Oh yeah!

Oh yeah! That was what number two was.

OK ... see, there's a class that I'm taking this semester. It's PED300, AKA: Optimal Health.  10-20% of the grade is dependent on your ... health (some people say that all of it is).  So at the beginning of the semester, he weighs you, does a body-fat percentage check, and then has you do a "step-test", where he measures your heart-rate for two minutes of activity, and 1 minute of cool-down.

When I realized this, I stopped doing anything.  See ... over the summer, I actually did miscellaneous exercise, since I had the time.  Also, over the summer, I could ... *gasp* actually eat moderately healthy.   Now, here, that's not exactly the case. It's three meals a day, with questionable health content.  Right. 

Then, I realized that I was attempting to manipulate my body for a grade. Can I stoop any lower?

Misc. Stuff ...

Two random thoughts:

1) I dropped Music History 3 and added LIT208, which is Great Works in a Literary Genre: Short Story.  I don't really feel like dwelling on the reason why I dropped MUH333, which was that I did not want to spend the time and energy on the class (which, in other works, means I felt like it was too much for me, which is admitting a failure ...), but rather want to focus on the positive:  Andrew Hoag teaches the class.   (On a side-note, that was probably the only time I will get a professor to add me to a class via a text-message.)

Today was the first time for me to be in the class. 'twas interesting. 

2) I forget what this one was. Oh well.

Frustration

I know I have posted about this before, but it hit me again today as I was ... attempting to play.

Not practicing the piano--or even a particular song--for a while makes for a frustrating return.  I played a little earlier today, and I decided, instead of my altered routine this summer, that I was going to play through some of the songs from this last semester.  Ouch.  I got through some of them pretty well, but then the others were just ... frustrating.  I /know/ that I am capable of playing that piece, but it slips through the cracks and parts wind up being a train-wreck; I know that I had that song memorized, but it fades slowly from thought; I know that I can do more than what I was doing, but I just could not reach it.

Oh well.  Reviewing should help solve that.

For the past week or so, my computer has had a little bubble pop up that says: "Running low on disc space" ... and telling me that I need to get some space for my C: drive. I knew the importance of having space available on your C: drive, but I couldn't figure out what I could do to open up space, since all I store on C: is programs ...

... then I went to look, and realized that I never deleted wikipedia. All 12.7 GB of it.

So I deleted Wikipedia.

Yay!

Yay! It's back!

And HP did exactly, and only, what I asked them to do.  Amazing.
