The Blog Is Back
May 10th, 2008 at 12:08 am (The Real World)
If you’ve been reading my blog regularly for the past two weeks or so, I’m sure you’ve noticed there has been nothing to read (for two weeks or so). After my vacation, it was quite necessary that I take a vacation from writing: on each of the 21 days of our cruise, I spent hours recording what we had spent hours doing, and while sore feet were one small side-effect of the endless fun we had, sore fingers were one big side-effect of the endless blogging I performed. (Not really, but I know you know what I mean.)
Enough of this folly. You see what happens when I don’t write for a while? “Creative” things. To write is to vent one’s thoughts, which is to expel one’s madness. I just expelled two weeks’ worth.
Life after the cruise took some getting used to. Not only is the ground violently still, but we have to do everything for ourselves: cooking (well, I guess I don’t have to do that), laundry (OK, so I don’t have to do that either), room cleaning (hey, just because I don’t - ! )… But besides all this, The Homework is back. Fortunately I still remembered how to speak Latin, but as for the other subjects… well, I couldn’t even remember how Zygotes are produced differently from members of Basidiomycota and other fungi!
But besides all that, it was tough getting back to swim practice. My first day back was an OhNoDoubleTroubleTwoPracticesInOneDay day (ONDTTPIODD for short), and I found it challenging just to swim a 300 straight.
However, after two weeks of fighting to survive each practice (which builds character!), I’m almost back to normal now. From this we can deduce the most probable result of my recent productivity throughput which predicts that you will soon be reading more of my Wonderful blog posts — if this one hasn’t driven you away completely.
