it is sunday. i just took a bubble bath to relax. i don’t know why i feel tense but i do. i feel like everything is happening so fast all the time, and all i do is just sit and watch it go by. whatever.
today i went to the gym with my family. they all have memberships but me. i agree to go when my mom tells me she will pay the $20 guest pass. i also had nothing else to do. they attend lifetime fitness in canton, which takes a half hour to drive to. we entered and i signed the guest past page. yes, it was a whole page of crap, like all this information in case i like went running around yelling, screaming, peeing in their pool, and breaking every weight machine i could find. i thought the whole process was insane. so i get in, and we head for the locker room where you put your coat, purse, what not. the locker room is huge i notice. bathrooms, showers, changing rooms, towels, and lockers are the normal thing one expects to find in a gym locker room. this one also included a sauna, tanning beds (free, which surprised me), a tv room with couches and lounge chairs, like ten hair dryers at every mirror, and a special container to dry your bathing suit. i was impressed. i almost felt like asking where the food bar was, until my sister pointed me to the vending machines in the far corner. we left the locker room and headed up the second floor. first we used the “black” machines. these were the ones that you walk, climb stairs, bicycle, and run on. i liked the stair machine. there where actual stairs on it, that disappeared at the bottom only to magically re-appear at the top. to the people that actually go a gym regularly, i want you to know that i am not familiar with all the “equipment” out, so if i am describing something that is new to me, like the stairs, and they have been around for say 10 years, ignore me. after the black machines we went over to the “white” machines. these where the muscle building machines. my mom and i went to the ab machine first. then we went around and tried everything. i saw my brothers across the room on another machine that i wanted to try, and i went over to them. the machine was different. it was high off the ground and to get on it you had to step on two steps and grab hold of two bars at the top. it was like a pull-up bar but not, because you place your feet on this bar, and the more weight you have pulling up, the easier it is to pull up your body weight. anyway, austin got off and i got on. i stepped up the stairs, grabbed hold of the bars, and stepped over to the bar. when i stepped on the bar i expected it to drop down, but it didn’t, it was still set to the weight austin had it set on, and i was so light that i didn’t even move it down. it was pretty funny. afterwards we went downstairs and got our swimming suits on. i wanted to swim laps but the pool was crowded. i ended up giving in to becky’s pleas to go down the water slide, which was kinda fun. next we sat in the hot tub, which was scolding hot. now we are done, and we head back into the locker room. little did i know it was “everyone who is big sit around naked day”. seriously, i have never seen so many naked, big, saggy women in my life. it was appalling. i wouldn’t have minded if they at least turned around or something, but they didn’t care, one even went and blow-dryed her hair! i dressed quickly while staring at the ground, and left. outside austin informed me that there was a huge man in his room shaving naked. this confirmed my so-called “day”. this was my day at the gym.
we then ate at fazoli’s, becky’s favorite restuarant. it was very crowded. i got the half of a turkey sub, which was bigger than a footlong at subway. it was good.
i came home and did some homework. it was way too loud in my house to do anything. i need quiet to study and read. monster’s inc. was playing on the big screen, joey was in the basement, which left my bedroom. i went upstairs, sat on my bed, and cracked open my books. before i knew it i was asleep. it was 7:00. i woke up at 8:30 and began to read again.
that was my sunday. very exciting. tomorrow is monday. i dread mondays because i have all 7 of my 8 classes on monday. they are back to back to back to back to back to back… i have no time to eat, which means that i eat during class. physics is a good class to eat in, it is a big class and there is a loud fan thing, i sit in the back with the other “eaters”. my last class last’s forever too. it is only 2 1/2 hours long, but it feels like 8. i did hear that in the weather report it is suppose to be freezing rain tonight, that would be kinda nice i guess, to have off the morning classes. like that’ll happen though.
i am off to do some more reading and fall asleep again, this time for good until morning. sorry this entry is so boring. if you read it all that is. have a good week everyone. goodnight.
