Day 380

My alarm went off 4 times. Did I get up? No. It's a good thing I have a roommate! When she came back from her first class, I woke up and still had enough time to go to the gym. New Year's Resolution started on the 14th, ... guess I just do things differently. I don't think anyone else had a NYR to work out. I was the only person (excluding guys in the free-weight room) for most of my workout. I was definitely okay with that though. I didn't really want to run into anyone. I've been told the elliptical machine is better than the treadmill, so I spent half an hour frustrated by the amount of sweat I was producing. Turns out, when you don't work out like ever and you try to work out for 30 minutes, your heart rate is really high! I feel like 175bpm probably shouldn't be sustained for 25-30 minutes. My resting heart rate is pretty high and I get winded climbing stairs, so I think I need to spend a while working on cardio before I even think about muscles. I gotta have the blood to support the muscles.

The thing about working out, you can't waste it by poor eating. Dinner was grilled chicken, fresh spinach, tomatoes, and an apple. I miss my carbs. Good thing I have some Ritz crackers in my room. But only a few!

LSM did chapel today. It was a very creative way to advertise the mission trips. I won't be going on on this year due to the England trip. I don't regret my decision, but I wish that I could go on the Spring Break Missions trip too.

I was about to publish this post when a loud siren went off. The building began to speak to me and banished me from her presence. She told me that it was for my safety; that there was a fire. I didn't believe her, but I left anyways. She lied to me, there was no fire. Once everyone was out of the building, she continued to sing us the song of her people. It must be a mating song because several men came rushing to see if she was okay. Outside I heard a person telling how she tried to make Mac n Cheese without water and that is what upset the building. The building held all the smoke inside until we were allowed back to open our windows. Of course, now it smells like smoke and it is freezing. Ain't nobody got time for dat!
