I thought I would share what happened to me today, and yes, it does relate to Arakawa, I promise.
Today, I went to swim team practice, and occasionally, we will have race sets. Unfortunately, today was one of those days. We were supposed to do 6 sets of 200 meters and finish them by a specific time, and I did just okay in the first one. I just barely finished it on time, and I was thinking, "Ugh, there is no way I can do all six," and I needed some sort of inspiration. I somehow ended up thinking of the Arakawa *2 theme song, COSMOS vs. ALIEN, and its upbeat-ness sort of naturally led me through the other five. I just kept on singing it in my head, and I finished just like that! and on the last five, I beat my first 200 by at least 2 seconds! Right then I thought, Thank god i watch anime!
And that's how Arakawa made my life a little better
