Exams: done

[hawkwing_lb]

Unless something went horribly wrong, I'm done with my exams for the year.

None of the questions were particularly engaging, but fortunately panhellenic sanctuaries are quite straightforward, and I managed to talk my way through a 'Dark Age: not really all that dark?' and a 'Peisistratid Athens: what have tyrants done for us lately?' question or two. (I paraphrase, of course, the original examese not being quite so simple.)

Afterwards, I went to the gym and hung out of a climbing wall for thirty minutes. My muscles, I mournz them.

I think I take the rest of the week off, light running, maybe some kata, some push-ups. Next week I start work on the assigned reading for the Crete thing, so since I have to be in college anyway, I may as well try to put in a full day's work, starting in the gym, moving to the library, and ending at the climbing wall. We'll see. I do need to tighten up physical fitness and general health, though.

I may start tracking food intake, to try to get the protein/energy consumption halfway balanced. Going by a couple of those nifty little 'calculate-your-daily-requirements' gadgets, when I hit the gym, to maintain, I need something like 3000 kcal daily, ramping up to 3500 if I throw in an hour's proper climbing instead. So I kinda need to undercut that, until I become the trim, muscled exercise machine I need to be to ever have a chance to climb like the climbing monkeys I envy. And also, track protein intake, because I halfway suspect that before the exams, I wasn't keeping up with what I needed to help my muscles achieve their potential muscularity, so to speak.

And try to vary my vegetables a little bit, because really, eating the same fruit and veg every day is predictable, and predictably boring.

And oh, try not to spend any money while doing this. Well, as little as possible. Inflationary economies, I hates them. (We can haz recession? Can haz very soon.)

I have ambitions of impressive healthfulness. Since I usually fall short of my ambitions, this is probably better than having ambitions of modest healthfulness.

(Two weeks one day to Asgard II. Five weeks three days to Crete.)

So what you're saying is you need to eat like Chaz for a while, in lesser quantities.

Much lesser quantities. But yes, sort of. :)
