The Immaculate Concept II

Quote of the moment:
Outings off: river's flooded. Will get you out on the water ASAP chaps! - Pest.

It would have been a good idea to take my phone with me when I went to the boathouse. It would have been a great idea to check it before leaving.

I was in a rush, however, so I didn't do either (although he did say yesterday there'd be stuff to do in the gym if the river was flooded). Instead I arrived about 3 minutes late to find no-one there but the door to the "gym" (room with rowing machines + some weights and a couple of other cardio machines) was open. I stayed and did half an hour on the rowing machine, partly in case the others returned from a run, partly because I was there anyway so I might as well and partly because I'm a cheap-arse and it costs nothing, unlike the gym. I soared to 75 minutes of ergo time inside 48 hours when we're supposed to do an hour a week.

I am now shattered. Paddy tried to drag me out for the night, saying something about "haven't seen you since last term". Would have been nice, but I opted for lying on my bed. I'm amazed I've only started dozing off in the last hour (which was spent looking at rowing machines on the internet). Mmmm... obsession. If I had the choice (or a spare £939) I'd have the Concept II Model D:

Must... pull... socks... higher...
