human. I’m actually invincible. I like it.
But the downside is that people are running around screaming until the wee hours. And when you go to bed at 10, 11 is a wee hour. It’s so annoying.
Anyways, next semester I am probably taking chemistry, biology, revelations, and core. Doesn’t sound too bad. For Jan term I’ll probably try to take mask making, drawing, or making glass in a kiln! I gotta get that art elective out of the way at some point.
I’ve been healthy, except that I am tempted by the pizza more often than I should be, which should be never since it’s so greasy. My room is messy, but it’s okay. My clothes are really clean! I was going through a crisis of having wrinkly clothes, but then I went out and got some fabric softener and fabric softener dryer sheets and bleach so the last load I did was so fresh.
I just thought of something cool I did. Last Sunday night, this dude originally from Spokane came to Whitworth to play some music. His name is Tyrone Wells, and he’s actually kind of a big deal. One of his songs was played in Grey’s Anatomy, if that impresses anyone. I like his music, and he played pretty well live. He was preceded by Noah Peller and Jessemac, who are guys from Whitworth. Noah is actually basically the best RA/bass player in the world. And the other guy who actually sang the songs was really good, too. What an exciting day for music.
