just can't do it...

i can not get my life to take on a pattern and a routine... every time i try- like quitting my two jobs that took all my time and getting a new, more flexible one- something else comes up! anyone got any suggestions? i realize this is a weird question...

today...

since 7 AM i have walked the two miles to campus, driven to baltimore with the crew team, helped rig two boats, rowed about ten miles, derigged a boat, driven back to philly, helped rig and carry four boats, and gotten back to my apartment.... with ten monster blisters... and now i am going to college day on the parkway... ugh...

rowing....

so i decided i wanted to do something new this year- last semester i had way too much time on my hands and i got bored a lot... i was thinking about cap and bells, our school theater society, when i saw a poster for rowing.... which sounded cool, so i am going out for rowing- which is a lot harder to do properly than it looks... i should feel the erg in my legs, but i feel it in my back... i should be steady on the machine but i am constantly in danger of throwing myself off the end... you'd think rafting and kayaking would prepare me more for this, but its way hard... tomorrow i get on the water for the first time and hopefully i will be able to coordinate the whole thing better... but its way fun! even if i am the oldest novice...
