Summer 2009: Month One
So not quite a month yet, but close enough that it might as well be and long enough between blogs for it to be relevant to my life.
So I’ve been hanging out a lot since summer started. I think the amount of time I’ve spent outside the house equals the amount of time I spent outside the house last summer. I’m almost not kidding about that. The downside is that I’ve been spending a buttload of money. Like a sh*t-ton. No joke. But in the end, I think it worth it. Right now, my parents are home with my brother is gone to Japan, a complete switch from last time. Still the same though.
So a progress report on my first college summer. Summer school’s really boring, but so worth it after I found out Marcus, Jenny, and Roan are all in that class. In actuality, I don’t spend much time taking notes, though I do take notes. Most of the time is spent drawing. A Lot. A crazy amount actually. But all in all, some good clean fun.
After class is track workouts which is amazing. It feels incredible to be working out again, especially after eight months of no real physical work. Getting in shape feels so incredibly good. And after that is usually where most of my money gets pulled. Hanging out with Lowell Track. And it’s been loads of fun. I got a chance to talk to a lot of people that I never even noticed on the team while on the team. Examples: the Gaos, Steph Hyunh, Carol, Nelson, the list could go on. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Except maybe my first anime con. Which I should be packing for right now. Cosplay is a possibility but not a certainty. No doubt you’ll see pictures of me somewhere online from it before this time next week. I’m spending a huge amount of money for it, so I’m hoping it’s worth it.
But before I could go, I was brought along with my parents to see their new condominium downtown by Civic Center. I gotta say, I wish I lived there now. I loved the space. My first impression was between a really swanky hotel and my grandparents’ place in Korea. And if you know me, that is singing high praises. I am a fan of small places so this spot was amazing. Honestly, before I saw it I wasn’t too thrilled but now, I’m genuinely happy that they now own that particular apartment space.
Oh I’m taking part in meets again! Well Los Gatos All-Comer Meet, but still it’s the first couple meets I’ve been a part of during college. And my marks aren’t great ones. As of right now, my marks for this summer are:
- 100m – 12.28 sec
- 60m – 7.72 sec
- LJ – 18′2″
- TJ – 35′9″
And my current PRs as far as I can dig up are:
- 100m – 12.09 sec
- 150m – 18.4 sec
- 400m – 60.0 sec
- LJ – 18′8.5″
- TJ – 39′5″
I love summer. In particular, this summer.
