Kras - get some foam earplugs - a bit uncomfortable til u get used to them but they do cut out a lot of disturbing noise.
Just tell her to not chew on the spoon…and to not eat the old hard pretzels on purpose just so it is extra loud…
ive thought of earplugs but i do need to be able to hear my alarm… we’ll see how it goes. i might get used to it, or the ZMA might help me!
homecoming is… ridiculous. was out misbehaving and drinking last night (i have decided to cut down on beer drinking though because i think it makes me fat) came home at 10am this morning to find my entry starting to drink again. so it shall continue all day, it seems… living it up college-style as austin suggested 
so I know I have been talking about not drinking lately, but of course it being homecoming weekend… I was drinking friday night and saturday morning in modest amounts, then decided I wanted to forget my life and the real world last night and got pretty smashed. True to my word I avoided beer, and woke up this morning perfectly happy with no hangover, despite the 8 shots in 15 minutes last night.
went to my coach’s house to rake leaves today so I can go on spring break- don’t let ANYONE tell you that raking leaves for 3 hours isn’t a workout, because it DEFINITELY is!
official practices start a week from today… I am so excited to do 6x600.
fucking depressed
sore throat
time to sulk in bed, then go lift… no running for me today
feel like i might be getting sick… AGAIN.
dragged myself to class, took a 2 hour nap, then lifts- same lower as last week:
-squats to ground @45k, 46k, 46k, paired with
-lunges @27.5 lbs each side, tripled with
-squats to ground @45k, 46k, 46k
-eccen, ham raises, paired with
-romanian deadlifts @46k, 46k, 46k, tripled with
-eccen ham raises
-garhammer raise (lower abs) 10, 8, 8
Modeled for 2.5 hours, now i’m back here listening to my roommate whistling and chewing gum… jesus. i am exhausted. STOP WHISTLING. :eek:
Can’t you just kick her ass kras? 
Sounds like you’re strong enough. … as long as you don’t lose weight and strength with those erratic eating habits :mad:
I don’t get why everyone’s so afraid to communicate with their roommate, I see that all the time here and then eventually they just explodes out of seeemingly nowhere. I had a long day, please stop whistling that’s all it takes.
feel like death.
woke up this morning and couldn’t talk, my throat feels like i am getting strepe… not good.
I slept all day, got up to have lunch, came back and got into bed and took my heart rate after i had been lying down for a while: 90 bpm. Slept for two hours, woke up and took it again without stirring from my bed: 101 bpm.
Obviously I didn’t go running (it’s supposed to be an easy week so i am not missing much) but I can’t decide if lifting is a good idea. I’m supposed to model for two hours afterwards, I might pass out. i really want to skip both and just stay in bed- my head is exploding.
I suspect this is stemming from mental worry or stress, because even though I don’t really have anything big to be stressing over right now I had some form of panic attack last night. I didn’t know what it was from which made it scarier.
my roommate actually stayed out of the room for a lot of the day to let me sleep which was one good thing.
I think you need to eat more. (Both more often and more volume)
With your activity level and a caloric intake of less than 1500 a day you must be beating the hell out of your immune system. That with partying, booze etc and you are doing yourself in…
I have been eating a lot more than i was over the summer… enough to gain a few pounds even! I have actually been trying to reduce slightly without going over the edge into the eating disorder again.
but the point is taken- my own perception of what i am eating is probably not really reliable anyway. Normally I get sick VERY rarely, but this fall I was sick for 3 straight weeks, and now I seem to be sick AGAIN. Even my FH coach commented that I seemed to be having a really hard time with illness.
The reduced sleep, the stress, the drinking… all related i guess.
didn’t run and didn’t lift- left my bed only 3 times today: for lunch, for dinner, and to go model for 2 hours.
With your workload you really should be eating 5-6 times a day not twice.
Smaller frequent meals, good protein supplement if necessary and all healthy foods.
The machine only burns what you feed it 
I bet if you adjusted your diet you would PB in every event with the right training!
Cheers,
Chris
thanks chris… it is really nice of you to always be patient with your advice even when I insist on doing stupid things. :o
figured that since sleeping all day didn’t seem to help, maybe it would be good for me to go outside in the cold and get moving a bit… i feel like such a slug when I just sit around in my room for days.
