Hear's the Deal

Yea, it's spelled wrong.

Yea, I did it on purpose.

No, there's no reason to it except I wanted to and you're listening to what I have to say and there was nothing else to title this post that jumped into my head at the time.

No, there's not really a point to this post.  Just me talking about my life in general right now because it's final's week and I have a free day/ night that I don't have to flip out about a test so I decided to write on here.


We had our first Steeple workout today.  Not sure what to think of the freshman yet.  There is definitely some potential there but it will take a lot of polishing to get good steeplers out of them.  I know it's early.  I know indoor track hasn't started yet.  But I also know that it takes a lot of work to be good at the steeple if you haven't ever really hurdled before.

I'm pretty excited about it though.  Hopefully I can shave some MAJOR time off my PR and place well on the team this year.  (Last year I only got 2 opportunities to run the event and ran a 10:14 the second time out, 14 seconds better than the first.)  I'm also looking for redemption in the 10k on the track, that dreaded 25 lap race that seems to drag on FOREVER.  We'll see how this season goes...

(For those of you who were lost at "Steeple," here's a site you might want to visit.  It could come up in later posts.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steeplechase_(athletics))


This semester has been very lack-luster for me.  I seem to have actually started college now.  Last year I had no trouble with any of my classes and breezed by just like I did in high school, not really studying and getting A's on the tests.  Up until last this semester, I'd never gotten below a B in any class.  That streak has ended, and gone down in a blaze of glory I might add.  Three of my four classes will be getting a B or lower, mostly lower.  O. chem, Micro Bio, and LSD Psychology are all dumb.  Just so you know.

But it's really my fault.  I got really lazy this semester and fell into a giant pit that I couldn't dig myself out of.  A lack of effort in the beginning of the year due to the lack of effort I'd had to put forth in previous years caused me to take off with a sliding start and just keep going down the hill from there.  I've recovered (somewhat) from what it could have gotten to.  Even considered quitting college for a while in the middle of the semester.  But thanks to all the wonderful people I have in my life, all's well, sort of.  My GPA may be hurting but I think I can manage to scrape together what academic dignity I have left on my plate and revive my hopes for medical school.

People tell me I'd be a great doctor.  I believe them.  Maybe a mistake but I'm gonna run with it and keep doing what I can to stay on track.  If all works out, I'll be a pediatrician in about 8 years.  So until then, I'm going to wall myself into a room with some books and learn to be a doctor.  Maybe not.  Probably just study for my Organic final on Friday then take some time off.  God knows I need it.

Till next time, get lots of rest and drink plenty of fluids.
