Call it a productive day

Today, I guess, was a rather productive day.

I attended two lectures in the afternoon and in the evening, an intense taekwondo sparring workout. Even one of the masters said that it was the hardest workout they've done in a while.

The workout even got me down on the ground, taking breathers while my shirt was drenched in sweat.

Impressed by my hard work, the master told me to lead the cheer in the end. And I did. I was proud.


After the workout, my friend-- who also took the beginner's class-- and I went to the campus dining center to get some grub. At the time I couldn't even eat. Mind was swirling around as I stared into space. I was downright exhausted.

"You okay?" he asked, half-jokingly.
Yeah, I was, I said laughing. But real tired.

Thus I took the pizza to-go while he even couldn't finish the rest of his. Forgetting to bring a shirt, he remained in his sweaty cotton t-shirt that he wore during the workout. He was od sweating bullets. For me I made the right choice by bringing an extra shirt.

The only thing I could do while he was munching on his pizza was gulp down a fountain drink of Powerade and take breathers. Yeah the workout was THAT intense. Minutes after I'd take small bites of my apple.


It was a long bus ride back. It was crowded as well. Had to stand. Grasping the to-go pizza on one hand, all I could do at that time, alone, was to stare at the dark passing scenery of this little suburban town.

Got back an hour before midnight, roommate was playing games on his computer. I immediately took a shower.

Then I washed my drenched workout shirt. While washing it in the sink, I met my next door roommate, from Boston, for the first time. First thing we basically talked about was whether or not we watched baseball.

And yep, he was such a huge Red Sox fan that he worked at Fenway.

But we became friends, despite the rivalry in baseball.

Then I jumped on my bed and got some shuteye. A 9am class awaits...
