Bobbing Along on the Bottom of the Beautiful Briny Sea I've been swimming every day during my lunch hour. Today was not so good. The pool is only open to the general student population for an hour a day this week, so it was busy. On top of that, the chemicals in the pool were not correct, so it was turbid and left a funny taste in my mouth. There was an old guy in the lane next to mine that wasn't the best swimmer. His breaststroke was so wide that his hand would come into my lane. At one point, if I would have maintained my speed, I think he would have ended up grabbing my breast. Ugh. I swam my minimum 1500 m in 30 minutes, and laid out while my friend finished up. I love the sun on my wet body. I'm getting stronger and stronger, and it's great. Those 1500 m today were nothing. Yes, I was tired, yes I pushed myself, but I didn't even feel like I was working until 1200 m! Yeah baby. I really need to figure out what to dissolve my alizarin and polythiophene in. Bah. I'm not enjoying it. Then I need to make films. Apparently there is a higher risk of oxidation than I had thought, which just makes the handling that much more of a pain in the ass. My in-laws are paying for my family to go to Cozumel for two weeks at Christmas. We're staying in their timeshare. I can't wait! |
