It's Like Riding a Bike
I appear to be back on-line. Earlier today saw me dealing with tech support and doing some nonsense as downloading Spyware protection, dealing with phone line filters, and cycling modems. I guess that is all pretty basic stuff to some of you techy types, but it’s still a learning curve on my end. Don’t be fooled by the blog-Alison takes care of almost everything except the actual typing!
I went swimming for 30 minutes today. Since I have only been swimming every week and a half or so I feel really strong when I go b/c I am so well rested. I did mostly crawl, ½ with the pull buoy and half regular. I also did a couple of laps of backstroke just to shake things up. It felt pretty good to stretch out and swim. I also had a blast from my past. The pool is at the local high school and someone on the boys’ soccer team missed the goal by a lot and the ball came rocketing over to me in the air as I walked by. Dormant reflexes took over and I did a trap to take it out of the air. I loved just being NEAR the soccer ball. The incident did nothing to ease my craving for the sport. There is actually a free league at my school this semester that I can’t play in b/c I have class that night. I seriously considered asking for an exemption from the required class b/c I don’t think I have much to gain from it given my specific career goals. I finally thought of something I would gain from attending the class-and I also decided it was worth going simply to avoid being known as the girl who asked to change graduation requirements to play in a rec soccer league.
I just got home from pizza and movie night with some college friends. They finally did something I was interested in…more specifically, we hung out and didn’t go bar hopping :) As we sat there checking facts about the movie on-line to see where the producers screwed up, we decided we probably weren’t exactly bar worthy anyway.
