Not really an interesting entry, just this and that11:00 a.m. - 2004-04-16
The internet at school today is running like a giant turd. That is to say, not too well. Although, actually, I’ve never seen a giant turd run. Well, you know what I mean. I’m tryin’ to read up on Disco, and just generally catch up on my reading, but all the images are down, and I keep getting that “Cannot find server” screen. I hope it’s not a d-land problem.
So, I really don’t have much to talk about today. I’ve just been doing so well with updating, and I don’t have to workout today at school, so I have 2 hours to kill.
Yesterday, I had my hill run. Which was just as delightful, maybe even more so, then my fast run Monday.
Me: Hello, Wall.
Wall: Hello. *quietly laughs ee-villy*
I think I will be stuck on this week (week 2 of my plan, found a few pages back) for another week, unless my slow run Saturday is easier. Even then, I will probably have to repeat this week, ‘cause next week is not possible. I can’t just increase each run segment by a minute just like that. I JUST CAN’T! I am feeling good about all the exercise I’ve been getting. On my pedometer, I’ve had around 10,000 steps every day, which is pretty stinkin’ good.
Oh, I saw a husky running around the campus yesterday. At first, I thought he was on a leash. Then he started chasing some geese, and I realized he wasn’t. I couldn’t bring him to class with me, and I didn’t have time to go all the way across campus to the campus police to drop him off (he had a collar on, so he probably got out of someone’s yard), so I didn’t catch him. I felt bad all day about it, but it’s a crowded campus, so I bet someone else found him and called the owners, or whatever.
Oh, I’m registered for next semester. I am taking: Organic 1 (3 credits), Basic Inorganic (2 credits, and apparently “challenging”), French 2 (5 credits), and Analytical Geometry and Calculus 1 (5 credits). My brain may ooze out of my ears. If I stop writing over that semester, it will be because the brain has all oozed out.
So, this is a pretty dull entry. What can I say, I’m tired. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned on here before:
Ben, my cat, is a snuggly little so-and-so. He has to be touching some living, breathing person at night. I’ve had him for almost 11 years now. You’d think he’d learn.
I can’t sleep on my back (okay, I have a few times when I have a cold and I can’t breath, and I toss and turn all night until I doze off fitfully on my back, but that is a rare exception). Every night, 'cause cats just love a schedule, Ben waits until I’ve just dozed off, and then he nuzzles me with increasing tooth-y-ness until I roll over groaning, so he can “knead” on my stomach. Then, he turns around once and lies down on my chest and stomach. I generally lay there for a few minutes in the hope that he’ll fall deeply enough asleep that he will just go lay down and sleep already! Then, I slowly roll over, until I am back on the comfort of my stomach, and he has slid off me, and is sitting next to me, disgruntled. I doze back off. He waits a few minutes, and then the nuzzling and the tooth-y-ness returns. I roll back over; he kneads for a few more minutes, and then turns in a circle and lies back down. I wait even less time, because I am barely treading water in the sea of sleepiness, and turn back over, generally mumbling incoherently something along the lines of, “Ben, please I am so tired pleasejustleavemealoneIneedtosleepplease.” Ben finally gives up and lies down next to me. He has been doing this every night for probably 3 months now. I expect that perhaps once I fell asleep for an hour or so when he was laying on my chest and stomach, and now he just keeps hoping that I will fall asleep again and he will be allowed to sleep on that state of nirvana: my chest and stomach.
