Lifting School Books And Syllabi

Fall classes for graduate studies started this week for my wife and I and it was quite hectic as we registered for classes here, dropped classes there, picked up more classes and so on.

One such case happened today as I attended a class that required like 5 books, some of which were thick large volume commentaries or dictionaries. I began to imagine how much muscle mass I could gain just by lifting and carrying all the required books to and from class every day.

Probably it would do me good, but in addition to all the books required for the class the professor passed out 4 separate syllabus packets! The papers together were so thick, they could have never been stapled together as one packet, hence the 4-pack. It goes without saying, but I dropped that class for a more reasonable one...

All in all with the rearranging of classes, mapping out homework assignments and scheduling new work hours I found myself today being limited to mental exercises without the benefit of important physical exercise.

*Shrug* Some days are like that!
