I finally got a chance to watch some more Evangelion. The way they end the T.V. series (not the movies, which I have yet to watch), is really interesting and neat. They go on and show that even a person who hates himself and everything around him can overcome his hatred and learn to love. But the thing that was intriguing to me about all this, on a psychological level, was a statement right toward the end, talking about how truth is only how we take it. Allow me to explain. It's a sunny day, so you are happy. It is a rainy day, so you are sad. You only think this because of some truth that was given to you before by some other person at some point in time. However, a person can have just as much fun on a rainy day splashing through puddles as on a sunny day lying there in the grass. The truth of a situation is simply how we choose to observe it, and this is something that I respect and admire, even though I've known it all my life - it was just nice to see in cute little pictures right in front of me. Today was a pretty darn good day, but I'm physically exerted once again. I ran 70 pacers in P.E., which was just enough to make me start sweating - I don't exert myself in P.E. because I don't feel that it would be a good idea to wear myself out and then go work even harder at track practice. I do what I need to do in order to get an A in the class and then I'm done for the day. Aside from the 70 pacers, I ran Anderson and Gusti (the roads), for a total of roughly 5 miles. I ran them in 33 minutes, but I walked for 2 minutes to let my heart rate go down, so in reality I was running around 6 minute mile pace, which is very respectable for that distance. After that I ran a single 100 meters with my friend Jon, but to be quite honest my knee was really giving me trouble, so I complained a bit then went and sat down and stretched. I've been having a great time getting in shape, despite how painful it really is physically. Emotionally I'm awesome right now. I think Michaela and my French buddy Cedric are going to go out. Cedric seems to have taken a liking to her, which is pretty cool. I don't mind, but I hope Michaela continues to flirt with me, she's pretty sexy. Jenna messaged me online today. It was kind of cool talking to her again, especially since we haven't talked in awhile. There were a lot of things going through my mind, but I chose to ignore them and just talk to her. She didn't even know I'd been to school in the past few days because I haven't talked to her. Funny how that works. I'm still confused as to what exactly she thinks about when she sees me, but that's her business now, not mine. If she wants to make it my business, she'll just have to tell me. Until then, look out world, because I'm single and working on being as sexy as I can be. My grandmother went into a coma today. It was sad to hear, but I can't say I'm very surprised. Lord bless her soul. I'm going to download "Whip It Good" by whoever it's by. I think it'll complete my set of totally badass songs for the contemporary favorites that I'm collecting. Last night, my mom gave me a pencil sharpener. It was a bit odd that she just randomly gave me a pencil sharpener, but it was really funny and cool at the same time. It's not a great one, but she told me she had it lying around, that it was broken, and that they figured out that it just had dead batteries and it now works again. Joy! Pencil sharpener for me! I've been having fun talking to my Spanish friend Teresa. Looks like we could get to be cool friends while she's still in California, but she's leaving at the end of the year so I don't want to get too close. Hopefully we can still stay in touch with e-mails and talk online or something when she leaves - she told me she liked "El Web y La MSN" - it was pretty funny. I'm going to go do some exercises and workouts real quick, then download that song and go to bed. Got to get my beauty sleep if I'm going to catch Travis Gunn's 5:24 mile. Take care all.
