ups and downs

[godream]

I'm taking aikido classes for phys ed this quarter. They meet across campus on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and it's interesting and mildly frustrating: I always leave with that totally-awake exercised feeling, not to mention the additional bonus "i'm-learning-to-kick-your-ass" bit, though with aikido it's more of a "i'm-learning-how-to-prevent-you-from-kicking-my-ass", but by the time I'm back at the dorm and up the four flights of stairs the thought has turned almost entirely to how much I'm going to ache for the next day or two. It's a cool feeling while it lasts though.

Also, hacks make me smile.
