I woke up a little earlier today (I guess it was yesterday now) and since I'm in a period with not much work to do, I decided to continue to read "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!", which I had started (I had read the first chapter) a little over a month ago. I wouldn't do this normally (many people can attest to that). Although I'm not clear on exactly how I picked up the book from my desk, I can say that I've been reading it for more or less the entire day (through a couple classes). I got up to Part V today (240 pages). It's made me remember how much I enjoy reading for pleasure. Ever since I was a kid, if I picked up a good book (a
weekly trip to the library would bring back a dozen novels or so) I couldn't
put it down (to the point of my parents getting angry at me). I can totally
get enveloped into a good book. Over the past several years, I've put off
reading for pleasure (except for a new Grisham that comes out every now and
then), because there always seemed something more important to do (like a
prelim or something). I guess I started thinking about this when Krish said
that he'd like to know really why I work instead of taking time off for
stuff I like to do. I'm not sure.. it's difficult to explain, but I try to
prioritize things that need to be done. Reading for pleasure is not very
high on the top of the list. I guess that just means that I'm not very good
at managing my time. Probably the main reason for taking up cross is for training. Nothing can beat the incredible workout afforded the roadie by this off-season sport. It builds stunning arm and upper-body strength and bike-handling skills that will eliminate the fear of rainy craterous and gravel spotted roads, increases cardio-respiratory endurance and takes up surprisingly little time, since a one hour workout can be more advantageous than hours on mind-numbing rollers.
