It's 9.50 in the evening, finished two-thirds of the pushups and every other chore. All that remains is letter-writing and washup (and the remaining third pushup) and it's bedtime. Freaking finally will I be back in form and on time to bed. In reverse chronological order, here's the things I did today. Here we go.
Got home at 7pm, talked to roommate PK and semi-roommate I whose apartment has been inundated by soot particles due to a broken furnace. Caught up with the gang, read couple of pages from the Genghis Khan book, tried writing a post but kept getting distracted, so cleaned up and did the workouts and finally got myself to write something. Have to set timers to get writing in order, or else I'm just wasting all the slack time I have which is the worst. Also realized that I'd brought in way too many fruits, more than twenty pieces which is enough to go around for as long as I'm here. Maybe I should share some of the fruits with the roommates.
Got to the Dewick dining hall at 11.15, fifteen minutes too late for breakfast but it was alright because the food was amazing. The italian sandwich was so good I'd have happily paid seven dollars for it, and had it for every day of the week for several weeks. And another sandwich. And the fries were so good. And the pizza. And the main entrees for both lunch and dinner. And it was just the lunch food, the dinner was equally good but by then I was so full I couldn't eat anything. Don't even remember how many rounds I had, it's such a great investment to show up at the dining hall in the morning and spend the entire day there. I should be doing this more often, not just for the food but as I said in an earlier post, also for the company socialization and sort of sociological research.
Got quite a lot of writing done -- eight posts in Dewick actually, as well as solid reading, youtubing great engineering channels, and talking to a bunch of nice random women. And the food. Good times were had, and that's all there is to say. Left for home at 6.40ish because the posts were done and I wanted enough slack space to write and for workouts. Listened to Conan O Brien podcast with Dana Carvey later on the way back.
Got up at 8 am, cleaned the house, set things in order, showered, did my work outs and got in the 'right mindset'. Psyched myself out my listening to music, slight cardio, and just ready for the day.
Felt well-rested, productive, fulfilled and generally quite happy today. The long weekend was extraordinarily productive in terms of personal growth, rest and learning. There's still a couple of things I need to figure out and do but that couldn't have been done over the weekend anyway so it's moot.
Nice weekend, hope to have othrs like this.
