ouch!
I'm so sore today: went down to the boathouse for circuit training yesterday. But owing to the lack of participants (they're all pansies), instead of a full circuit of 15 different stages that might give our muscles or muscle groups a chance to recover, we did a mini-circuit of heavy weights training. So bench press to burpees to bench pull to weight squat to upright row to push-ups to dead lift. OW. And to top it all off, still nothing to whip my stubborn abs into shape.
I am also incredibly sore because I went down to the music faculty yesterday to pick up the Oxford University contrabassoon which, unlike the nice and neatly coiled ones that we have in the states, is one of the larger less compactly coiled 5+' monstrosities. Which has its own incredibly non-ergonomically-designed tiny little handle which digs into your hands. It took me more than 25 minutes to walk from there back to Keble, a walk that literally does not usually take more than 15. On the way, I got a lot of strange looks from people who have never seen someone walking around with what looks like the carrying case to a grenade launcher. I wonder why.
Singing tonight in the Keble College Music Society recital. Just rehashing some stuff from college: I'm gonna make them sorry that they didn't vote for me to get the music scholarship. Jerks...
Parents coming to visit in less than one week! I'm excited.
