(no subject)

I'm not miserable in school. I never get sick. My measure for if I'm happy or not is my physical health. I was miserable in my last job, and I was constantly getting sick. On the other hand, the building I worked in was torn down - so perhaps I was getting sick because of air in that location?

School gives me a constant flow of things to do, and every moment I spend outside of it is a precious gift. What would I be doing with my life were I not in school? How different would I be? Am I growing more or less because I'm a student? I'm learning a lot, not just classwork but even more humility and gaining more ability to listen to others (not just hear and counter).

Yesterday I got on a metro train, and was warned by a big black guy not to sit on the seat. It had a big loogie on it, in fact almost every seat in that part of the car did. The guy said some kids were acting up. I thanked him and walked down the car. The rest of the ride people made noises of disgust, and walked down the car. When I got off the train, I let an attendant know about the vandalism so someone could address it. On the other hand, I could imagine that it was pretty funny. These kids had a serious affect on a number of adults, and it was...funny. In a spitting off a bridge kinda way. Still, I hope no one sat in any.

My icon is of gay bug sex. Debate tonight. It's nice out. I wanna hike again but I'm busy through early November. Might be fun to walk in the cold. Clean sheets, a big dump, and a rock-hard alibi.

Afterthought - I'm really appreciating the goals I didn't achieve. Every choice that would have closed another door, now that I look back I tend to be greatful I didn't make that mistake (or wasn't able to). Regrets become whew.

Question: Are you still working FT? How many classes are you taking per semester? Now that it is getting cold again I might be seeing you back at the gym :-)

Howdy! I work 7:30 - 4 and then go to school 6-8 M-F. Yes, ick. I only hit Gold's on weekends, typically Sunday. The rest of the time I'm in Arlington Sport & Health for boxing, or going there after my 8pm class since it's across the street from my school.

Suffer! Would be nice to see you round the gym, but I typically hit Rosslyn on the way home from work when I'm not mauled in school.

You listen to people? I may have heart failure...Oh, wait I had that removed. I think that you (as in people) always grow no matter what you're doing. What would you be doing if you weren't in school? Complaining about how you are bored and need some stimulus. We're (as in people) never satisfied with things that are going on, we can always think of how it could be better.

However, I'm going to Chairschool on Sat for my last big hurrah before I go to Florida. Will I see you?

Poop on a stick - you're leaving me?

Just for 6 days. Then I have to get a job pretty much as soon as I get back or I will have to leave more permanently.
