My body is just this side of fatigued, in that place where you have to rest up to get the energy to walk down the hall to the bathroom or to climb up to the top bunk. It's a good feeling though, knowing that I did this to myself under controlled circumstances and not out of necessity. I'm getting closer and closer to swimming a mile - I made 60 laps today, with only brief stops. One thing I definitely need to improve is flip turns.....and when I say "improve", I mean "learn how to do". I can, but I can never seem to put it into practice. Fear of bashing my head against the wall keeps me in my stop, turn around, push off routine.

I found out tonight that a friend from middle/high school will not only be coming here, but also living in my building next semester. That makes two, hopefully.

For the past week or so, it seems that people in my life have been having serious relationship problems. No, not seems to - have been. It's a little selfish to sit here and whine about how others' problems have affected me, but it is my blog after all......it's discouraging. So many people around my age are involved in these intense, loving relationships, and so many are having horrible problems with theirs. Not too many healthy singles out there. It makes me glad to not be seriously involved with anyone, and then I feel like I'm missing out. My philosophy as far as that goes has been to just go with the flow.....being a whiny 'I want a booooooyfrrrriend' airhead is just asking for trouble. Right now, I suppose I should take my own advice and go with the flow.

I haven't done any real work since probably last Monday or Tuesday. This'll be an interesting week.
