Swimming!
After my last entry I had a bit of a nap because I had an annoying headache due to sleeping so late last night.
I went out to the shopping centre near me to get some swimwear. I went to Rebel and bought a nifty pair of swim shorts, a pair of goggles and a swim cap. All up it cost a bit more than $60. On a forum I frequent, I asked for advice from older men, and one of them was something like "before doing something, ask yourself whether it will make your life better or worse?"
I asked myself that and thought, yes, buying swimming gear to swim and get healthy and speeding up the recovery of my knee is a good thing. Spending money on whoring is not (to an extent). So on that basis, I decided not to see Hana tnoight, even though it's her last day before she goes to Korea. I do hope, however, that she will come back.
After that I went to the gym at the Bra, got my exercises done and on the bike I watched a bit of footy. Time passes a lot quicker when you watch the footy. When I left, I asked the girl there if any of the gyms had a pool. I needed to know, to compare prices, but I wish it had been the other one.
I then went to the uni and signed up for a 10 visit pass to the pool. As the girl was doing the data entry, my blurry vision saw a girl sitting at a desk inside the gym. I looked at her and we seemed to hold eye contact before I broke it off. Because I wrote on the form that I had a prior injury, the girl had to call her trainer - the one I had held eye contact with. She came over and asked me a couple of questions about it, and she seemed pretty friendly but I shrugged it off as her just doing her job.
I went to the change room and had trouble with the lockers, and had to ask the guy like an idiot. Turns out some of them don't work, and I was trying a faulty one, duh.
I finally got to the pool and the water was surprisingly warm. It's been soooooo long since I've been in a pool. I went into the slow lane and started doing some laps. It felt sooooo good. I felt like I could stay here forever. I couldn't believe earlier I had been on a basketball court, and now I was in a pool.
Sometimes I'd just stand at the shallow end and take a breather, admiring the place. It's hard to believe I was here in public school, where it seemed so much bigger, and the pool seemed so much deeper. I still remember clinging to the sides and learning to kick in the water. Everything was mostly still the same.
I think I stayed for nearly an hour before I felt my right foot cramp so I did one more lap and then I left. Such a good feeling, although not confident if I'd be able to wake up early enough to do 6am swims.
