Warmth and Soul-Baring

Wow...I haven't updated in a while.

Part of the reason for the delay was my laptop. My operating system conked out on me the day I got back to Furman, and so I had to take it to my Dad's company to get it re-installed. I've missed it especially during my classes because I've gotten so accustomed to typing out my notes. And since I know you're thinking otherwise, I'm not surfing the net during the lectures. Promise. But anyway, I'm up and running with the laptop again, and along with that good news, I can finally access the internet in my dorm room! No more running around, lugging my laptop everywhere to building after building. Well, provided my hall stays tranquil, anyway.

Okay, here's the weird part of today. At around 9:30 this morning, five minutes into Computer Science 16, my stomach starts hurting. It wasn't one specific spot; just a general pain all over. I didn't feel nauseated like I was going to throw up or anything; it just hurt. Came out of nowhere. I had to excuse myself to go and sit in the rest room for like 15 minutes. That didn't really help, so I endured it for the remainder of class. But once I got back to my room, the pain ceased and went away completely. I swear, my body is one gigantic freak of nature. I will never know what it's going to do or how it's going to feel from one moment to the next. Sigh.

Today was a warm day. For January, that is. I think the high temperature peaked at around 73 degrees or so. It was a perfect afternoon to go outside and sit on one of the benches overlooking Furman Lake and the Belltower while I read textbooks. It was also a great day to exercise outdoors. I have done so much cardio these past few days that my legs feel like triple-weighted knots. So I ended up focusing more on resistance training for today.

Leadership Team meeting was just excellent. I love being able to open up and to be free around such awesome friends. We talked a lot about how we envision BCM by the end of spring term, and what we should do in order to make that vision a reality. Lots of great ideas were shared.
