Oh dear! Not a journal update!
Well, still haven't posted anything new here. Classes started back up two weeks ago, though - this semester I'm taking computer science, German, weight training (at least for half the semester), plane trigonometry, "Writing as Critical Thinking", and health.

I believe it's been at least a week now, but recently I felt the urge to write something, so currently I'm working on a short story, to be set in the far-off year of 2050. I also was amused the other day when I remembered back in approximately 2004 when I made up a country for NationStates that was supposed to be set in 2010, and thus equipped with the appropriate (to borrow TV Tropes Wiki phrase) "Twenty Minutes Into the Future" tech, such as the Zumwalt-class destroyer, F-35 Lightning, and other future sciencey military tech that was supposed to be deployed in 2010... or so the Popular Mechanics and Popular Science magazines from, you know, like 1997 were saying. Certainly the proliferation of, among other things, cell phones, smart phones, UAVs, and I'm sure there are other things took me, never mind professionals, by surprise. Of course, who really could have predicted this Great Recession that we've been in for like three years now, and the consequences of same?

Rambling aside, I really have been slightly bad about procrastinating and not getting to class on time this semester, which needs to change ASAP.
On another vaguely related note, it snowed all day today, and the wind has also been blowing all day today. Thankfully I only have two classes tomorrow!

Today in "Weight Training" was our first day of real class, since the three class periods we've had before today were all very brief and did not feature actual weight training at all. Instead, today we actually trained with weights and I was feeling... more than adequately trained, I think, given that that was more weight training than I've done in a long time. Carrying boxes and stuff down to my car, and up four stories into my dorm room, is one thing; bench pressing like 60 pounds is another. (Also see: squatting "like 60 pounds", dumbbell lifts, and crunches, which I have never really done except as part of organized physical activities, such as karate class or PE in Elementary).
After hearing about some physical activity that went down last Saturday partially related to the single club that I am involved with here on campus, I'm contemplating visiting the Rec at least occasionally now, which would mark the first time I've been there since I've come here - the two times I've been before were for Orientation and maybe on a campus tour, neither of which would really count as a visit to the Rec, in my estimation.
I'm also contemplating another healthy choice - granted, it's not like I eat a slice of pizza at every meal (or at least lunch and dinner, when it's available) anyway, but I'm considering maybe limiting myself to one slice of pizza a week, barring social events. There are some meals where I just get pizza because it's the most convenient (has the shortest line, represents the most tasteful option, whatever you want to call it), but those are (thankfully) relatively rare.

So I guess I'll get back to reading webcomics (currently reading: Dresden Codak), gradually closing tabs, and maybe eventually get around to homework. I also need to figure out a plot for this short story, given that all I have figured out at the moment is some of the background... I do seem to have done more world-building than writing recently, in any case.
