This is all about me. That's right. ME.

"Happy people are all the same. Unhappy people are unhappy for different reasons."

Nice little quote. What does this have to relate to the day?

Sadness, because of things I've lost, but hopefully I can change that.
Happiness, because who doesn't like receiving a broken toy, and given the suggestion to make a flywheel out of it? For the record, I'm going to try. Someday.
Slight bitterness, because I realise that I no longer have much time for games. Which is good, and bad, but good all round, and hence why it's slight. It's not because "There's going to be a maaaaassive workload", it's because "There are more urgent things requiring attention, similar to "Our allies' town is under attack!"" Not that any of that was relevant.

Ok, well. What else. Swimming lessons.
1. I'm already hating it, and it's the first week.
2. I'm such a wuss for hating it.
3. Sport sucks.
4. Swimming sucks
4a. Because you're always out of breath
4b. There's water everywhere
4c. You can't drink any of it
4d. It destroys membranes. But that's with large concentrations. In pool-level concentrations, it hurts
5. I'm still, such a wuss.
6. I'm going to like it. Eventually.
7. It's tiring
8. It's probably going to be rewarding. Eventually.
9. Getting praise when you KNOW you don't deserve it, sucks. But it's nice to hear the words, even if they're fake/false.

It's like, a social trap in reverse (A social trap being, over-fishing, where the short term goal of catching billions of fish, depletes the oceans of fish, meaning that there isn't going to be any left, eventually. Keyword of the day: Eventually.)

So, yea I'm not about to back out now. It'll grow on me. Eventually.

Also, yes, no time for much else, including my favourite hobbies. Maybe if I speed up my learning process by doing ALL available work, and then ordering one extra Phys textbook, cause he said so, I might have some time for that. I suspect that time will come sometime around...June. If I'm lucky. So, yes, delayed, by a lot.

Hoping, well. That I do like swimming, eventually.

Swimming lessons suck. I cried before every lesson when I was four. It's one of my few memories from that age.

Well, I think it takes a while. Acquired taste?

Real improvement comes from the self in the case of swimming. Unless you're in squad, you won't improve much (I used to swim a lot / lessons for 6 years)

I think just doing lots of laps (20+/session) correctly is sufficient
