On Saturday Jared came over and we played cornhole. On
Sunday he came over again (after doing his merchandising job) and we watched a
little TV and youtube and chatted. Hence, my free time this weekend was kind of
short. I finally finished Timon of Athens this morning. Act 1 was painful, and act
2 was predictable and unhappy, but I enjoyed the rest of the play. Timon
becomes misanthropic (even calling himself Misanthropos) and while I recognize
that it isn’t viable, I can sympathize with the view.
SCHOOLWORK
I worked very well on Saturday and finished my assignments for the week. In the end, my slump didn’t sabotage me too much.

JOB
Nada.
EXERCISE
On Saturday I rowed again, only for 18 minutes. I felt exhausted after that time and incapable of pushing myself, which is silly. I think I need a better goal than “row for 25 minutes.” It would also be beneficial to change up my form of exercise. The planking program is getting ridiculous—the workout I’m in the middle of now started out with 2:40 of straight arm planking, continued to 2:30 minutes of normal planking, and there were still nine exercises left. Can anyone (who isn’t a pro athlete or some kind of ironman) actually do this whole workout in a single session? I doubt it. I should see it as a challenge, and I do, but it’s one that I’m not close to achieving.

SPANISH
I started studying preterite and imperfect, which was extremely helpful and not terribly difficult. I’m looking forward to learning other verb voices and tenses.

DIY
I attached supports to the legs so that the table is sturdier. The table was flat on the ground with the supports clamped, but after I attached the second support it wobbled considerably. Yesterday I put the table upside down and used an electric sander to grind down the length, so now it wobbles only a slight amount. I’m almost ready to attach the top of the table, but I need to find something that is a quarter inch thick to put under the boards so that I can make the tabletop slightly recessed. My search yesterday didn’t turn up anything, but I’m hoping that consulting with Dad will give me an idea. All of the tabletop boards were too long to fit, so I had to saw off very small pieces at the end and sand them again. Thanks to this, I’ve decided that in the future I will figure out when I need boards cut and not do so before that time, so that I can make sure the length is practical. Doing a better job of measuring would probably help too, but I don’t have any ideas for how I could do that differently.

PROGRAMMING
I had more ideas for idle incrementals, but there’s so much
that I don’t know how to do and my progress is so slow that I’m easily
distracted. I got started converting the little I had written for the coding
idle game to use bootstrap, but I don’t think I’ve even tested it yet.
PEOPLE JOURNAL
I wrote about someone at church whose name escapes me at the moment. It's on the tip of my tongue though.
BIBLE MEMORY
I’m up to 27:8 now, but ended up skipping yesterday, contrary to my intentions.

BIBLE READING AND PRAYER
Actually skipped this today, I guess because I was home alone and I wanted to prove to myself I could get up and going early even when no one else is around. It’s not a good excuse.
