My skating instructor and her assistant said they were talking about me today The assistant talked to me separately and said how good I was getting. And the instructor told me I was most improved Then she told me to just go get the skates that I thought were too small and bring them to her. So I did and she said they were too BIG. I don’t know what happened, but I actually see her point. She told me to get a size 3 1/2, which is insane… but fuck it, I did it. She made me feel really good when she said that I was so good because I had to work 10x harder to get where everyone else was, and it showed I had a lot of determination and was dedicated (and that’s why, she reasoned, I should get the right size shoe). It made me go awww. So I bought another (FINAL) pair of skates.

For some reason, though, I’ve been kind of having a not-so-good day. I felt stressed and ended up finishing up Oryx and Crake (so good), and falling asleep. My body just cannot handle naps and I felt groggy and sick… and then threw up. But I just kind of threw up my sickness, and I feel better now. I’d like to sleep my regular sleep now…
