getting in shape

wow, getting in shape is a lot harder than i thought. my brother is in town for the holidays and we have gone to the pool a few times together. he goes normally to the vancouver aquatic centre which is much bigger than our pools but it's still water. i did 700 meters today and i was exhausted. not directly after, it took about an hour and a half to set in. and now, 9 hours later, i'm just starting to feel it in my muscles. it was fun though, and i adopted a new pair of goggles. someone left them in the sauna. met a nice woman who told me about a book "total emersion". aparently it's crackalackin' ( too much madagascar this week :) it's all about technics and stuff. i might even start training to be a lifeguard. i think that would be a great thing to be in the winter. and if i move i can always work at a pool while i'm looking for gardens to work in. that would be cool. i bet there are lots of pools in vancouver. i would like to move there. it doesn't snow as much there. don't get me wrong i like the break, but what am i going to do with myself next year. i'm going to graduate this june ( i hope) and so i will be done school. we are thinking about buying a house but we can't agree on styles or location yet. i guess it will take a little longer. maybe a little dancing - one of my mom's friends is a belly dancer, or was before she retired, in vancouver. she would danse in all the greek and turkish restaurants. she made a lot of money. it's great excersize, too. so maybe between singing, gardening, swimming, and danzing i'll be able to stay fit.

*crosses fingers* here's hoping :)
