I did it. We all do it at some point. I took the big step. Started my own little place to blab about this and that. I smell like the pool. I haven't showered since swimming this morning and my skin itches from the chlorine. But it reminds me of being a kid. Swimming after school, going in for dinner, sitting around in my wet bathingsuit until it was dry, showering late at night before going to sleep. I'm not wearing my bathingsuit but I am wearing my highly chlorinated pajamas which I wear to and from the gym.
Today I had one of my paranoid days while I swam. The guy in the lane next to me wasn't a very good swimmer but I felt like he was trying to prove that he could swim faster than me. I wasn't in the mood to swim and having him competing against me didn't make it easier. He only swam for 25 minutes and I swim for an hour. I realize all of the angst I felt could have nothing to do with him but I really felt that the tension was palpable.
I have the day off so I have to continue my uphill battle for applying to grad schools. I have two programs left. I think I'm winding down, hence the idea of creating a blog as opposed to creating a new essay where I give my blood to some institution so they will let me attend their fancy pantsy school.
Wow, I sound really irritable...
I'm not sure if I'm cut out for this Blog Business.
