Lately I've been going for walks through the woods/the gym when it's cold and creepy outside. The gym kind of sucks. Even though I read an entire Shakespeare comedy, I get pretty bored just looking at the same 90lb girls run around the track for an hour while I trudge away on the mechanical bike. I do it regardless because I'm trying this "healthy" thing. We'll see how long it lasts.
ANYWAY,
I really do enjoy taking walks outside. I have this same route that I go - a trail behind campus - but I see something different every time. In the gym, I feel almost pressured and too focused on the task at end (you won't believe how hard it is to thoroughly read Shakespeare while riding a fake bike) but outside, my thoughts are endless. It's relaxing, and I get to clear my head of all the bullshit. And Elle Woods was right - it really does make me happier! These past two weeks(ish) I've found myself in a weird, moody slump and getting out into the "wilderness" really helped to lift my spirits.
So, weather get nicer! God dammit.
