Lesson Learned

At times I wonder whether my brain actually works or not. I believe there are times that it malfunctions needless to say that it does give me some good laughs. Yesterday after I finished working out, I had my backpack with me still since on my walk home, the rec center is on the way so I just stopped. My brain was working before I left because I packed everything I needed for the gym including some knee icing cream, to soothe it after I am done running. I didn't put it on right after since I was still walking home, once I arrived home I went outside to lay out in the sun to cool off. I rubbed some cream onto my knee. The directions on the tube is to wash hands thoroughly once you are finished. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why (I am sure you know where this is headed). Needless to say I decided, without thinking, to not wash my hands. I figured out why you need to wash the area which this cream is not needed because it doesn't numb it exactly but it gives it a funny feeling, so my hands had a weird feeling to them the rest of the evening. Oh there is never a dull moment.
I just finished The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad for a class and started The Big Sleep for the same class. We are reading a novel a week, for six weeks. I am excited since we will be comparing the books to the movies. The Heart of Darkness was an extremely dense book which took me a while to read not because it is long (it is quite short actually) but because the details are important to the denotation of the book to understand the connotation and vise versa. For my other English class I am having a little bit of a writers block, I am stuck at the moment. I cannot write my paper for some reason, I am hoping that I can push past it after this weekend.
Last quite note, I found a bike on Amazon and contemplating whether to purchase it or not, I am writing a pro and con list, we will see what happens.
