excercise as a distraction
It's amazing what people do to get out of revision. I've just been for a jog for the first time in about 6 months or more, does that count as a normal distraction?
S205 exam's tomorrow morning, trying to do some last minute cramming before the end of the day. I was more up for it a few weeks ago, until I realised the score from this course might not count towards the final grading of my molecular science degree when I eventually finish it in a few years time. Therefore, with a weakened incentive, I've not knuckled down as much as I otherwise would have. Should be ok though, got decent marks through all the coursework, and I'm fairly confident after doing some past paper work that it won't be too hard to get something half decent like a 2:2 or 2:1.
Went out with work guys in aylesbury the other day, nice to do some more ad-hoc piss ups in between quarterly london trips, speaking of which next one's mid Nov I think.
Is it bad that I'd really rather england lose in the world cup final next weekend? Maybe I'm bitter for Wales losing earlier than expected, if nothing else.
Might join some local martial art dojo place, doing some rare excercise reminded me how I miss doing the small amount of aikido and jiu jitsu I did in Bristol. Maybe. Bit awkward with working shifts, spose it's not that hard to work around shift patterns if I make even the smallest amount of effort. No excuses.
I did manage to get further with the jogging than last time, in spring I think, managed to get past cathall bridge at least! (ie more than one whole mile) before feeling dead, made it to the green area I was heading for over towards forest gate area I think, there were a few other people running laps around the football pitches as well as me. Though that kind of implies that I was running, mostly walking if I tell the truth. Gonna try to go again wed morning, though I have my doubts that I'll get out of bed with enough time to do so before work.
Back to business and revision,
