Oooooh Another Blog!

Ah, well, to start things off, I woke up at 11am. I decided nearly the second I woke up that I would go work out. I sat down at my desk, came up with my plan, sniffed myself to see if I stunk too much (I didn’t) and set off… For breakfast. I had scrambled eggs with green peppers, red peppers, ham, and cheese. Along with that I had french toast (they were out of pancakes) and a biscuit with gravy. I ate it pretty quick, so along with the Powerade I bought to drink while working out, I bought a Dasani.

Anyways, when I got there I started out with cardio, as usual. Seriously, I run before I do anything. Hell, I don’t even stretch until I ran for a bit. But the thing is, I ran for a long time today. About 70-75 minutes total. Non-stop, too. I felt different while I ran today. Early on, I felt my legs burn and my breath go short, but as I kept running, my legs started to feel better and my heart regulated. I don’t know if this is good or bad, but it helped me run and burn over 800 calories.

After running, I went on the bicycle thing for a bit. I always thought it looked sorta fun. Turns out it’s lame. Go figure. After that, I headed for the free weights room. I started out with a machine I saw someone use yesterday: the ab cruncher thingy. Man, I tried to do it at the last guy’s settings (100 pounds) and nearly had an aneurysm. I cut it down to 30 pounds and felt a nice burning in my abs. After that, just some chest, biceps, and triceps.

So, on the way back, I noticed it was sunny outside. Because of this, I took the long way back. Sure, I felt really cold in the shadows, but when I hit sun, I felt goooood. By the time I got back to the dorm, though, my arms and legs were numb =(

And so I got back, did the shower thing (I didn’t take one when I woke up), and got on Facebook. Ryan was on and he was like, “Dude! Come over and play Left 4 Dead!” I still didn’t really want to come up to his cluster, so I told him I’d flip a coin. He won, and I ended up going up.

When I got there, the game ended up lagging a lot so we quit. Ryan then wanted to go play racquetball. We thought this a fun idea, so Ryan, Tom, Sean, David, and I decided to go. But alas, I was in flip flops and had to go change. When I caught up to them, David was gone (we went to play soccer instead), and Will had joined us, so it still ended with an odd number of people, so one person was always taking a break.

We had fun. I took some nice pictures.

And so, after we were all done we went to the smoothie/coffee thing inside the IMA for a little treat. I got like a raspberry and yogurt thingy. It was pretty tasty. After we had our drinks, we headed back. I wanted dinner, so I went with them to their cluster.

But alas, everyone (except Ryan, Brent, Alicia, Bryonne, and myself) were going to Dick’s for dinner. Brent and Alicia already ate, and Bryonne was already eating. So Ryan and I just got some food to go and ate up in the cluster. I spent some time in Ryan’s room, and I spent some time with Bryonne. After a while, though, I just left. I didn’t want to stay there long or I might get back in the habit of going there too frequently.

Anyways, now I’m here in my dorm again. Tomorrow I’ll probably try to do homework. Won’t that be fun to write about?

*Again, people I mentioned*

Ryan: He’s the phototaking, photoshopping master of all time. I think I’ve mentioned him before. We bump into each other a lot.

Tom: A good person. He’s learning to play guitar, and he’s pretty good at Halo and other games. Sometimes he doesn’t have dinner with the rest of us because he is with one girl or another.

Sean: He’s another WoW player. Finally got his first 80. He’s also quite athletic and strong. Pretty much a well balanced person.

David: A Chinese guy. He talks about dicks a lot. He likes to trash talk people in Halo, too. But really, he’s a funny person.

Will: Another person who goes to the cluster often. He’s a tall white guy. Doesn’t have as much mass as Sean, but still pretty good. He’s into sports a lot, I think.

Brent: I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned him before.

Alicia: Brent’s girlfriend. She’s pretty much a female version of Brent except shorter. She hang out at the cluster nearly as much as I did first quarter.

Bryonne: David’s girlfriend. She’s like Andy but female and a lot nicer. She drinks like a man, though.

Gabe: A good man. He draws really good. He’s a pirate, though. His girlfriend cuts hair.
