I feel like a truck ran over me tonight.  I suspect it’s the after effect of three tests in two days.  Well, two tests and a quiz.  I’m so glad these two are over… now it’s math next week.  Sigh… and one more test in processing sometime in (likely) the next couple of weeks.  Oh well, soon it will be finals.  The only good thing about that is that the last final date possible is Dec. 13th.  This gives us a full four weeks before classes start next term.

So, off to bed I go.  The doctor’s office is doing a flu shot clinic so my mother and I will go in tomorrow before I head off to school.  I should do some cardio, but I think I’ll push it off until Saturday morning.  I’d do it tomorrow during my long break but my Metrology teacher picked exactly halfway in the middle of that time period to review my midterm (at my request).

AM Snack: protein shake, sour cherries (267)

Not too bad a workout. I’m still being a little cautious with the one-arm overhead movements, since I’m sure that’s where my sore back from. I decided that working on form, and getting the movements more fluid probably wasn’t a bad thing. I think it’s time to add weight to the split squat as I managed to do all sets without falling over. Okay, there were a couple of almost moments. The negative chin-ups are, well, sad - but I suppose I have to start somewhere. I’m still playing with the bands, but I think it will even be a while before I can do a band assisted chin-up.
