I just got back from the beach, which means I'm all hot/sweaty/sticky. (Yes, yes, I know you're all going to leer at me now. I think I'll manage to cope. ;P)

I went there to study, which I did, but since I was there I figured I'd hike and get some physical-fu into my system since I've been so lethargic lately. I think I feel better, but I'm noticing it's taking more and more exercise to get to the point where it's actually helping. I think this is a good thing, but who knows?

Anyway...
