Despite burning less calories, I have found zoning out to a book on the bike machine thingy preferable to staring at the kids playing basketball while I'm riding Dieter. The first five minutes is a nightmare, whilst my feet adjust to pedal[l]ing, but after that I've been tearing through Law, Sexuality, and Society in Classical Athens. The first chapter discussed complex social theories, but the next two progressed in more comprehensible English.
Tomorrow morning I am moving in early back to the dorm room. Halls do not reopen, officially, until Sunday, but Jaki (the girl I replaced at the apartment) returns from China on Saturday, which means I need to vamoosh at some point before eleven that morning. I packed most items this afternoon, and shall begin the slow journey westward (no car; no friends in town yet) around eight or nine. I am grateful the apartment and the dorm are only about a seven minutes' stroll apart.
