I am wearing the denim skirt I bought when I worked at Marshalls aeons ago, with pajama pants (bedecked linearly with a card suit pattern) underneath so that I might sit cross-legged as I study on the benches upstairs in the foreign languages building without people making unfavorable presumptions about my character.
Jen (who I call "Brain", for she sometimes behaves as though she might wear the other half of mine) saw me this morning and noted I have lost weight. Das gefällt mir, for I have lost about five pounds over the past week or so, without having to entirely abstain from food. I eat cereal for breakfast, snack on gummi bears (usually Trolli, sometimes Haribo) before classes, knock back a Full Throttle with pudding and some sort of wrap for lunch, then work out sometime during the afternoon or early evening, depending on whether I have work. My appetite has substantially decreased, but I need to remember to keep myself hydrated.
I anticipate immensely the archaeological excavation lecture I am to attend this evening. Dr. Reed assures me Dr. Long is most interesting and insightful. Also, he is to be bringing pottery and other items for show-and-tell. Viel Spaß.
