Days at school seem so much longer than days off! I went into school early this morning to swim before class. I can't actually swim yet but I kick boarded for about a kilometer. Then I walked into the city to pick up the rest of the manuals. I have sold all my extras, well all but one. I have 2 offers. Whoever brings me money first gets it. On my walk i found a fantastic store where you can become a ninja!
Our lesson for today was small learning. As a group of 9 we have 2 questions to research and answer in a page and a half essay. It is particularly irritating because it isn't graded. If you don't show up you will lose points from your overall grade after the exams at the end of the semester but we don't actually get any marks for the work that we are doing. Kinda like negative extra credit. The questions were difficult and we encountered computer problems so we had to work through half of lunch. After we finally finished we took a break to play around the world table tennis. If you aren't familiar with this game you play with an infinite number of people. Once you have hit the ball you run to the line on the opposite side of the table. Each person gets 3 lives after that you're out. As you get down close to the last few people it becomes quite intense. in the afternoon we "learned" stretching techniques. They are doing a terrible job at actually teaching us and we are expected to find the appropriate positioning ourselves. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the therapists at Allegheny Chesapeake physical therapy for teaching me good techniques without them I would be lost. After class we practiced for another hour. Then I headed home and prepared for tomorrow on my way.
We have no food in the house. There a couple things but too moldy to salvage. I had an apple with peanut butter for dinner because I found myself too lazy to go out to the store. Additionally Katie has decided to take on 2 more students. I hope she doesn't expect help from me because I have work to do. I'm already at Uni from 7a-6:30p but I could stay longer for a quiet place to study. Which leads me to news on the housing front: Kat is moving at the end of August and needs a roomie. Yay! I don't think she has a place in mind yet. I have had very little time to talk to her even though we are both at uni all day every day. I will keep you apprised as we get more solid arrangements. But I have a new buddy since Tory ditched me and a definite moving date since Kat has to move before the end of August. Yay!
