happy new year, friends!

got goals?

there's my problem. i didn't review the most important equation.

in other news...

each male member of the gefilte fish has grown about 3 inches, taken off 3 seconds per hundred, and i'm getting about 3 chirps a practice from little girls who still like to boss me around.

if the past two days of 'pre-camp' are any indication of what 'camp' is gonna be like, i should be rolling gooood by new years. either that, or lying in bed refusing to leave the house. now it's off to the gym for a tready session to earn myself some "christmas baking": the frosted sugar cookies i pick up every year at loblaws. which reminds me, i have to send kirsten my home address in hopes of some real holiday baking! i hear her stuff's legit.

"for a bit of a boost"

i'm putting one of these on the kharma.

home for the holidays

exams done. done well? no.

i need to tweak some things next semester. i'm sick of this post exam disappointment.

not gonna lie, just finished up chem and the first thing i did after was figure out the lowest mark i could get on the final to still pass the course. i needed a 9. the average monkey gets 15% on multiple choice exams, based on random dispersal of shaded circles. i must be smarter than a guessing monkey.

great mindset for a scholar.

now its laundry, cleaning up, packing up, some pillow time, morning swim, then back home to ottawa on the mid-morning train. training was hampered this week with the exams, but now i have four weeks sans school to really hit it. can't wait to see where the gefilte fish are at. hope i can still keep up.

by the numbers

yesterday i consumed 1940 calories in doritos and chocolate milk alone.

i owe tyler $70 for long distance calls i made on his phone during the summer. i thought that was the point of the calling card i was using... to cover those costs.

i got 80 minutes of sleep on thursday night and then woke up and went to practice. most fun i've had swimming this year.

swam 8x100 band on 1:40 on sunday. felt like such a man after. give me more man band.
