Exercise

Today I woke up and did my normal stuff.  I have my routine down perfectly to where I know what time I have to be done with something so that I don't get behind schedule.  It's kind of fun.  Anyway, we walked to school this morning and the first class was biology.  We had to go to a different classroom with the chairs that have the little desks attached to them.  Then the teacher turned on the projector and projected the textbook on the wall. All the light were off and it was so hard not to fall asleep! Despite the fact that I got about 8 hours of sleep last night, I could barely keep my eyes open.  Half way through the class, I decided to finish up my Italian homework, which took me about 10 minutes, and then a little while later, class ended and my Italian teacher picked me up.

We did the usual stuff for two hours.  Just different exercises and small conversations in Italian.  Then I went back down to class for the last hour, which was math.  We were learning something different today, and some of it looked vaguely familiar, but the teacher did the examples so fast that it was hard to understand the steps to solving the problems, and I couldn't understand what she was saying.  It was funny though because she wrote "funzioni" on the board and then she wrote "functions" in parentheses next to it and the class started applauding and looking at me because she was using English.  When she was putting the homework on the board, she also wrote "homework" above it for me.  It was quite nice.  Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do the homework even though it's probably super simple.

After walking home, we had lunch and it was delicious.  Lorena put this meat on my plate and I asked her what it was and she said rabbit! I'm not sure I've ever had rabbit before, but it was very good! We also had these yummy potato things and bread.  Then Lorena and Roberto left for work and I skyped with my dad and Janie and I caught up with "So You Think You Can Dance" with a series of about 15 youtube videos because apparently they don't show full episodes on the website in different countries!  Anyway, I am very happy with the results of the show.

At 6, Lorena took me to the gym so that I could do a class with Giovanna again.  We also decided that I am going to get a 3 month membership! Woo hoo! I did the step class for the second time and it was a little harder than last time, but so much fun! I think I got a hang of it now.  Then after that, Giovanna and I did another workout by ourselves until around 8:10.  I love love love going to the gym. Not only does it give me something to do, but it also makes me feel accomplished and leaves me less guilty about eating so much food!  Afterwards, Giovanna's mom said she would meet us at this shopping center so we had to put our hoods on and run to center in the pouring rain, trying to avoid puddles as we went (unsuccessfully).  More exercise! It was fun!  We were really wet by the time we got there.  

Then for dinner, we had another interesting dish.  It was onion and zucchini roasted in the oven with breadcrumbs on top (very good), this stringy cheese stuff (very good), and more bread.  Now I'm wondering whether not I should go to bed early since it obviously didn't keep me awake during the day! But I like sleeping, so I'm going to anyway.

Buonanotte!
