– You might remember (although I hope you have more important things to store in your memory) that I was staying up until 1:00am most nights a while back. But then I went to Frankfurt, and the time changes reset everything, so it was more like 11:00pm for a while, then midnight, and I’ve been back to 1:00am for almost a week now. I don’t really care when I go to bed (although I prefer staying up late to waking up too early), but I can’t turn off the light even a minute before I’m ready to fall asleep, or I’ll toss and turn. The strange thing is that, even if I wind up eating breakfast at 9:50 in the morning, I’ll be hungry for lunch about an hour and a half later. I had a late-ish start today, so I had a slightly-smaller-than-usual breakfast. Waffles are good.
– I had my first acting class last night, which was a lot of fun. And tonight was my second French lesson. Community ed is amazing. I’m also sort of impressed by how much easier it is to learn French at my current age than it was to start learning German at twelve years old. I’m sure a big part of it is having already learned a foreign language and being familiar with the process. But you’re supposed to get worse with languages as you get older (and I’m sure there’s a wall to hit somewhere here; it’s hardly as though I’ve already conquered the French language). Maybe that year of Montessori kindergarten has just been lying dormant all these years, waiting.
– Alex asked what sort of cereal was in my last post, and the answer is Honey Smacks. I was going to try making my own when I finished with my last box, but then I ran out of enthusiasm for that project. So more refined sugar it is. I only eat Smacks with yogurt (well, once I had some for dessert), because eating a bowl as actual cereal would just be a rush of sugar and then a big crash.
– I suppose I had better pack for the cabin now. And fold all that laundry over there. And do the last of the dishes. And maybe tidy up a bit. Thank goodness it’s only 11:30 at night — plenty of time yet to be productive! Weird.
Honey Smacks! Is that the one with the little gangsta frog with the backwards baseball cap? { Google Search } Haha. It looks like his cap originally started on forwards, then gradually rotated backwards throughout the cereal’s advertising history. That is amazing.
Have fun @ the cabin, you lucky duck!
