I've decided I may be losing weight. I'm noticing my wrists and they look exceptionally unhealthy. I've been taking multivitamins, but I don't think I've been eating enough lately. This is mostly because I rowed everday this week, except today.
Sunday we were supposed to do Isis or something like that but our boat wasn't licensed so that didn't work out. Either way, I just woke up and went so I didn't really eat until 3 or 4
Monday was the session in the tank at 1...which is during lunch...
Tuesday was on the river..at 1:30..so I ate a litte bit of fruit and had to leave....
Then Yesterday was at 1 so I just woke up at 12 and ate toast....
Today I was finishing up my essay which was due at 5.... so I just skipped lunch
Tomorrow my tute is at 1:30 becase the qualifying round for the Torpids rowing competition is during my normal tute time....
So it seems I won't be getting a decent lunch tomorrow either. Then Saturday and Sunday are always an afterthought when it comes to food since we don't eat in the dining hall....
so I may turn out to be shamefully unhealthy this week. Fortunately it looks like we are having dinner with Dr. Hadaway in the Georgetown Flat on Sunday! It is nice to have someone from Georgetown here for a little while.
I may be not getting enough food really, but there's no doubt I'm getting plenty of exercise. My legs haven't been this strong since my senior year in track.....all this biking and rowing keeps them alive. It will be sad if I lose all of my strength over the break.
I can't believe it's already Thursday again! My paper this week did not go very well. I went to start working on it yesterday.....and somewhere around 7 or 8am I was finally able to settle on a question and outline to start writing with. I don't know if I just didn't understand the reading or if none of the questions appealed to me, or if I was just too nervous about not doing well to start, or if I just was so exhausted from all the rowing and Wicked fun that I just couldn't concentrate. I read all week and then yesterday/today for 10 hours or so and still just felt completely incompetant to discuss my issue (Which this week was choosing between Equality, Sufficiency, or Priority theories of distributive justice)
I'm seriously nervous about tomorrow's meeting because 1. I know that my essay is not as complete as last week's and 2. I'm supposed to present my argument for five minutes and do a better job of discussing my topic. This should not be something that I am unable to do, but I seem to just either be too tired or too clueless to carry on an alert dialogue. Maybe if I just work on it conciously before going it will turn out okay.
I only have 2 more essays left for Hilary term! I am excited about completing it, but on the other hand I have nothing prepared for the break where I will be traveling Europe- and if once the break is over then its all work again and then time to go home!! I need to get to London more often. It's too close not to go.
Well, I really should try to get sleep tonight considering I have a tute and rowing tomorrow. I wonder what the weekend will bring. Nothing planned as of yet so I guess anything goes :)

Wasting Away....

I can only imagine how expensive it was for your mother to send those insanely large food packages to Georgetown, much less to Oxford...but EAT anyway, Jennifer, EAT! If I weren't poor, I'd send you food. I'm sure it couldn't be that bad to send Ramen over there...it's rather lightweight.
Just remember, food fuels the brain! (I'm thinking there's some cute saying that goes along that, but I've been watching Gilmore Girls all day, so I've been bombarded with way too many absurd sayings...and I'm fresh out of the normal ones. It's a shame, really).
And to reply to the American accent thing in your last post...you DON'T spend the entire day talking to yourself??? That's not the Jennifer Marin I know.
My apologies for being long-winded. :)
sarah, i love you because you know me. sometimes i do talk to myself...but only privileged past roomies like you are allowed to know that.
its not like i'm intentionally not eating.....its something i sort of noticed after the fact :)
and mom says that's my only pakage...so i have to ration....
but i'll try harder this week, don't worry

Aw, man...I'm sorry to hear that. I just may have to find out how much it costs to send over some Ramen. But when is your break? I'd hate to send it over when you're going to be travelling about (if you are indeed 'travelling about' on your break).
