Work

My current hobby is having my away message say "Doing work" so people think I'm studying when in reality I am getting my lift on. 

Literally all I want to do now is go to the gym or play Ultimate. As excited as I am for Indoor, I'm upset I won't be able to go to the gym tomorrow because of it.  I can't even hit up Owen's conditioning tomorrow because I gotta get to the ATM with Rob to pay both him (he's my bookie obv.) and Ben for the ten thousand jerseys I'm buying. 

Regardless, as Treebeard (OLD NICKNAME ALERT) has mentioned, I am having no problem going to the gym. I have planned on not going today for about a week now and the only convincing I needed was Ben asking if I wanted to go today. I'm even thinking about pulling a double-session on Thursday because I won't be able to hit the gym until Monday really after then. 

I'm worried about people's motivation and time going to the wrong places. The six people we get for lifting I'm alright with, but theres a good chunk that swim for one and play hockey for the other at best. Snertz on Friday/Sunday is useless because the people who don't need it (people doing real work) are going to be the only ones willing to go, and the rest of the people will just not go because honestly, who likes doing Snertz. We're better off doing Mini so both parties will show and everyone gets some conditioning and everyone gets to play some disc. Personally I was just as beat after Mini as I was after the track workout on Thursday. The nothing being scheduled on Wednesday still baffles me. 

Normally I'm all for warmup drills, but when we only have an hour I'm really not feeling it. Come early because the gym is open to throw. Then run/stretch/Snertz dynamic warmup (because that's pro) and play. Getting only 25 minutes to play is a bit upsetting especially considering that we're going to get better numbers as the semester goes on and that just not a lot of playing time. 

This isn't to say that if we get a larger chunk of time or we move outdoor that drills aren't needed, but mini is really good at getting people back into the flow of valuing the disc and basic marking/throwing things. Warmup drills in particular don't have much value besides flow and that is really hard to establish in mini, especially since if you do actually get something going you're probably just gonna win really quick. 

The wrap from Oscars tonight was prime. Hot sauce really added something to it. I'm scared I'm going to run out of Dining Dollars by midterm week. I will be a sad panda. I'll be down to 7 wraps worth of money after Indoor tomorrow. I really need to invest in bread + stuff.
