Mood:

Okay, it's settled. I'm taking Complex Societies, and I'm excited about it. I got into my history seminar. So my official schedule is thus:
Monday: nothing; work on senior project
Tuesday: Early Complex Societies (2h)
Wednesday: Land, Homelands and American Indian Histories (2h)
Thursday: Archaeologies of Empire (2h)
Friday: nothing; work on senior project
Yes, that's right. 4-day "weekends."
However, I might get a real job this semester, as if I didn't have enough on my plate already. From my initial assessment, the Stanford grad school application is much friendlier than the UCLA one, but the process is still intimidating.
Today I actually utilized the basement gym for the first time since living here, which prompted the following tribute.
Top 10 Reasons Ellipticals are Awesome:
10. They don't hurt your feet, your knees or your lower back.
9. Your iPod doesn't freeze from bouncing up and down.
8. They tell you how many calories you've burned even if it's a total lie.
7. They're indoors. This is a big deal in January.
6. Let's face it, it's just easier than running.
5. You can do your seminar reading while working out!
4. Living in D'port, your room is right upstairs.
And the top three reasons ellipticals are awesome:
3. You won't get hit by a car.
2. You won't get mugged, even if it's midnight.
1. You won't fall down and bleed all over your running socks.
Can you tell who ate concrete while running yesterday? I swear, every semester, new scars on my knees. >_< It's like a tradition or something.
