Working Out

I worked out my entire summer break with almost no breaks in my routine. The only time i had to go off of my routine was when i went to my grandpa's house, where no gym was available for me to go work out at. I gained about 2-3kg but was still frustrated that i didnt gain any more in over two months. Once summer break ended, i chose to stop working out since my schedule would become pretty packed and the gym i went to had a pretty long commute. Over the course of a couple of months, i lost the 2-3kg i had gained.

Of course i was frustrated again. I was frustrated before that i had only gained 2-3kg, but losing the precious 2-3kg that i had gained so quickly was surprising to say the least. At this point, i gave up on trying to make any gains until i had a 3+ week break in school, which i could use to go work out. Luckily, the school gym became open for use in the mornings which i decided to take advantage of. I go with a few other people who live near me and although i have to get up over an hour earlier than i would normally have to, i feel it's worth it since i dont have to go on feeling down. Whether or not ill be able to make any gains is something i dont know for sure yet, but its worth a try since experience gained will help me not make the same mistakes again. Ill probably post back on this in a month or two. Its somewhat likely that i could stop by then if i get too backed up on school work and college applications.

Screen

It's broken. I've watched it religiously for over a year now, and it's finally broken. My macbook screen.

I'm still not sure what happened. I have my suspicions but I have no way to be sure of what exactly happened to my screen. Well, to reword that better, I can tell what happened to the screen since there's puncture mark on my macbook cover that lines up with my macbook, but I can't remember when this could have happened.

Up until the morning before I left, the screen was fine. Fine in the sense that it was as good as a macbook screen could be. But once I woke my macbook up from its hibernation, I was pleasantly surprised by a white mark that webs out to the rest of the screen.

My thoughts regarding this are still incoherent. I'm in a sort of denial about this, since fixing it would be great but at the same time, would take a few days and cost quite a bit more than $200. As of now, I'm planning to keep my broken screen until the start of winter break, since I most likely won't need my macbook as much as I need it now. I'm sure I'll change my mind a few times before I actually fix it though. Who knows, maybe I'll never get around to getting my screen fixed.

Looking at it right now is pissing me off.
