Miss me?

Hello all!

Sorry to leave you out of the loop for so long. I saw one of my fellow bloggers tonight and had a minor "freak-out" when I remembered that I should have written LONG before tonight.

But I digress.

I'm moving in to the final 3 days of J-term this week. To some extent, it feels weird that Luther is able to compress a semester worth of class into one month. However, in looking at all the work I've had to do this semester, I can believe it. I would never go back to my first class of this month, but I'm sure it would be less intense. We've read three books, or parts thereof, and written over 7 papers on them and related material. Luckily for me, I like to write. Maybe not that much, but I like to write. Tonight, I finished a project I was doing for the class on the Apocrypha. Wikipedia it, its pretty interesting stuff.

I didn't follow my resolution for this month: working out every day at Legends, the campus fitness center. I went once, and it was enough to convince me not to go back. Call me lazy, but until my metabolism gives out, I'm going to let it take care of me! I don't know if any of you feel intimidated about going to a gym, but it took a lot of effort to bring myself to go just because of that. Surprisingly though, there are certain hours you can go to the gym and be virtually the only person there. It's nice, especially if you have next to no idea what you're doing. I'm the type of guy that likes to have the facade of knowing everything about everything, but working out was and is definitely out of my area of expertise.

The other thing I found out from my experience was the fact that Luther College offers personal trainers for noobs like me. It's too bad I didn't find that out before I gave up, but I think it's pretty cool that we have the opportunity to work with someone to acclimate us to the idea of working out. Maybe next time.

That's all I've got for now, talk to you soon!
