I backed off a little on the one-arm dumbbell snatch today. I’m pretty sure that’s what gave me the twinge in my lower back last time so I decided to be a little cautious with it. I was going to try going a little higher on the bent-over row, but couldn’t face it. I don’t need to up it by 10 lbs every week, 5 will do.

Running late, off to make dinner. I will do some studying tonight before I check in on how everyone else is doing today!

I’m technically not done the review that I wanted to do before logging back on. I just wanted to come in and add the food for the day, as by the time I’m done (maybe 30-60 mins) I probably will just want to go to bed. I run out of gas on the 6am morning days.

The only thing to add is that not only am I fast, but I’m good. I’m talking about AutoCad you know. So, not only was I first to print my drawing, but I ended up with 99/99/100 on my three drawings. Of course now I want to know what ‘miscellaneous’ error I made that got the 1% deducted. He had a marking scheme up so I went looking but it only says miscellaneous so I’ll likely have to ask him on Friday (or Monday before we start the next set). That’s 3 down, 12 to go. I need my marks in the drawing portion to be high. I’m still not convinced that I’ll do well on the theory final… especially if I have to draw something by hand! (yikes)

Oh, and I’m sitting at 35.25 out of 37.5 in Communications (yes, 94%). Of course that’s the class that 30% of the mark comes from a group project, which I’m not looking forward to. I’ll find out who my group is on Friday. I have this sneaking suspicion he’s going to put the guy nobody wants in their group in with me. Probably thinks I can handle him. Although he’s probably right, I really don’t want the aggravation.

Well, that’s enough for today. I’m not sure I’ll be on much tomorrow. I should be (a) studying, and maybe (b) colouring my hair. I could leave it until Saturday but I started playing ‘hide the white bits’ when pulling it back Monday morning, so it’s time. It should be a cardio day, but unless I’m really trying to avoid studying I will probably drop it.
