Geometry

Current mood: hungry

there have been creepazoids at the pool the past week. young(er) dudes who go underwater and watch me do the flip turns.

or who wait for me to get to the end and then push off just before i flip and race to the other end.

this happens when i'm in the middle of a set and usually getting tired. for my sets, i always do multiples of 4.

a set will typically look like this:

1 x 400
2 x 200
4 x 100

or

4 x 200
4 x 100
4 x 200

i also like

4 x (1 x 200, 2 x 100)

200 is my favorite distance for racing and for training. 400 is also a good training distance b/c you can rack up a lot of yardage quickly. i'll do repeat 100s if i'm felling lazy or my shoulder acts up, which the left one did a little on wednesday. probably b/c i did too much last time.

but back to the task: creepazoids, young(er) dudes pushing off just before me and racing to the other end, usually when i've been going for a while and am winded. and they only race me for one lap. sorry, dude, but races are only 25yds for 8 year old kids.

also, i am not impressed by anyone who gets into the pool and does fly for warmup. that kind of behavior immediately tags you as having no idea what the fuck you are doing.

this blog makes no sense. i'm procrastinating. i am also making plans (the good kind). right now they are 99% being mulled over in my brain. i have only made 1% action, possibly 2%. when i think it over some more, talk to my boss, and talk to my doctor in may i will feel more comfortable making a decision.

i like to come to myspace to listen to music. i do not like how after like four songs, an advertisement comes up that stops the player and you have to click on it to continue listening.

i have also stayed up til past 130am three nights in a row watching that dang "twilight" movie on youtube.

i went to the library and checked out some books on quilting. i am considering sewing a quilt (stitch by hand not machine) as a project for this summer. i have lots of ideas for patterns.

school was canceled tonight. i didn't find out until i showed up 45 minutes late and the classroom was dark and there was a note on the door. i am usually 45 minutes early, and sit in the library and go over my notes/homework b/c i am a model student who makes non-model students want to puke. but today work ran waaaay late. i didn't go in on monday, so i guess i made up for lost hours.
