It's Summer - So Why Do I Have To Study?

Man, I love summer mornings. I love the fact that the sun is up at 5am and when you get up it's totally light outside. It puts you in such a great mood. The best thing is when you can sleep as long as you want on a summer morning, which I have taken the liberty of doing for the past few days. I got up today at 9:30 though, even though I could have slept a little more. There's work to do.

Yesterday gets a B+ on the productivity grading scale. I got up, showered, then went down into town and started reading my history stuff. Fur lunch, I went to the cafeteria and had the munchies for something I couldn't describe. I was pretty hungry, but I didn't want anything heavy, and in Germany it can be difficult to find food that's not "heavy." But then, there it was: the salad bar. I'm not a huge salad fan, but turns out the cafeteria has a rockin' salad bar. Not just lettuce and stuff, they've got noodle salads and eggs and all this other stuff that I don't even know the name of, but it tastes awesome. So for lunch I had a hit-the-spot-and-get-extra-points-because-it's-wonderfully-healthy-for-you salad.

After reading in the park for a while, I moved to the Clubhaus and had a coffee, and kept reading. Then I went to the library to get a book I'd needed for my research, after which I stayed in the library and finished reading the one book for history.

Took the bus back up to WHO, stopped by the store for some groceries, and then I made some PBJ sandwhiches. I am addicted to those things lately. I think I'm regressing to elementary school. Anyway after eating 4 of those with the intention of fueling myself up for a run, all the blood of course rushed to my stomach and I had the worst light-headed thing going on, so I laid down and took a power nap. The run was awesome. It was one of those runs that feels so good at the end that when you stop you think, "man, I should just do that AGAIN right now."

Hung around in the room for a bit, took a shower, and by that time it was 10:30, so it was too late to try to start studying again. Bed came at 12. Now, 9.5 hours later, here I am.

Today: more studying, followed by Chinese at 1pm, followed by more studying, then Bible study at 8pm. Here goes.

That was a B+? Crap, for me that would have been off the scale. At least in Tuebingen terms.

Okay, I guess what I mean is that in Seattle, that would have been B-grade productivity. But in Tuebingen, I'd have gotten a 1+ and a bunch of smiley faces. :) :)
