First Monday Down

Today I had to get back on the grind of classes.  I have both a new philosophy and theology teachers which I wasn't expecting.  It is somewhat disappointing just because I already established a relationship with the previous teachers and now I have to do that once again.  In other words suck up as much as I can.  I still just despise my LC's and those may be once again close to my toughest classes.  Chemistry was not bad today, and the teacher seems really nice and somewhat easy, but I hope I'm not eating my words later on in the semester.

After getting done with classes at 1, I was somewhat bored to be honest.  I wasn't tired enough for a nap, and didn't really have any homework.  I was thinking that I wasn't going to work out on my first day back, just because I'm trying to adjust and get my schedule down and whatnot.  But, eventually I just decided to hit the gym.  I completed Day 1 of my training schedule that Meredith so nicely put together and I just felt all around good hitting the weights.  It really surprises me how much exercise can actually make you feel all around better.  Instead to sitting around bored, I was being productive and improving myself.  I finished my lift and realized that even though I wasn't really feeling like working out before it, I was so happy I did and I just had a complete mood change.  Nothing like pumping some iron.

Then after lifting, a bunch of people decided to go out and play pickup, so after eating a little bit, I hit the field for the first time in like five or six weeks.  It felt good to get out there and kick around with the guys.  Supposedly we are going to try and get more pickup sessions together, but who knows if that will actually work out.  A bunch of 18 to 21 year old college guys aren't the best coordinators of schedules.  But it was definitely very nice lacing up the boots and getting on the turf again.

So after a full day of classes, I felt very good about my productivity and exercising.  Even in times of doubt or uncertainty, it is ALWAYS good to work out.  You will always feel much better.  So overall, it was a good first day back and a day full of new classes awaits me for tomorrow.

Deuces,
