Sleep, biking and competitive tennis
I think work has ruined my sleep schedule. I got up on my own this morning at 8:30. Aren't you supposed to sleep in on the weekends? This after feeling tired at 10:30 on a Friday night. Maybe I just need more crazy friends to stay out 'til 3 in the morning with.
I signed up for a tennis league here in the city. It works like a ladder system, meaning if you win, you move up and if you lose, you move down. Indy is a pretty good tennis town, so we'll see what the caliber of player is like. You may recall I was in a tennis league in Elgin two summers ago and that I ended up going 12-0, including twice beating a guy who had played in the league for three years and had a grand total of one loss prior to meeting me. I have a sense this league will be a little tougher. I'm really in it to meet people to play with outside of the league. I've been playing some and trying to get myself back into shape. I was pleased yesterday that I could play 90 minutes of full-court basketball and not really get winded. I've found a good park around 40th and Illinois with six real nice tennis courts and a basketball court where there always seems to be someone shooting around, so I'll probably frequent the place this summer and try not to be so sloth-like.
Speaking of which, I need to pull out my bike and my air compressor today and take a bike ride. I was a capitalist monster and purchased an Ipod for this very reason, so I keep thinking I'll bike down to the aforementioned park and I'll be all warmed up by then. Mapquest tells me this trip is a little under eight miles one way. That's not so bad. Probably a lot like riding the bike path in the Fox Valley between Elgin and St. Charles or Elgin and Matt's house in Wayne.
Speaking of Matt, he's one of a good-sized number of friends who will be spread out across the country either going to grad school or beginning new jobs this summer. Megan will be in Boston, Olivia in Palo Alto, Brian in DC, Matt at U of Chicago. That's kinda the funny thing about school -- the fact we meet who we do is complete happenstance. We all attended schools for undergrad for very different reasons, and then the same is true for grad schools. Your probability of meeting someone is probably pretty low, I would guess. Then, imagine all the people who get married because they meet in college. The odds against that must be astronomical, yet it happens all the time. Bizarre.
