a good downpour to wash away the stanley

i intended to finish reading and taking notes for the first 10 sections of jackson today, but i got to the poisson and laplace equation part of it and opted to play FIFA 2004 instead. i had almost forgotten how disgustingly unattractive physics could be sometimes. the goal for tomorrow is to get these 10 sections read and noted, so hopefully my willpower will have gotten back from his extended vacation when i wake up in the morning.

decided not to go to san diego tomorrow because of the rain and wind. i like the rain and i like windy rain even more, but only when i'm inside my room, looking at the people outside getting soaked. my plan in san diego was to hit the downtown, the beach, mount soledad, the cliffs, as well as a few others outdoor spots, and none of them is ever gonna happen with this kind of weather. especially because i'm already sick and classes start on monday. if i'm perfectly healthy and i have three more weeks of break, i wouldn't mind playing in the rain all day and night. rain is so rare here in california that when it does pour, we should all go outside and drink a cup of tea to celebrate it.

i went jogging on tuesday, as a part of one of my few new year's goals. my legs were unbelievably sore the next day, and still is until now. sitting down on the toilet seat when i needed to take a dump was the most painful part. i guess that was expected, considering i haven't exercised since intramural soccer my freshman year in UCSD. i'm not out of shape, but i guess ROUND is not really a desirable shape.

it's 5.30am at the moment, which means i have not succeeded in fixing my sleeping pattern. this quarter i have 8am discussion sections to teach every thursday, so let's hope this whole sleeping thing gets better by thursday.

i picked up a tumbleweed on the way home from tutoring today. there was a police car on standby across the street waiting to pull over people who don't stop at the stop signs, and they cop inside it was looking at me weird. what's the matter, officer? never seen anyone pick up a tumbleweed from the middle of the road and stuff it into the back of his car?

i guess not, huh?
