I woke up feeling pretty groggy, but ok. Stayed groggy for about an hour or so, then I think I was actually in the same plane of existence as the rest of humanity. The start of the day was a bunch of emails and figuring out what I needed to do.

Today involved working on getting my head around my assignments, downloading code and so on for that. This ultimately ended very badly. My machine crashed due to some other media error that I was moving around at the same time, I lost a few things that were open and not saved (more fool me, I guess), I lost a track of which documents and webpages I had open, that kind of thing. To top it off I was already having trouble getting anything to work at all.

After I had rebooted and run a disk check I wrote a small list of things I needed to work out from prior to the crash, set up a few things to run, then went off to the IMA to run around with a basketball for a while. That was a lot of fun actually. I actually managed to get into the rhythm for my shooting and was shooting better than I had done in years. Since I haven’t really been playing for years that’s a bit of a redundant statement I guess, but even so it was nice to feel my ball skills coming back a little. No scrimmaging tonight, there weren’t really a lot of people around. I did see a couple of girls on the next court over doing some one-on-one… with their left arms tucked inside their shirts behind them. Since I’ve done the drill with your arm behind you (so you learn to shoot with one hand, not rely on your left to shield the ball, that kind of thing) it was funny to take a step back and go “Wow, it does look kind of silly, huh.”

After that I went back to my office and packed up my stuff. I headed up the Ave and got some Subway, the went back to my apartment and ate it while watching some anime. I had a good chat to Dace about some work stuff and just general catch up over Skype, so that was good, I hadn’t talked to him for a while. After that I went to bed… couldn’t get to sleep for a while again.
