Busy Day

Well, I've been busy today...I think a list will do.

1. Work - did pH titrations, hardness titrations (EDTA titrant), BOD out.
Finished all of that by 10:30 AM
2. Got off work an hour early because everyone was going to a retirement social thing for the retiring General Manager. So I cut out, and I'll only miss out on like $6.00 from my paycheck, which will be made up for by the overtime hours I did two weekends ago.
3. Researched some quantum mechanics. I finally learned what the hell the Hamiltonian Operator is!
4. Worked out for about an hour. That felt great: leg lifts, bench, biceps, triceps, and took a nice, leisurely half-mile jog.
5. Cleaned the bathroom. *gasp*
6. Learned implicit differentiation for functions of multiple variables - Not as easy as it sounds ;)
7. Listened to the President mispronounce "nuclear" for the 4,576,930,476.5 time (I think he once stopped himself mid-word to change his mind and say "Saddam Hussein.")
8. Did a bit more exercise with the normal nightly stuff - pushups and situps/crunches.

That exercise really makes me feel good. It was an odd combination of lassitude and energy when I finished. Invigoration is not what I expected to feel, especially since it was a fairly light workout (about 50 reps of everything involving weights with moderate weight)

I'm finally sticking to the goal I've had for the last few summers: to get in shape. This is luckily made fairly easy for me, since I have absolutely zero body fat to lose; I can go straight to the muscle-toning phase. I'm getting back that four-pack that I almost once had.

The only thing I didn't accomplish that I kind of wanted to was to get some work done on my songs. I actually started writing something new last night, it's the first time I've actively written (not just revamped old stuff) in a while. I also discovered a couple of verses that I'm hell-bent on using for something. I don't know how they got lost in the mix; I think they're pretty good.

Updates to come - hopefully the next one will involve successes in songwriting.

Tired now. G'night all.
