Current Thoughts

Been awhile since I last posted. Might as well post another update on my current weight then:

TOUGH MUDDER

Been lifting on and off for about a year and half now. I had completed my first Tough Mudder back in October 2013 in NJ and it wasn't easy. I failed 1 of the events where you had to hold onto the edges of the ledge and swing yourself from one ledge to another. The distance between the ledges were pretty far from one another and I slipped right when I transitioned to the next ledge. The water was freezing cold especially in the middle of an October morning. The "Arctic Edema" was by far the most intense obstacle I had came across at the time. It was basically a bath filled with ice cubes and you had to duck under the ice bath to get across. My heart nearly stopped when I got out as I was in shock. My hands were stone cold as I removed the goggles from my eyes and was dripping ice cold water everywhere. The run after felt easier since I left that cold ass ice bath jolted my alive. Lazy to comment on the rest of the course, but when they named their course "Tough Mudder" they seriously mean fucking "TOUGH MUDDER". Whole course was running in ankle deep mud. My legs were shot towards the end of the course even though I had trained for the event.
Fun day though. Maybe I'll attach some pictures later.

Enough of the blabbering of the Tough Mudder, now that I'm about to graduate from college I've been trying to find a job. I can tell ya that its so damn hard. At the moment I'm looking into a Microbiology Lab to work as a technician, but no reply yet from any of the venues that I applied to. I'm beginning to think I'm screwed for the future and will fail out of my mind and achieve nothing. Possible solution is only going to graduate school going for microbiology masters degree. This choice doesnt appeal to me at all since I've been in school for years and it has seriously worn me out. My mind doesnt jog like it use to.

I was thinking about traveling a bit with the small amount of money I had saved up. Norway would be nice but I rather go there during winter cause I just love the cold/snow that much. Debating whether I should also visit Taiwan since I havnt visited my country in years. Or maybe Malaysia. No clue yet.

A lot more on my mind, but thats all for now before this post becomes any longer.
