swimming lessons
feeling a little overcommitted. i am not good at saying no. i did a questionnaire today and it asked me if i had experienced any stressful situations - it was eye-opening.
my stress is not from all my work, but rather from my interactions with people. one of the questions is whether i was forced to socialise and i answered yes. i had to go to a potluck because i was co-opted in volunteering for an organisation. i think i take on those situations because i think they're good for me, but sometimes i wonder if it's worth it.
i am taking swimming lessons. i paid $60 for ten lessons, but i am the only person in the class. and so i am getting private lessons for $6 a pop! what a wonderful deal. it's fun to duck my head in the water, to smell the familiar moist warm smell of the pool and to hear the echoing voices. something about it comforts be and reminds me of being 15 again - the happy parts of being 15. i even like the showering afterwards, wearing my blue flipflops under the supersonic pressure. i am learning the butterfly.

The swimming lessons sound fun! :) I hear you about over commiting yourself - I am doing the exact same thing at work right now. I feel like I have "I will do it" stamped on my forehead because no one else will. :S
Oh, I have haloscan comments on my diary now, so you can actually leave a comment! No more bad guestbook!

Hehe. I am temporarily making some money. Just ignore the marketing ones and read the ones that are "me". If it wasn't worth it, I wouldn't be doing it. :)
