Sore Calves

just back from my first jog after the exams. my fitness is crap.

huge turnout today. lincoln hongwei steven howren and myself. those bums had intended to jog the 199 route FOLLOWED by the 179 route (must be crazy for an after-exam jog). thank goodness howren punctured out halfway during the 199 run, so we all got to stop at the end of that route. lincoln wants to implement a gold-standard ippt regime.he says the extra $400 can cheong 10 times! such incentive. will attempt to follow.

then walked to src to do pull-ups. did 6+2 first time, then lincoln made me do 3+3 the second time, and then finally i managed 1 on my own the third time. not only do my calves ache from the cold examination muscles, now my arms are jelly. haiz. think gotta train more if i'm to get anywhere near that $400. maybe i should just be happy with $200.

campusa countdown: 17 days

michelle emailed again telling me i'll be travelling by train down to granby on the 26th of may. that means i effectively get to spend 1 night in chicago only. shite. looks like i might not be able to meet darrell afterall. reaching on the 25th morning - i have no idea how they're gonna squeeze in orientation. take train on the 26th. reach granby on the 27th. michelle says official camp orientation begins around the 30th, so will have a few days to settle in. she says another nice girl named michelle will pick me up from granby. i sure hope so. hope i won't have much problems being the only asian kid there.

<You're right, however, we are a very culturally homogenous camp. We have some diversity in our camper and staff populations, but not a lot. That's why we're excited to have you here this summer--so we can learn more about different cultures and parts of the world!>

well she's jamaican, so i presume she's black. maybe she'll be more apathetic towards how i feel and perhaps be more understanding? hmm, maybe thats why she so darn friendly! hmm. i think too much.
