Whew, Anna's almost ready for the conference in 6 hours! Whee! Gotta say it's been a stressful semester for both of us, and it's only half over. I'll be glad when it's over. I'm not even the one throwing it together!

I'm thinking of going veggie again. Right now I feel like it's the only dietary guideline that I know I can stick to, and I'm semi-educated enough about food that I know what I need and should eat...

I'm considering getting back into tai chi and yoga. While those aren't incredibly health-enhancing things physically, mentally they do provide some stability, and I did love my 'tai chi days' when I constantly had it on my mind--it was kind of neat to get off the bus or drive my beat up car down to the community college, do some tai chi, and then go back into life as a crazy student of fencing and life in general.

I'm planning on giving my room the cleaning of its life this weekend. It's part transplant from my room in Dayton, so it should be quite the undertaking. I'm also going to try to keep my nose in a book or three, and see if I either get any work caught up or see if I get any reading done.

My Aunt Geneva died. I wasn't incredibly close, but she's someone I always knew well. She was a cool lady, and my Grandma's partner in crime. She really was my Grandma's lifeline for a lot of things. I'm not even sure how she died yet, I just know that she was up there in years. I hope she went peacefully.

Gosh, leaving home for 3 years can really change things. I wonder how much has happened since I've been gone?

Oh! I picked up a flyer for a Capoeira class! Sweet!
