This morning all I can think about is the fact that I've passed the law-school hump. This was the last paper I feared, and while it's not done, it is close - already reaching McPaper status. The only paper I have left is the silly alteration of the existing will. Other than that I just have exams to face - but I don't mind exams at all. I even booked extra time for studying, which means I WILL have time to relax and play. That's during this semester - I am taking a (hopefully) fun class this summer in emerging internet privacy law, which will diminish my studies next semester. I will not have these crazy writing classes, and expect to only have the regular burden of studying...for the next two years. That pace I can keep up while still having some play-time over the weekend. I hope I am not wrong, though I note while this semester was harder than I had hoped, I got to play far more this semester than in semesters prior.

The one thing I did for me this weekend was box a lot. I am one tired box-bot. I'm ditching a lot of my workout just to focus on boxing - I want to bench 225 but when I do I'm not sure I'll keep up with the weights. Even just doing drills makes me happy, tired, and fucking hot. Me likee this body.

For some reason my big fantasy of taking everything I know and shoving it into my head as a child is huge again. Perhaps it is because I would like to be working less, perhaps because I am working so hard now I miss the light of day. Today's hectic schedule aside, I'm a little more in tune with living today than regretting yesterday. I don't know what hump I passed, but haunting memories of stupid things I've done have really diminished in their frequency and strength in the past few months.

I do kind of have one fear of not being in school. When I spend all this time by myself, working, having no contact with anyone - I have a reason. I'm in school, there is no choice. I've spent hours and days alone before school - perhaps it's only in my mind that I'm actually missing people. I like people in the abstract, but somehow the real situations never seem to congeal. Perhaps being in school only looks like the problem, that were I not I would have lost all my friends anyway. I'd be at home alone on a beautiful day watching television instead of studying.

Today I get paid to drive my car to Timberville, VA, visit a slaughter plant, and drive back home. I get paid my salary plus mileage, and I drive a 4-c honda. I giggle that I get money to do something fun. Pure Funk is in the cd player...

I am still tempted by the boxing, but I don't think I can really commit to any sort of ongoing class right now. The summer road-trip season is almost here...

It's not a long-term commitment, you can come some times and nto some times. They don't take attendance. It is a HARD workout though, starting with like an hour of calestetics. Or an half-hour, I lose track. Again, all types are in there - the past two sundays had a retarded guy. He's fun - makes sound effects.

*not* the one with Play That Funky Music, White BOy?!

I spent last summer listening to that and "Brick House." I am such an 80s dork. :)

Yup! I actually don't like Brick House...the words just annoy me, though the beat/song is nice. Jungle Boogie sends me though...

Boxing

Is fun and a great workout. My brother taught me how to box. I always wanted to get into kick boxing but I was always under weight .... now that I am 115 I may look into it again. I start working out soon with weights, this should be interesting since I have never worked out before, but I have a good trainer.
