    congrats, Lima.
    I like American history, too. It's not taught as a separate subject over here, but we get bits of it as part of our English classes. Plus, it pops up in history classes once in a while. History classes in Germany (at least in my state) kind of trace the development of Western democracy from the Greeks through today, so American history and WWII stuff are part of that.

    What did you get Cat? You know there are all sorts of websites with a thesaurus and dictionary? I hardly ever use a hard copy any more.

    Today, was my first day to good health, in the gym I am in the office now, and I am feeling very very sleepy. I can sleep while standing the situation is so bad. I hope it gets over soon, and that its just the initial phase.

    I prefer the great outdoors.

    Nature seems more aesthetically pleasing than a bunch of machines.

    Mhm Dori, I love to run outside.
    But there are some things I can only really do at the gym.

    Hmm, like what?


    In keeping with the topic, I have had little to boast about as of late. It kinda sucks.

    Yay, Maddie. Exercise is so important. Modern life just makes everything so easy and makes us all so soft. We need to burn calories and stress our muscles. Best of luck. Yeah the first time you'll feel tired, but you get used to it.

    I can name all 20 amino acids, their three letter codes and most of the one letter codes
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?
