Yesterday and today were tough days to do any work. I mean, I did some history reading, but I couldn't think of anything else to do. Another guy was getting a spreadsheet ready for thermofluids, so we didn't have to recalculate everything out for varying conditions, and we're doing it tomorrow morning. Plastics...well, he's barely started teaching us the stuff that will be on the homework. I did 1 problem out of 13 today.

Anyways, just got back from Vale Tudo (meaning "anything goes"...with a couple exceptions). One hell of a workout. I don't remember feeling this tired excepting after the UMass Dartmouth race last year. On the downside, it was my first full class, so I sucked big donkey balls and so was a little slow picking things up, but pick them up I did. After about 2 hours of pure conditioning hell (imagine doing 3 minute sprints with 30 seconds rest between...for 2 hours), we played a version of "King of the Hill". Instead of trying to push someone out of a circle, it was whomever took the other guy down. Some vicious fights. I got tossed most of the time, but I did manage to take one guy down, which felt damn good. But right now my body is battered, aches, and generally just hurts. Strangely enough, I've never felt better in my life. Would be nice to get a girlfriend somewhere along the line, though. Ah well, all in good time.

Time to shower. And slather on that blue gel formula. It feels good to have that stuff numb your muscles. It feels like a cold rain of icy goodness.

Edit: The blue gel stuff can wait until tomorrow...back to reading the Foundation series...