-went on a 30-35 minute run, fairly easy pace, included some hills. felt nice to get moving even though it probably won’t do much to make me better.
was supposed to make up the lift that i missed yesterday, but the lifting coach told me to take the day off and get ready for tommorow’s leg lift.
all that’s left is tutoring, meeting with a prof, then NAP and tackling the huge mountain of work I need to get through… ironically by sleeping all day to try to get better, I had a near-sleepless night last night and will get no sleep for the next two nights desperately trying to get everything done.
i love collegeeeeeeeeeee
p.s. my french prof sucks big ones and told me i need to get excused by the DEAN for missing class because of my health. the dean?! what the fuck is his problem!! every other prof has understood, since I am always caught up on work when I come back.
I HATE HIMMMMMMMM
He suggested (rudely) that if illness is “such a big problem” that i should have considered withdrawing for the semester… missing 3 classes since september is not THAT bad!!! I desperately want to drop but that would mean taking a class over the summer (NO) or taking a 5th class… I already don’t have enough time for 4. WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SO GODDAMN DIFFICULT.
the run made me feel a bit better, but its just as well I didn’t lift.
going back to bed.
:mad: 
Tell that ass jockey, to stop being a dick…I was under the impression they didnt take attendance in college anyways?
ah hahaha
This prof is totally out of line- for ONCE in my 18 years i am definitely not in the wrong here. He told me that my participation in class is not satisfactory- fine… I concede that. HOWEVER, he also suggested indirectly that I have been lying about being sick and told me that he would only accept evidence from the dean’s office that I have had health related issues, and then told me that if my health was really “such a big issue” I should have withdrawn from school for the semester!!
I could go on about this… namely that there are 3 people in my class of about 12 who dominate the class, and I am NOT the only one who doesn’t talk… plus I got a B+ on my midterm and I have always been prompt and polite in correcting my work and coming to see him, and he has been hostile each time.
p.s. I HATE HIMMMMMMMMMMMM
He should not have messed around… there is a reason I am headed to law school! Not to mention I have dropped any intention I had of possibly majoring in french, and in fact will never take a french class here again. I am close enough to fluent anyway, he can fuck off.
On another more relevant note, I am a little concerned that I got sick AGAIN. I was already tested for practically everything, including strepe, mono, anemia, thyroid dysfunction and even HIV… everything! Some kind of recurring virus? Stress? I don’t know. I don’t think I get enough fruit or enough sleep and I need training to start for real.
no problem I think with the right diet things will really fall into place both training and health related. With the new environment and all that new stress you need to take care of yourself diet and rest wise even more.
Cheers,
Chris
got a lot done today and took care of a bunch of things which should help with stress… so hopefully I won’t have to keep wearing long sleeves exclusively. 
dealt somewhat with french, am going to the dean tommorow with “evidence”, and I covered myself as far as my track coach is concerned (he is very into grades.) I must be turning a new leaf… if I drop this french class, which is almost certain, that will make TWO things I have “quit” to take care of my own best interest- I will have to celebrate!
also went to the doctor to get looked over and get blood drawn AGAIN for the few remaining lab tests I have not had done yet, plus re-doing my blood count. Everything that has come back so far (mono, strepe, HIV, etc etc etc) has been negative, and thyroid and iron and whatnot are in normal range. As far as my messed up period, I have not gone over the hormonal profiles with them yet so i don’t know. The doctor seemed to be really against me being on the pill unless there is some hormonal imbalance, because he thinks it could be causing my headaches and making my skin bad. If I gain weight on it… that would be the deciding factor and I would stop.
Also spoke with a counselor-type who I trusted less because he had a dead fish handshake, but we talked about stress reduction and I know I can go to him if I need to. There are others I would go to first, but options are always a good thing. I’m going to visit my best friend from home for fri and sat which will bring some peace of mind.
anyways, I don’t feel quite better yet but I lifted anyway:
-front squats to ground: jump to 50k, 50k, 51k
-lunges x10 @30k for all 3 sets
-squats 50, 50, 51
-eccen hams
-deads @50k, 51k, 51k
-eccen hams
-garhammer abs 10, 8, 8
-ab circuit
turned a new leaf!
went and talked to the dean, armed with all kinds of evidence, and I am dropping the class without any negative consequences to my transcript. he couldn’t believe that the prof had been such an asshole, and will probably pursue some kind of reprimand. YES.
sooo this will help with my stress level, and maybe now i can sleep more and i’ll be able to do well in finals for the remaining classes. I will only have one class per day for four days of the week and two on fridays, which will be a nice break.
still waiting on more results from the health center.
still felt sick today, throat still sore… may or may not lift today. With official track starting on sunday, it might make more sense just to get in the last rest that I can and be ready to go 100%.
See it allll worked out
