I fill out internship applications, or at least stare at them for hours on end oddly intimidated by the process. I go to bed. I get up and work, maybe lift weights before hand. Then I come home. There are of course slight variations in the cycle where I'm actually social and life isn't boring, which is nice. More frequently now that I've snapped back into people mode.
Someone put me on the Lyric Opera's mailing list, so I got their 2004 season catalog today. They're doing Aida again! I miss London and the theater and the opera. The voices and emotion and spectacle of it all are so much to take in. Anyone want to give me one of their season tickets to the Lyric?
I really need to either write this FCNL internship application or not. It just keeps taunting me, mostly because I think I'd really love it, but I'm afraid the fact that I have NO experience with the Quakers will hurt my chances. So mostly I have to suck it up and write it. And get the reference forms out to the appropriate people.
Maybe I really will just join the Peace Corp. The economy and my apparent lack of decision making ability when it comes to what exactly I want to do with my own future make it a tempting possibility.

after all these years, i still have the body of the swimmer. you can see it when i slide the bo through my palms, or lift with the lat pull. the curves and indents in my shoulders still show the effect of the backstroke on a form as i stare into the full length mirrors after training, my whole shape overly determined by six years in the water when i was young.
i am preoccupied by form lately, among many other things...

muscles all tightened. it'll be nice when that finishes working its way out of my system. i've learned my thighs are stronger, comparatively, than the rest of my body. wonder why...

have to love random quotes of unknown origin: "the crazy girl with the gun was giving out condoms."
was given two new bo forms in training today. it felt good.

Sometimes there's nothing you can say.

It's still cold in Wisconsin. I left the house today into -5 degree weather. Thankfully we've been spared the windchill, and the sun is out for once. People who wonder why a good chunk of this state's population is afflicted by seasonal affective disorder must be incapable of logic. I've got to keep myself active, because it's hitting me hard and that's no way to live. Time to over-schedule myself so I have no choice but to not be at home sulking--though over-scheduling is harder to do without classes to suck up all of my excess time. I'll just replace it with further job searching. The bookstore is closing in the next few months, and I can't survive on what the Travel Center pays me.
I've taken up weightlifting for the next few months, for better or worse. We're still in the beginning stages, determining what sort of weight load we should be dealing with, so today I found my one max rep on several pieces of equipment. This, needless to say, has left me a little shaky and I know I'm going to hurt tomorrow. But that's okay, because I'm going to end up pretty buff by the end of the semester, if I stick with everything. It's probably actually the best way to deal with the SAD symptoms.
Oh, and I bought a ticket to Prague. Can't afford it, but what the hell.
