Tonight was the first time I’ve drank any alcohol besides beer in a while. While sipping Rakia and studying some for my classes, I thought about what I was feeling. At the time I was listening to the band Explosions in the Sky. Let me say that hearing their music while in that state is amazingly enjoyable! Another revelation that came to me was that I need to get back in the gym. When sober, it’s often a lot easier to be dishonest with yourself–at least for me this seems to be the case on some things. My physical state is probably the area where this is the most true. Anyways, I want to start doing something every day, even if it’s only a while on the elliptical. I know I’m busy with school, and often I use this as a reason not to do anything. Tonight was good for me though, as it helped me to see past my own excuses.
