| It is fascinating how your perspective on songs/lyrics change as you change.
(Which is really a way to say: I listened to an old favorite, and the lyrics meant something completely different than I originally thought. Or, rather, were much more poignant.)

| 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.

| FrustrationI 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.
