Summer Resolution

Finally took the initiative to look for Purdue's Aquatic Center today with much difficulty. Probably took me about a half hour to find it, GPS directions were inaccurate, Jin directed me on the phone to a public pool, and finally had to call a friend for directions. Should have done that last step in the beginning! Anyway, I swam for 45 minutes today. I forgot how swimming makes me feel so good. There's something about getting from one end of the pool to the other end that is just very satisfying. I love the feeling of when I am swimming and under water and how the world is suddenly so quiet and serene. Gives me time and silence to mull over things in my head. I ended up reminiscing to the time when my brother and I were kids and we had swimming lessons. Never took those lessons seriously enough to be a good swimmer, but even so, I loved swimming. I remember my trainer being this muscular guy that I really looked up to because he was an amazing swimmer. I remember doing lesser laps than that I was asked to do, I remember learning how to dive properly and the belly slaps that I first had to endure when learning how to dive properly... Ah, good memories.

My resolution beginning this summer, swim at least 3 times a week. And keep it up after the summer!
