Numb Fingers

This post will take a bit longer to type than my others. My fingers are numb.

I went to bed last night at 8 and got up this morning at 8. Holla! A full twelve hours of sleep.

Yesterday evening I had my art class and then Chem lab. *sigh* My chem lab partner is nice, but she doesn't do anything. Frustrating. After leaving the lab I went to the Collegium, the exclusive little lodge for commuter students and worked on my Russian homework while eating Mac'n'Cheese (I had one of those little microwavable bowels). While studying, Kallie, who works at the desk in the Collegium and is a senior majoring in Physical Therapy, came over and we struck up a conversation. I've talked to her a few times, she's really nice and we have good chemistry together. We ended up talking about my ROTC stuff, her Senior Capstone Paper (the first I've ever heard of it, apparently to graduate from SPU you have to write a 50 page thesis paper on a subject of your choice dealing with your degree) and just life in general. She convinced me that I needed to take the night off and just chill, especially after I told her about all the time I spent in the library. So that's what I did.

Last night I came home, changed into my pajama's, made a bowel of Ramens and watched a few episodes of The Fullmetal Alchemist. I love that show. I like how they combine science and military stuff in that anime and how it clearly advocates reason over religion and action over indifference. Hrm, maybe I picked it out for those reasons? My mind has been gumbo lately with all the scientific/reason stuff pouring in one ear and the religion/faith stuff going in the other. I know that it will take time to sort it all out, but still...

I didn't make it too long. I was in bed pretty early.

I got up this morning and went for a walk along the beach. Christiana called and I talked and laughed with her for about an hour. I miss her, she's a great friend. And now I'm here. The feeling is slowly returning into my fingers (it's cold outside, very cold).

Yesterday I had a PT test. I did really well on it. Not as good as last month, but far from failing. It was funny though, all the first year ROTC guys (the freshmans) failed and all the fourth years (the seniors) passed with 300's .....it's like a before and after photo shot.

But do you want to talk about SORE!? Holy cow. My abdomen, my back and my shoulders have never been so sore in all my life. I've been stretching them and all that good stuff, but it makes no difference. I impressed Ginny the other day when I showed her my stomach, it's tightening up quickly and I've got a little four-pack. Kinda scary. I don't really recognize it much.

Alrighty guys, well I'm off to gather my things and go to the library. I have SO MUCH WORK TO DO  *sigh*
