SCHOOLWORK
I managed three hours and fifteen minutes yesterday, which is about an hour more than I’ve done any other day except for Sunday (when I was meeting the deadline). I finished one assignment yesterday and made good progress on another, but this week really is quite difficult and work-intensive, so I might still be pressed tomorrow even if I work just as well today as yesterday.

EXERCISE
I rowed for 21 minutes. It was good exercise and I was quite winded afterwards. Around 12 minutes in, I felt like it might be a bit much for me, but I pushed through it. It did give me blisters on my left hand though, so I can’t do it more than twice a week until I develop callouses. I need to find another way to exercise, and I’m not really interested in stumbling around trying to dance. I looked up jumping rope, but I would probably have to do that outside, which is embarrassing, and I don’t think it would hold my interest very long. What I need is a kind of exercise RPG. Surely someone has come up with that! As for planking, last night was difficult, and I skipped this morning. I think I may take a rest day.

SPANISH
I listened to a new podcast while rowing. One of the hosts has an atrocious American accent in Spanish, but he sometimes makes mistakes and quickly corrects them (or is corrected), which is great for me. The other host has such a beautiful voice and accent that her superior could not be desired. The level of the podcast is ideal, I think, so despite the one painful accent I’m going to stick with it for a while. I did two new lessons on the Spanish grammar site and re-did two tests which apparently had not been recorded. I did my five minutes of vocabulary on the Drops app—I learned several weather-related words. I learned how to ask Alexa about the weather, and I understood most of her answer. Finally, I asked Mom, “what is this?” in reference to the table. This morning I’ve had Spanish running through my head, so I think I did a good job yesterday. I really think the podcast was the most helpful, so I need to find motivation to listen to it even on days in which I do not exercise.

RUBIK’S CUBE
I solved this once yesterday, after planking. I kind of forgot about it otherwise. If I think about it during one of my breaks today, I’ll go through my OLL algorithms.

PROJECTS
I got my Mom’s approval on a small patio table and talked with Dad about the necessary items. We have all the tools, but only one of the materials. Today we will probably go to procure these materials. I mentioned a few other projects to Mom, and she was positive about them all, and even suggested one to me herself.

MEMORIZATION
I finally succeeded in typing Psalm 19 with above 90% accuracy, and I also remembered about half of Psalm 21. I’ll continue working on Psalm 21 while reviewing 3-4 other Psalms between 1-20.

BIBLE READING AND PRAYER
I read Mark 12 today and didn’t get much out of the Keller devotional. I started praying a few times, but after ten minutes of losing concentration, I gave up. I’ll try again tomorrow.
