rowing
has taken up my entire life.
had race yesterday: lost
had race today: won
race tomorrow: cancelled and all the other races after that. however. the after party is still on. and am planning to pull some random guy. no. i'm kidding. not kidding about the fun bit though.
i tore my back muscle in yesterday's race, and then today i tore it again. and i was planning on racing tomorrow, but i'm sort of relieved b/c my back hurts so much. i'm going to the physical therapist soon.
anyway. i'm looking forward to the wallingford head race. maria and i are going to get in shape for the race b/c we don't want to be shit when everyone else in the boat is amazing.
so plans for this weekend:
study
read
essay
row
erg
pull....i wish.
*sings happy birthday*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRISCILLA/JUAN POLLO!!
I LOVE YOU AND WISH YOU THE BESTEST BETTER 21ST BIRTHDAY OF YOUR LIFE.
muah.
harry potter
saw harry potter last night than ate chips and cheese and talked about harry potter slash with maria and tat. was vvvvvvvvvv. strange.
went to LGB meeting b/c alex was running for librarian. again vvvvvvvvvvvv. strange
than today. found out about a bit of conflict between friends. yet again. vvvvvvvv. strange.
this entire week is setting up to be twilight zone-ish. not good.
this week
so this week has been really hectic...
lots of alex, russell, and maria as the usual.
however, i had to up the work load and the rowing.
i rowed four times between tuesday and thursday. today i was SUPPOSED to go rowing but they cancelled due to a regatta. i'm rowing on saturday and erging on sunday and saturday.
then we have the christ church regatta on wednesday-saturday.
i've had an essay and tute on monday, wednesday, and friday. and today i pulled my first hail mary and wrote my essay three hours before it was due. it was sooo amazing b/c my tutor read it and was slightly impressed. what??
so...rowing and essays. i also listened to heseltine (former shadow deputy something), he's conservative, at the union debate. i was all for more british participation in the EU...it's rather silly. why do all the countries want to slip back into factionism? that's the root of european wars...anyway.
next week:
more rowing, two essays.
i'm watching harry potter in two days! huzzah.
