I really should remember that you should always greadually break in new running shoes. I had recently bought new running shoes since the old shoes were getting ratty (soles worn out). So I try several pairs on to see how well they fit and if they would cause any problems later. And I did some walking and jumbping in them just to make sure. I find a pair and I buy them.
Yesterday, I decided to seriously test them out by running faster and longer than I normally do. Which, if you don't know, is a seriously dumb mistake. I'm up around 6.5 to 7.0MPH and the problems begin. When I am done with my running, I notice that my right foot feels funny.
I'm thinking, "Must be a cramp or something. It will go away once I stretch and walk a bit."
Nope. So once I'm done exercising, I check my foot out and there is a nasty blister on my right foot. Not fun. The only good news is that it didn't burst. I'm now beginning to see why that first aid class I took was useful.
If you've ever seen Boston Legal, you'll know that one of the many unusual characters that populate the show has Asperger's Syndrome. It's characterized as a "condition marked by impaired social interactions and limited repetitive patterns of behavior. Motor milestones may be delayed and clumsiness is often observed." Which is interesting in itself as someone I know asked if I might have Asperger's. Go figure.
I'm not sure. Maybe I do given the list of symptoms:
Abnormal nonverbal communication, such as problems with eye contact, facial expressions, body postures, or gestures
Failure to develop peer relationships
Being singled out by other children as "weird" or "strange"
Lack of spontaneous seeking to share enjoyment, interests or achievements with others (a lack of showing, bringing, or pointing out objects of interest to other people)
Markedly impaired expression of pleasure in other people's happiness
Inability to return social or emotional feelings
Inflexibilty about specific routines or rituals
Repetitive finger flapping, twisting, or whole body movements
Unusually intense preoccupation with narrow areas of interest, such as obsession with train schedules, phone books, or collections of objects
Preoccupation with parts of whole objects
Repetitive behaviors, including repetitive self-injurious behavior
Do I have any of them? Actually, to be honest, several if not most of them. It might explain a lot about what's up with my head and the way I show a lack of interest in interacting with people. If you can consider what I do "interaction" with others. I kind of wonder why the hell am I in law school if that requires interacting with people and I show a certain dislike for such social interaction. Or I am not a naturally sociable person. Ah, the joys of the Internet in making a person doubt their mental condition.
The law school bathrooms smell bad. Really bad. Nauseously bad. They smell like an animal died in them and to add to the stench, someone decided to dump some raw sewage on top and let is sit for a week under the sun. The first floor bathroom is the prime offender to the nose. I'm not using the bathrooms in the law school due to the smell.
Time to go to International Trade Law. Maybe I can find some time to study for Federal Income Taxation as I have this bad feeling that I will be up very soon to solve some particularly evil tax problems.
That's all for now.
