lets get fit
hey everyone!
so let me just say that college life at Boston University definitely has its ups and downs. like everything is so convenient here. and its just the right distance away from home. but then again the campus is like 2-3 miles long and i have to walk up 5 flights of stairs to get to my classes. but despite the bad, i love it here. really!
i guess i want to share an embarrassing story with you (for those of you who know me well, you know i am an embarrassing moment magnet). well, here goes nothing. feel free to read and laugh aloud (like LOL).
so a few days ago, i was hanging out with my friends. we were at an ice cream social for the college of arts and science, but i snuck in because i am sneaky. then i called my other friend to hang out. he said that he was taking a run and would meet me at the fitness and recreation center. i was delighted since i had never seen the fit-rec before and i really wanted to explore the area. he told me he would be on the third floor exercising and asked me to hang on to his phone and give it back when we met up at fit-rec. and of course i agreed! i love doing favors for my friends. any how, the fit-rec proved to be a more complex building that i had imagined.
now envision me: small asian girl, nice sandals, skinny jeans, pretty pink fluffy top, and a brown handbag. (try your best here, i don't have an actual picture).
okay so i walk into fit-rec where EVERYONE is dressed to exercise and body build. and i go to swipe in my card...but the area where i thought i could swipe in had arrows pointing towards me (OUTWARD). so i went to the front desk and said: "hi, i'm trying to get into the fitness center". the front desk people knew off the bat that i was not really coming to exercise. so i went to sign a waiver form and then i was admitted into the center. (phewph! not too difficult).
so i go to the elevator and press third floor thinking, this is no problem. piece of cake right? wrong.
the door opens to an indoor track. yes. that is it. i walk out and i'm on the track. umm, so where are the weight lifting machines and the sweaty buff guys? definitely not here! in my mind, i devised an expert plan. i will walk around the track and see if i can spot my friend. however, my plan back fires when everyone turns to look at me, the girl with the nice fluffy shirt. i felt completely humiliated! and to make things worse, i could not turn around on the track because everyone was running in one direction. so i had to complete one full lap around the indoor track and watch people watch me.
then i decided maybe he meant the 2nd floor. or the 1st floor. so i get back on the elevator and press the first floor button and the second floor button. when the door opens for the second floor, i stay on and wait for first floor. then i realize that the first floor is wrong so i stay on again and go back to the second floor...and the people who saw me go down, watched me come back up again. oh my goodness.
so now envision me again but with sweat on my forehead and super duper red cheeks. (thanks, but get rid of that image as soon as you're finished reading).
so i decide to go back to my dorm room. and i do. but i still have my friend's phone. anyways, he called his phone with his roommate's phone. and we decided to meet up at the entrance to the fit-rec. he told me to call his friend's number when i arrived. great plan right? everything will work out. WRONG.
his phone has a lock. so i could not find his roommate's number and i again had no way to contact him. but i still entered the fit-rec once more. and sat on a bench. waiting and waiting. hoping that he would come down soon. but no. i was wrong. so again, i swipe my card and go in. and i'm am utterly confused. where should i go? up the stairs? up the elevator? down the elevator? i basically just stood at the bottom of the stairs and prayed that nobody was watching me.
okay thats my story. sorry, bad ending. my friend found me. and thats basically it. i just vow never to enter the fit-rec center again in my whole entire life. but of couse, i will break that vow someday when i am not going alone and i feel the need to exercise on machines.
thank you for reading. so when you get embarrassed, you can think of my story. haha.

i believe
walked blindly to the light
and reached out for his hand
don't ask any questions and don't try to understand
open your mind and then open up your heart
and you will see that you and me are very far apart
i believe that love is the answer
i believe that love will find a way
violence is spread worldwide and there's families on the street
we sell drugs to children now oh why can't we just see
that all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today
money is our incentive now so that makes it okay
i believe that love is the answer
i believe that love will find a way
and reached out for his hand
don't ask any questions and don't try to understand
open your mind and then open up your heart
and you will see that you and me are very far apart
i believe that love is the answer
i believe that love will find a way
violence is spread worldwide and there's families on the street
we sell drugs to children now oh why can't we just see
that all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today
money is our incentive now so that makes it okay
i believe that love is the answer
i believe that love will find a way
