My thesis sucks and "I joined a gym?!"
I've been trying to get the references in order for my thesis today. So that like every thing I've written has some place I can say I got it from. The smart thing to do would have been to document where I got the things in the first place loads better but no can do. The situation is not as bad as it might be but I'm experiencing some problems due to two very good books that I've taken loads of my personal knowledge from being in Germany and out of reach. I have this one new book that has turned out to be better than I expected but I was just looking at the table of contents of this one book I had in Germany and boy would I like to have it in front of me now.
But yeah for the past week or so I've been thinking my thesis sucks. I mean I want to get a good grade and what I have now just won't do. Some parts are written from a point of view I no longer agree with now that I know better but I'm just too lazy to really start writing anything totally again and thinking about it too much. Today I did get past one episode of laziness so that's something anyhow.
I did something crazy yesterday. I joined a gym. It cost like way really ridiculously much and I think I may have like an attitude problem with guided exercise in groups as in aerobics and stuff and also to like working out in the gym. And well that's what it's going to be all about. What was I thinking? Well I've been rationalizing it since I decided to join the place and this is what I came up with.
1. If I pay way loads I have to actually go there and work out.
2. I want to get in better shape to be able to climb better.
3. Attitude problems are bad - I need to get over them.
4. There is a bus from where I live almost directly to the place.
5. In the summer I can ride my bicycle.
6. I might not have anyone to play badminton with in the summer and I need something other than climbing.
7. When I'm like 35 it would be really bad to start in a gym. If I do it now I won't have to be embarrassed about my inexperience later (when I might be fat and ugly).
8. My twin sister is doing it - I am genetically able. And I can go to her gym when I go to visit her and vice versa.
9. It might turn out to be fun.
10. And a friend of mine pointed out to me today - there might be loads of single guys there. :)
So yeah. It might not be so crazy after all although I do have to admit some of those reason are not strictly rational. Then again it might be crazy but I'm a grown-up (well at least in theory) and I can waste my money on what ever I want as long as it does not harm the people close to me. And spending money on one's well-being is never wasted. Is that not what money is for? But lets hope it was a good decision. I start in like three weeks. I'm sure I'll tell you all about it.

I have to admit one more reason...
11. I may be the twin with not such a nice hairstyle and crummier clothes and so on but I will not be "the fat twin". Never, ever.
Might seem like a weird reason but it's all about other people making comparisons.

Hey, its your gym going twin here who hasn't been to the gym for ages for lack of time... I hate it how all other things take time from my gym. Like laundry!
I think I've always been the fat twin (as to say I must have weighed at least 100 grams more than you like always)
And I haven't been to the hairdressers in like 4 months. ;) You have the nice long blond hair.
And I started buying Esprit cause your clothes were always nice than mine.
So there. We are way competitive against each other aren't we?
