Incoherent Rantings

I haven't posted in who knows how long, and am only doing so now because of a number of factors too boring to go into. Suffice to say I can't think of anything better to do with my time -- though I'm sure there are many things. As a rough guess, since my last post I have gotten through my second year of law school, seen my first musical ever, taken up running even though it still hurts my knees, started my summer internship, gotten into the exchange program through UCLA Law to study in Japan for next semester, and just today helped my parents buy a new plasma TV and get it set up in their room. Now I want a new TV.

But before a TV, I need money. And if I had money, I'd probably spend it on travel rather than a TV. But really, any kind of income would be nice right now. My credit card bill that covered the period of time after finals was a bit scary. I guess I went a little overboard with the relaxation. The bill did include the costs of gas and a smog check for my car, but it certainly doesn't account for everything. Eating out really adds up.

In that sense, it is nice to be back home -- I don't ever have to eat out, and I don't have to cook. This comes along with other chores, but in the end, I suppose they are a small price to pay. Besides, mowing the lawn is exercise. Right?

There is a part of the Los Gatos Creek Trail that runs through a park near my house, and I used to ride around it on my bicycle. I no longer have a bicycle, and I remember it being short, so I decided a few days ago to try and run it. I thought it was around 2 or 3 miles. I found out later it was more like 4 or 5, but who's counting. No wonder I was so tired at the end. But I think it was a good run, and I'll have to do it again soon to stave off the approach of the belly fat. Just another sign of age...
