Official News of the Week
I’m getting really pumped up for Spring Break and Camp Bob, as you would expect. The challenge for the week is just getting done everything else so I can have an academically clean mind when I’m rowing my butt of in beautiful South Carolina.
The official verdict on my hand: No apparent fracture but they could see evidence of a severe sprain on the x-ray (didn’t know you could see those on an x-ray, wooo medicine) so I have been advised not to “lift anything heavy” for a few weeks. I am not going to count rowing as lifting heavy things, ha ha. I’ve been advised to keep wearing that stupid brace I can’t wear anymore as it’s uncomfortable and even I don’t like giving the world the finger for more than a few hours. I tried to practice on the finger today and actually had to quit. It just simply is to painful to function as a rower, so I’m praying that I make some big headway by Spring Break. For those of you who ask how I injured my finger, I wish I had a better story for you; had a rough practice, hurt for a few days, got it examined and X-rayed. Thats my extravagant story. I’m going to row this break no matter what, even if it means finishing the leftover vicodin from my wisdom teeth surgery.
In other news, I am typing from my bed on my spiffy new laptop. I got it in today and spent several hours making it what I wanted. What did I want? Nothing to do with Vista. This machine came installed with Vista and it was absolutely terrible. It was disgustingly slow and ugly and a truly good investment of time to search the entire internet for XP drivers for all of my hardware. So a word to the wise, if you get a new computer, do what you can to supply it with XP, even if it means buying a copy OEM and installing it yourself.
But, thats about all the news I have for you. Keep and eye here next week, as Camp Bob has some WIFI zones and I intend to post pictures/blogs from the south.
