Spaghetti Weights

Pretty slow day today. I set my alarm to 9:15 but didn’t roll out of bed until 10:20. I exercised this morning with one of the DVDs mom sent me and ended up using boxes of pasta as weights—they were the only things that were easily grabbable that I had two of! The pasta inside is probably all broken but that’s OK.

I had to present a chapter from the novella we’re reading in Greek. And by novella, I mean an easy- reader with page long chapters about a girl who works at a radio station. I have noticed my Greek improving though, which is very exciting. I can understand much more than I could before, and my speaking ability is definitely getting better. Of course, now I’m going to go to Italy and Spain for two weeks and will speak no Greek, but I think I’m going to bring my flashcards just to make sure all this vocab stays fresh in my mind.

I just had a little salad for dinner and was feeling so proud of myself for exercising and eating well, and then Abby made pull-apart cinnamon bread and Callie made brownies. Game over. I’ll have to exercise even more than I planned tomorrow, especially since I’m visiting Dad in this weekend Munich and will be eating all kinds of heavy German food.

I spent the rest of the evening obsessively cleaning my room as a way to procrastinate studying for my last midterm, and when I was done I still found stuff on my floor; it was so aggravating! I then spent forever doing Greek homework that’s not due for a few days and then studying Greek—can someone explain to me how I could procrastinate with more studying? As Tanya put it, “Classic scruncher!”
