Okay, I didn’t learn and went to the Institute again. Was it better than last time? Certainly not. This lesson was accompanied by a soundtrack made by our instructor (good idea: as soon as you notice repeating songs you’ll know that soon it will be over), it started with AC/DC’s TNT.

Guided by the song I started euphorically into the warm-up exercises. I lasted longer than the song, alas not much. At the end of the second song, which I don’t remember as I was trying to keep going, I looked at the clock and noticed that my endurance is down to approximately ten minutes.

The next song that came through my fatigue was Foo Fighter’s Burn Away. At least I only gave up during the last exercise (which was meant to power out everyone), but my body ain’t made for too many alternating push- and sit-ups.

Have I already mentioned that after that I enrolled for a three month beginners course? Might do some good.. for example I wouldn’t be able to smoke today even if I wanted. So where’s my magnesium? Maybe I can prevent some of tomorrow’s muscle soreness.

I am realizing that everybody’s lost their simple ways
and now that it’s here I see it all so clearly
I’ve come face to face with the enemy, the enemy.
