Confirmation

Ok ... I've just got an email confirming my participation in the Biathlon. To add, the record time for 800m swim done for the biathlon is 11+ mins.

....

AAARRRRGGGHHH ... *Feels inadequate* But I can do it!! *psychos self* I just did it earlier today again albeit this caucasian swimming beside me made me feel more inadequate! He was more than half a lap faster and he didn't seem like he was exerting himself! Damn ... And he's older than I am ... way older! Damn!

I'm not intending to win. That would seem somewhat rather implausible, not to mention impossible. But I don't intend to come in last either!

I've been having these rather odd mood shifts lately - can't trace the root cause. Might be the stress. Too much to do.
Don't wish to postulate and theorise too much either. Just need to get over this week.

And I've bought two of Sarah McLachlan's albums! Went on a CD spending spree but I'm happy with the buys. I think she's a fantastic artiste. Something 'dark' yet honest about her music that appeals to me. She is one singer songwriter who knows what music is about, what music is meant to do, and how music speaks of the world around us at the same time reaching the depths of our souls.

Ok. Promised to take JJ for dinner and Barney for a beer. I'd best remember and will probably do it next week; after surviving the Biathlon ...

What's next on my calendar!? The Mardi Gras in college ... aaarrrggghhh ... What else? Setting of March Common Test! Aarrrgghghh ... What else? SAT prep! aaarrrrggghhhh ... What else?! RESERVIST! AAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!! AAARRRRGGHHH!
Hhhhmmmm ... And those are anxieties till March! Hhhmmmm ... SYF in May!? Annual Production in May!?

Think it's times like these that I just want to hide with a nice book and Sarah lulling me to calmness.

hhhhmmmmm ... *Breathe* *Breathe*
