sold my soul

To the fitness gods. I got a gym membership. Now I've made a deal to pay 61 euro every month for the next year to work out. I always thought that gyms were really expensive and well they are, but I am beginning to think it's worth it. I haven't actually been to the gym yet, but on to tour I took it looked nice. Lot's of hairdryers and mirrors in the locker rooms and they promised I would always fit into the classes I wanted to go. This was my biggest problem with the university gym, all the best classes were always full a week ahead. Now I can just go whenever, since there are aerobics and other classes including capoeira ahppening all day long. all you have to do is get a ticket like an hour to 20 min in advance and be there. So anytime Jaakko goes out with friends for guys nights out without warning, I have something more constructive to do other than sit at home watching TV.
Today I'm gonna go to a wimpy back exercise class along with a stretch and relax class. Directed relaxing. I'm sure it's the only way to go. :)
Additionally I'm beginning to think I might be a good runner. as long as I don't have to move to do it. And that can be also done at the gym. Just play music and run. And when you're done you can just get off the belt and be right next to the streching place and showers and sauna. Don't have to get up those stairs home and more importantly if you get bored in the middle of a jog you just have to run home. Horrible. ;)
For tomorrow I have to decide on some goals for myself as I am meeting with an istructor to compose an exercise program. Basically I just want to get back in shape and end my back pains. I don't know if that's a specific enough goal. I suppose. And mostly I am just after something to spend my free time doing.
Maybe I'll start writing a fitness blog. That might be interesting.
Gotta get back to work now...

or maybe in a month

So I got some extra time to do my thesis. A month. So should be done at the end of september.
The thing is, we had a meeting with my professor and the other people. I think the actual point of the work has changed like 10 times. Every meeting they come up with something new to measure. And now, something that was just supposed to be a little part seems to be the most interesting part of the work. And its got like nothing to do with what I've written about in the literary part. Plus they're gonna build a fancy model from it and so I have no point in building any simple models for my thesis. The professor, seems, didn't like this so my grade's gonna suffer. No big deal I guess but it just makes me mad. I almost stood up and left the meeting but figured that wouldn't be that mature. I realize no one reading this understands anything I've written here. In short: It was supposed to be emulsions and now it's solubility.
I think I've decided on not doing the doctorate thing. No matter how much I think it would be cool to call myself "Doctor". I just can't stand more meetings like yesterday. I wanna get a job. And maybe later see what else. I'd really like this researcher position in researching new fuels, but I'm not sure they want me. I've applied and everything and went to talk to this lady today, but they are not into making fast decisions.
Now I just have to decide what I want for a graduation present from my parents. :)
Good place to vent. Should have started this a while ago. I hope no one I work with reads this.
