Literature (oral; I'm doing 19th c. novel and Shakespeare), didactics; and then it's the same all over in Geography: physical geo, regional geo, didactics.

19th c novels? early or late 19th centurey Sleepy? or are you doing the whole thing?
Shakespeare? does that mean you will be hanging out in the shakespeare subforums and joiing in with the shakepseare readings in the book club? - as a sort of study aid of course

I see you tempered it with the word 'may'

The wii-fit is a game that goes with the Nintendo Wii console and consists of a balance board and, I think, 49 'mini-games' designed to improve your fitness, mainly core stability. So it's got aerobic games, yoga, skiing, those sorts of things, and because it's linked to a games console it is also fun! Details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_Fit

Well, one is never sure oneself is being silly. Otherwise one would be silly. I'm at least open to the possiblitiy of being silly. Oh and I am definitely very silly.

Hey that's great. Between this and your post about giving up your car (I think I'm remembering that, though I have no idea where you posted it) you seem to be very serious about getiting fit. Good for you. It's been almost two years now that I really got serious in my exercise. I've been going to a gym (no high tech approach, but you know how old fashion I am ) two or three times a week plus a good walk at least once a week and I'm in as good of fitness as when I was in my twenties. It feels great. Best of luck.

Thanks Virgil I used it for the first time yesterday and today I am aching!! Which is good. The yoga exercises are really good, and a good support to the cycling which is going really well (despite the weather). As for getting serious about getting fit, yes that's probably the case. I recently read Haruki Murakami's semi-biography What I talk about when I talk about running and it reminded me of a few things. I guess it's easy to fall into the trappings of convenience, but I've always been quite an active person - we didn't have a car until I was 17 so I walked pretty much everywhere and I never used to be put off by distance. Obviously that's changed! But not anymore. I've been cycling for 5 weeks now and I'm already feeling the benefits in terms of improved mood, I'm less agitated than I used to be particularly when I get to work, and physically I'm more resilient - I've had a cold which was not a bad cold, and there are other benefits which I could only mention in the women's only thread So, good news all round really

If finances go as planned for November, I'll be glad to boast about something very peculiar to me, and you'll hear of me; if things go really good, I'll boast of two things!

( If things DON'T work out however, is there anywhere I can say how miserable I'll be? ... )
