Monica's Journal: you know, february

so i've started taking aerobics classes. i've taken two step classes, and one kickboxing. so far, i haven't quite been able to keep up in step, but i'll keep going. and kickboxing just rocked. not only did i learn the difference between a hook and an uppercut, but it was a great workout that i could keep up with. i bought some workout pants from the local kmart that's going out of businesss, so now i'm set. but having a gym bag of my workout clothes is pretty foreign. (i also needed a new folding chair for the room, so i bought one from kmart that's painted like an american flag.)

    todd's friend (and mine) allison came to visit us from RISD last weekend, that was super-fun.

    now in addition to my project this semester, i have three classes that meet once a week. basically that means that i'm spending most of my time in my room and not working. but still.

    i just came from a senior project meeting. in math, i always grasp some of the lecture/textbook/article content, but then there's always a point where i stop understanding. it's because i'm bad at math. and the fact that i understand my whole project implies to me that it must be simple or dumbed-down. so i kind of need to make sure that it's actually real scholarly work and not just some symbols on a page that i cut-and-pasted from Character Map.

    there's still snow here. all the sophomores are like "there wasn't this much snow last winter!" but last winter wasn't a real winter. i like to describe bard winters by saying it snows in november and it doesn't melt until april. and it's a good thing snow makes everything brighter.

i got another message today. i just ignored it.
