4th of July -- no celebration for me, just last minute cramming and studying. My only excuse is: you can cram information into your head; you can't cram training and daylight.
Dad asked me, "why aren't you paddling today? It's nice and cloudy." Seriously, I never thought I would live to see the day when daddy told me off for not playing outside due to an immanent exam.
Exam went okay; as expected, I find vocab, listening and reading comprehension quite easy. But I might as well just bring a dice or two for the grammar section.
I sort of stayed up late to study (I had the audiobooks on while I tried to sleep anyway, and I stayed up till 0300) so I was tired when I got home. Decided not to train.
Today (as in the 6th) ... well, there was no excuse. Except my back/ neck really really hurts, probably because I haven't sat still in front of a desk for so long to study.
So I finally dragged myself down to the gym with a book in hand.
Cycled for 2 hrs at Level 4 (random hills) -- according to the machine, that's 68km. Whatever, I stayed where I was the whole time, in front of the picture window, so stupid.
Then I decided to just go through each equipment available in the gym. Turns out there is a proper inclining bench for situps afterall. And there is a set for working the back muscle that simulates pull ups -- so I no longer have to dangle myself precariously off the bars.
Siu Ming said I should still show up in Shatin now and then to work with the program. Ho hum. I wish Fan goh would let me paddle there, it's so criminally stupid to have to bus for 5 hrs just for 3 hrs of paddling.
My bum hurts from the cycling, better get some sleep now. Don't want to miss paddling tomorrow. (It's gonna be a HOT day!)
