now would be a good time to change....

but it's a little to late. Ah, as has been the standard, I start off by quoting the current playing song. In this case its some funny country song about a dude getting dumped. Anyhoo, today was kinda uneventful. Woke up early and did my laundry which was way overdue to be done. Other than that I basically wasted time web surfing and blank staring all morning. Then I went to Chem class at 12:20 which was a waste of time. Then, I went to play golf at VT. It was a little cold outside so nobody was at the course. I teed off at 1:25 and finished 18 at about 3:55- 2 hours, 30 minutes!! That is FAST! So, besides being fast, I played the best golf I've ever played in my life. I shot a straight up 76- no cheating, no nothing. I was on FIRE! The sad thing is, I could've easily shot much better than that. I missed 4 birdie putts by 3 inches or less. Also, on hole #16, the wind decided to pick up and was blowing directly at me probably 20mph when I was on the tee. So, I tried to just nut a ball to get it out there and ended up way overswinging and twisting my back something fierce. It hurt real bad! I went on to duff a couple shots and ended up double-bogeying #16. I will never forgive myself for that... :-( Then #17 and #18 I somehow got lucky and parred them. I was basically gimping around the last two holes and my back felt like it was cracked in two. It's funny, I played the best round of my life, but I feel very unfullfilled. All I can think about it how I screwed up so bad on #16. I guess that's just the nature of golf though- you can always do better and there's not much room for satisfaction. The perfectionist in me also tends to promote that. So, then I got to the car at like 3:58, which totally surprised me. I had lost all track of time, and had my ECE class that I really wanted to go to at 4. At first I was like, oh screw it, so I decided not to go. Then, as I drove by campus, I was like, oh heck, I'll be 5 mins late, so I turned into the parking lot. Then, I couldn't find a friggin parking place anywhere!! I got so pissed then just said screw it and left. My back was throbbing anyhow. So, I went home and layed flat on the floor for like an hour trying to stretch it out. It actually helped a lot and now I feel fine after much stretching. But, I feel really bad about the ECE class. That's the first class I missed all year. It sounds nerdy, but I kinda had a goal not to skip any classes and I just blew it. Bah, oh well. I skipped only one last year too, so I guess 2 in 2 years is a pretty good percentage compared to most students. So, then I made dinner and then after that basically did nothing and power napped on and off for a few hours. I REALLY need to get inspired to study for finals because I'm in this huge funk of doing jack nothing right now, and it's really a bad habit. Hopefully I can break the trend tommorow!
