Oh my goodness....

In replacement of the fact that I didn't do ANY sort of gym last semester, and barely any walking, I chose to take Kickboxing AND Yoga for the first half of the semester.
Last Wednesday Kickboxing murdered my body. Everyone, including the athletic people, was just about dying by the end.
The next day I REALLY felt it and had to sit on the toilet with caution because my thighs were like "FUUUUUCCCCCKKK youuuuuu!" I went to Yoga the night following kickboxing and thought "Am I supposed to be feeling something right now? Because my thighs don't know they're in this class."
I think I was finally functional again by Saturday.

...But I went back again tonight and I had a blast, despite the fact that I am uncoordinated booby at times. "Cross my-what?" There was just one move I could not get!
The class, similar to self-defense, is closer to an aerobics class with kicking and punching, than it is "LETS FUCKING BOX EACH OTHER, BIATCH!" But it's okay with me, because no one is telling me this shit is supposed to save my life or something. :-D
I really really enjoy a good sweat and yes, my muscles are going to HAAAAATE me but I'll get used to it. I love the relaxed yet alert feeling afterward. Aaaaand I am already regaining some flexibility that I have been lacking. I think that my lack of flexibility stems from my muscles more than anything. I have been studying my anatomy book again and have the primary tension in my legs narrowed down.

As far as Yoga goes it hasn't been too bad. I just suck miserably at Downward Dog. I do NOT have the upper body strength for it. Buuuut the breathing techniques really help and I think I will be putting them into use more often. They are quite calming.

Overall I think it is a good mix for me, even if I am just throwing myself into it. I have the extremely aggressive side of me that loves every punch I throw, and then the calm side that really feels the slow concentration of Yoga. If I had to chose, Kickboxing trumps though. It releases and beats the raw energy and frustration I have coursing through me.

Ahh! I love fitness. I may not be the best at it, but damn it makes me happy...which is good because it is really important for my future health.

The only thing is I have to work on Mondays after kickboxing, so naturally I smell right now.

Other than working out? My semester is pretty much becoming micromanaged as I have a growing anal retentiveness. I was called a Task Master the other day. Heh. Boy, haven't I changed a bit?

I am glad it's my last semester. Everyday I find more reasons to be out of here. I love my professors and my classmates but the college itself has just settled further into bullshit that I can't tolerate anymore.

I am spending a LOT of time in the library. I have 9 hours of internship, and 5 hours of work per week. Then I'm usually here (yes, I'm in the library now) in the mornings and...yeah...I sorta live here, okay?

It feels like I have been at school longer than a week and the time is going quickly.

For now I need to go though. I have to finish an assignment for tomorrow.

Peace.
