This morning has been weird so far.
We had a rescheduled Con Law class, so I had to get up an hour earlier than I usually do on Fridays. We met in a different room, which made the whole experience feel funny. We talked about fundamental rights, reproductive rights and the right to privacy in Griswold v. Connecticut, and the "penumbra" of the rights protected in the Bill of Rights. (I said "rights" a lot of times in that paragraph.)
At the last moment of class, as we were being dismissed, someone shouted, "Hey, Contracts is cancelled!" Disbelief erupted, but it turned out to be true - which is why I'm here writing this now.
It's good because now I have plenty of time to do my reading for Torts, but it's annoying because, well, I actually want to learn Contracts. I feel like we haven't really gone anywhere in the past week, and it's getting frustrating.
Later this afternoon, perhaps after Torts, I'm planning to go up Kent's Ledge. I made the round trip in 44 minutes on Monday, though I don't think I'll be able to beat that today - too little sleep for proper energy output, and the angst that was fueling me on Monday isn't really there today. That was the last real exercise I got, though, and I need some more.
I've been really missing the hiking around San Jose lately. It's ironic that the hiking should be so much better in a dense urban area than in an isolated rural area, but such is the case. Around here, there are about three places to go hiking that don't involve driving 20 miles or more. There isn't nearly the variety of environments that there is in the Bay Area. Part of what made hiking so much fun when living in San Jose was that there were so many varied places nearby - here, it's pretty much all about Kent's Ledge (absent long drives). Now that frisbee season is over, I may have to take up some other kind of exercise... all I can think of is jogging, and I suck at that, and I don't even like it, but it's better than getting flabby.
I don't know if I've posted this picture before, but I don't care - it's from a place I've been thinking of a lot lately, Almaden Quicksilver -
