post-run thoughts

thought cluster 1:
the emotional anatomy of a run
- running always makes you feel good...AFTER you're done running.
- it makes your brain go blank DURING running. it's like someone dunked your face into a bucket full of water. in the first few seconds, you can still wonder about things (hmm, do i need to do OT later? / crap, i forgot my towel! now i have to hide from the gym instructor / damn, i stink!). after 3 minutes or so, your multi-trail mind gets on a one-way track: breathe damnit!
- it makes you sigh BEFORE you run. whether in relief (yes, finally, some time to de-stress!), grief (gah, do i have to?) or boredom (not again, i just ran yesterday), you don't really attempt to lock on to the feeling; it's better to leave it vague.

thought cluster 2:
Internet wandering today led you to a bbc article that says european forests are nearing its "saturation point" in absorbing atmospheric CO2. this means there will come a time that europe-rooted trees won't be able to contribute in the Global Forest Project of eliminating the excess CO2 in our atmosphere and cool down our planet a bit. you dunno what their asian, north and south american, middle eastern, as well as african tree counterparts have to say about that. but if they stage a strike and altogether stop sucking in the CO2, you wonder if we can swap our O2-using lungs for CO2-using ones instead? hmmmmm.

thought outburst 1:
your room is a pig sty! (which makes u a....)

stray thought 1:
you wonder what happened to the referral you gave to the HR. and the guy isn't even updating you. aysusginoo.

thought cluster 3:
so you got what you wanted. out of the more-structured class for korean. now into the ... uncertainty of self-study of malay. haha. maybe you should start small. 5 words a day, what do you say? nothing to lose.

on the subject of studying, should you go back and just finish your MA? you've gotten some money saved up now for the tuition fee and some to spare for the miscellaneous expenses. but is your heart still in the course you picked? gah. you just gave your brain something to work on tonight. maybe you should go for a run again. o.O
