Another Life Update

Nothing exciting in the last week ...

Swimming is going okay. Actually, it’s almost refreshing. I'm never ready to get up when I get up, but hopping into that cold, (very, very cold) pool is somewhat nice. It's the dips and the sit-ups and the pushups and the laps and the more laps and the more laps that make that class difficult.

In other news, the swim trunks are really, really short. I think they are maybe 2 inches longer than my XC uniform shorts (Really good quote at the bottom pertaining to this subject). Coach Black says its so no one steals them. It seems like a good enough deterrent – who the hell would steal swim trunks no one would ever be caught dead wearing.

In other news, Sam came over the other day to let me borrow his some of his math books. USAMO stands less than two weeks away: I have a bunch of reading to do.

In other news, the Cubs suck. How the hell do you lose 2 to the Dbacks? Stupid Stupid, Stupid...

In other news, I went running with my dad last night. I felt a lot better than on Monday/Tuesday. Obviously, I still have a lot of catching up to do because of my four-month break. But I am getting somewhat back into the groove.

In other news, I called Bank One today to see about a summer job. I talked to the manager on Saturday, and he talked to his recruiter on Tuesday, and I was supposed to call him back Thursday.

In other news, every paragraph of this entry has started with the words "in other news."

In other news, I want to know your take on an argument I was having. Let's assume that the future can be known for certain. Do we have choice? (Note: I am asking whether or not the future can be known for certain. I am not asking if we have choice. It is an if-then question.)
