Cheap Thrills

It looks like I'll have to take the summer off of iCAN, or at least just work on my independent study project. The class that I want to take is offered only in the fall semester. Then I can take calculus starting in the spring semester. (Taking calculus in the short summer session would be madness.) Though hmm, I might need to start the three-semester calculus sequence in the fall.

I went and got my "I-card" (university ID card). Now I'm able to check out library books at the uni's main library. And hey, I can take buses for free. Then I picked up meds and got a passport picture taken. Then I went and got the new printer. On the way home, I had a craving for a Whopper for some reason, so I ordered one for delivery. It was good.

A gray-haired guy turned his head and looked at me while I was walking around campus. Either he was surprised to see a peer in the heart of campus or he thought that I was cute. Anyway, that was my cheap thrill for the day.

Had a study session with the TA from math class. Looked at the homework problems, and they made my head spin.

Aldi's "PurAqua Sparkling Flavored Frost Water" is pure crack. I've had three flavors and they've all been good. And they're $0.65 a bottle! I'm tempted to get a bunch of them.

Yay, the new printer is working. Filled out the passport application wizard online and printed it out. I need a stapler to attach my passport photo, so I'm going to run to Meijer and get one. I should pick up more pens too (done).

I'm wiped out. I'll finish the passport renewal application tomorrow.

Return to Yoga

I stayed up stupidly late last night thinking about school and stuff. I took a nap over lunch, but I've been kind of brain dead.

I did make it to yoga. Whenever I do yoga, I think about how much I like it, but the trick is making the time to go to the class (and practice outside of class?) I'd like to take the time to follow some of the Adriene yoga videos on my non-class days. My therapist thinks that my stress levels are off the charts, and she thinks that yoga would really help.

There is another yoga studio that has classes on Saturdays for people over 50, but I don't want to start something right before I go to Michigan. Plus those classes are right after my therapy session, but we could probably reschedule the session.

I think that I should find a yoga studio near my mom's house to pick up some lessons while I'm there. I emailed a gym by my mom's house, to which I have access from my health plan, to see if I could take some yoga classes there. I can swim there, so that at least would be relaxing. I need to bring my swim bag with me.

I should probably start a meditation practice again, but I feel like I can't deal with one more thing.

I got my homework done and did pretty well on it. Go me and all that.

I'm having a bitch of a time finding a house cleaner. I just messaged someone else with an actual business, so I'm hoping that they'll do it.

I'm tired. I'm thinking about going to sleep and getting up early. I need to hose down litter boxes outside, but that would be easier after it gets light. Oh yeah, I need to finish up and mail the passport renewal too.
