Shockingly, my arms a little sore after yesterdays' floating in the river and swimming against a fast flowing current experience. The river was running pretty fast (we've been getting a lot of rain), but I didn't do as much swimming as last year either. I'm kind of glad. towareds the end, we have to turn up another arm of the river and swim up it in order to get the the landing. that was the part I had trouble with, until I found out that because of the way the channel is formed, there are some very shallow bits, and where I was trying to swim only came up to my waste! However I was afraid of cutting my feet on glass or shells, and also of leeches (which in retrospect is silly - the current was waaay too fast for leeches). Anyway. My arms are sore! That was not my point. that was just a comment!

My point is mostly that I am trying to plan my day. I just got out of bed a little while ago. I need to go up somewhere where I can buy some expensive paper. I think I may walk up to and then bus back from the mall/general shopping-y area. I need to figure out how much paper I need, for one thing, and this requires determining how many thesis copies I'll ultimately be printing. probably 5, which is ~750 sheets of paper. Which is gonna be pretty heavy... I think I may be going about this the wrong way. I think maybe today I should just buy *a* pack of the expensive paper, because paper is Heavy, and then see if I can't find someone who can take me to get more when I need to print more than just my signature pages.

I have other things I want to do today as well - finish this week's installment of Pieces, for one, and finish with the last few chapters of corrections of my thesis. I actually only have two more chapters - I got through a lot of it on Friday. Tonight is Exia too, though we will be missing a few people.

Anyway, that's a lot of stuff to do! I should probably get started on it, instead of just sitting on my butt. Time for food and getting dressed, I guess.

Rar!
