I ate too much Nutella. I need to throw it away and never buy it again.
Yesterday I tried rowing for the first time! It was a lot of fun and I think I will be good at it. The coach said I caught on really fast and that I had 'muscular legs' :) The people on the team (technically its a club) are really friendly, too. First I practiced technique on the machines and then I got in a one man boat and practiced. It's tricky, but encouraging when you get a really good stroke! Some of my friends went surfing yesterday when it was beautiful and sunny. I would have loved to go, but it was at the same time as rowing. And I feel like rowing is more realistic for me than surfing...
Class today was interesting. I need to catch up on some reading and European history so I can participate in the seminars. I got posters and hung them up on my wall despite the 'no hanging or taping things to walls' rule. It tears the paint off, as I learned first hand today. Woops...
BB, I really want to come home for Christmas. And I knowwww you think I should spend as much time over here as possible, and I agree, but its Christmas!! I want to see my family and a Christmas tree and turkey dinner! So just start getting excited to see me if I show up in December :)

ReplyDeleteAre you sore today from rowing?!?
ReplyDeleteHow great that you are trying out rowing! I bet you would be good at it. So what time do they practice? Daily? Do you have the right clothes to stay warm and dry? I would imagine your surfing friends would need dry suits to surf in the ocean there. Burrrrr! I hope you get to try that too. Take pics of your boats to post. Love you tons!
