Last month I was depressed, not in like oh I’m just so sad, but literally all I wanted to do was sit on the couch and sleep. This month has been a complete 180. I feel like I’ve become a new me ever since MLK day.
I started driving down to class twice a week which I’m actually really enjoying. Its rare to take a class I like, its called Sensor networks, and the whole point of the class is to take these common everyday products and overwrite their embedded systems, with like a hacked linux distro.
On top of this cool class I began doing Hot Yoga ranging from Vinyasa flow to pilates, to a simple relaxation practice. Its basically working out in a 10o degree room with a bunch of other sweaty people. Its been fabulous not only has it helped me get in shape, but my goal of expanding my social circle has started to flower. I got to go on a date with this really fun girl from Des Moines, who probably wouldn’t have even looked twice if I hadn’t had told her I did yoga actively. Plus my teachers are really cool and I’m meeting some nice people.
I’ve realized over the past few years I’ve allowed my social circle to stagnate a bit. Not saying I dislike my friends, I just haven’t added many new friends via facebook in a while. The only downside to all of this is with my recent responsibility increase at work, all these social outings are suck away all my free time. I haven’t been sleeping much and I feel like I’m constantly on the go. Its a bit tiring, but its a good tiring 🙂
