I finally swam today for the first time since Monday (I was too busy with papers and finals to go this week). It hurt my shoulder, but it felt good - six thousand meters. I've gained a few pounds since I've been here, partially because (a) I tend to be far more attached to my computer when abroad, (b) my swimming possibilities have been cut in half, and (c) I'm forced to eat what the dining hall serves me, which does not include lovely green salad. (And, of course, the European chocolate.) But it'll come off fast once I'm back home eating normally, swimming normally, and running again. My shoes were just too worn down, and I was getting problems with my plantar fascia (it felt like I had a few pieces of plastic moving around under my arch) so I went ahead and sold them rather than be tempted to keep running on them.

So Thursday will be not only a haircut, but shoes too.

Anyway, the Jaguars are currently playing the 49ers, and doing pretty horribly from what I can make out - they're only up by one point. I've only got 53 minutes of laptop power left, so I want to shut down, but I don't want to miss the end of the game. Grrr.
