What a wonderful start to my first day of spring quarter. Had my cognitive neuroscience class this morning, and it went much better than I had been dreading. I should have known it was going to be fun, but I was getting myself a bit worked up over the professor not emailing me bcak, and seeming sort of odd. She is odd, but in a good way, and apologized for the email snafu, and seems completely unpreturbed that I’ll be missing 30-45 minutes of class every Wednesday. Luckily only half those are not “real” class days, as we have some cancelled classes and student presentation days. Anyway, good class, good group, and I’m really looking forward to it. Oh, and we only have a 6 page paper to write! That’s crazy short – undergrad short!
I had a really productive afternoon. Went to Vacaville while Lewis was in class to check out possible work out clothes at Eddie Bauer. Found not only work out clothes, but also really cute summer shirts to wear, and some other acoutrements. I did spent twice as much as I thought I was going to (miscalculated a 30% off.. oops) but I’m in the middle of not stressing out about it, where I’m going to stay. Clothes were bought. They will serve me very well. I’m feeling very good about my waredrobe, and that seems to cost some money, and I’m willing to spend that money while it appears we have a smidge to spare. Oh, I also hit up JoAnn’s Fabrics to pick up the tracing paper I need to get going on a pair of jammies I’m trying to make Lewis. Yay.
Only other major accomplishment today: the gym! I went! I attended a yoga class tonight, and it was really nice. Lots of popping and cracking of my tired bones, and lots of working muscles I haven’t bothered with in ages. The group was really welcoming, and non-intimidating, as I was hoping for. Hour long class had me totally beat, and completely relaxed. Spent a few minutes before class in the womens-only room as well checking out the machines, and it was lovely. Very low-key, no one bothering anyone or making a fuss. After these two major successes, I signed up for the gym for-really – a 6 month go. Phew. It was cheaper than it could have been (one month free and no sign-up fee and discounted to boot) but it was still quite a downpayment. But I figure, if I go to yoga even twice a week, it’s only like four bucks a class. And right now, I am way more than four buck relaxed and worked out.
